It is identified that the constitution, legitimation and consolidation of Brazilian Social Work has unique characteristics, a result of the social, cultural, political and economic formation of Brazil and also due to the way in which the professional category was collectively organized throughout the trajectory of the profession.From this research, challenges are identified for Brazilian Social Work in a context of advance of conservatism and neoliberal policies.
