This article presents a theoretical contribution of the doctoral thesis entitled “The psychopedagogue in the municipal public network in seven Brazilian states: scenarios and challenges”, covering the historical trajectory of psychopedagogy in the Brazilian context from 1970 to 2020. The methodology adopted is of a theoretical and bibliographical nature, which aimed at recovering the genesis of Psychopedagogy, including data on the creation of documents and representative bodies of the area. Thus, the importance of the Brazilian Association of Psychopedagogy (ABPp) was verified, as well as the congresses, events, debates, and meetings held at regional, state, and national levels, which contributed to discussions and reflections on Psychopedagogy in Brazil, the formation and performance of the psychopedagogue, the professional identity and the regulation of the profession.
