The article was written from a bibliographic review and, originally, was part of reflections built in one of the chapters of the doctoral thesis of one of the authors. However, in reviewing the structure of the thesis, it was decided to extract them from the chapter in order to guarantee greater objectivity of the reflections presented there. It was considered, however, to present them in the form of this article. Thus, it seeks to contribute to reflections on the particularity of the social worker's work in different socio-occupational spaces.
