A situation analysis of the scientific production concerning psychologist s social commitment can aid the historical constitution of this theme and also subsidize reflections about the course of this profession in Brazil. In order to contribute to this debate, the theme social commitment of psychologist was analyzed in the scientific literature concerning psychologist profession in the country. Specifically, papers about the profession that mentioned the theme social commitment were characterized and their approach of this matter was analyzed. In order to accomplish these goals, two research stages were fulfilled: first, in a systematic search for scientific literature in internet databases, studies about the psychologist profession in the country were gathered; in the second stage, scientific papers relating to social commitment in their titles, abstracts or keywords were selected. 61 papers were retrieved, organized in electronic database and full-text analyzed, based in two axis: scientometric and thematic. The papers were identified, in general, as recent, of theoretic character and aligned with several Psychology subareas; mainly produced in public universities, in country s southwest; were of conjunctural interest to the authors research projects, individually published, by professors in touch with post-graduation; published in open access journals, with high Qualis evaluation. It was verified that there is no consensus on the meaning of the theme, prevailing definitions concerning the understanding of the social reality, to the majority of people or to a progressive-aligned professional performance. Are adduced as committed agents: the psychologist (sometimes together with other kinds of professionals or with users), the academia, and the representative entities of the profession. Depending on the subareas and the nature of study, all papers mentioned at least one of the following criteria: expansion of target-audience, renewal of practices, political direction, defined theoretical approach or adequate technical competence, sometimes relating each other. In short, psychologist s social commitment is a contradictory issue which have earned projection in scientific literature, reiterating the historical custom of evaluate the psychologist profession. As conclusion, it is regarded as indispensable to intensify the reflection about the role whose psychologist plays in a class-cleaved society and the limits and potentials of his performing in that framework. / Uma an?lise de conjunto da produ??o cient?fica sobre compromisso social do psic?logo pode auxiliar a constitui??o hist?rica sobre o tema e subsidiar reflex?es acerca dos rumos dessa profiss?o no Brasil. A fim de contribuir para esse debate, o tema compromisso social do psic?logo foi analisado na literatura cient?fica sobre a profiss?o de psic?logo no pa?s. Especificamente, caracterizou-se artigos cient?ficos sobre a profiss?o, que mencionam o tema compromisso social; e analisou-se como esse assunto ? abordado nos documentos investigados. Para isso, realizou-se duas etapas de pesquisa: primeiro, numa busca sistem?tica de literatura cient?fica em bases de dados na internet, recolheu-se estudos sobre a profiss?o de psic?logo no pa?s; na segunda etapa, selecionou-se artigos cient?ficos relacionados a compromisso social nos t?tulos, nos resumos ou nas palavras-chave. Recuperou-se 61 artigos, que foram organizados em bancos eletr?nicos e analisados na ?ntegra, com base em dois eixos: cientom?trico e tem?tico. Identificou-se que os artigos, em geral, s?o recentes, de car?ter te?rico, alinhados a diversas sub?reas da Psicologia; produzidos em universidades p?blicas, no Sudeste do pa?s; de interesse conjuntural nos projetos de pesquisa dos autores, publicados individualmente, por professores vinculados ? p?s-gradua??o; veiculados em peri?dicos em acesso aberto, com elevada avalia??o Qualis. Verificou-se que n?o h? consenso acerca do significado do tema; prevalecendo defini??es concernentes ? compreens?o da realidade social, ? considera??o das necessidades da maioria das pessoas, ou a uma atua??o progressista. S?o citados como atores comprometidos: o psic?logo (por vezes, em conjunto com outros profissionais ou o p?blico-alvo); a academia; e as entidades representativas da profiss?o. A depender das sub?reas e da natureza dos estudos, todos os artigos mencionam pelo menos um dos crit?rios, por vezes relacionados entre si: expans?o do p?blico-alvo, renova??o das pr?ticas, dire??o pol?tica, aporte te?rico definido, ou adequada compet?ncia t?cnica. Em s?ntese, compromisso social do psic?logo ? um tema contradit?rio, que tem merecido destaque na literatura cient?fica, reiterando a pr?tica hist?rica de avalia??o da profiss?o de psic?logo. Considera-se, a partir deste estudo, indispens?vel aprofundar as reflex?es sobre o lugar que o psic?logo ocupa numa sociedade divida em classes, e os limites e possibilidades de sua atua??o nessa conjuntura.
