The main objective of this study is to research the possibility of a social worker professional intervention, in light of the theory of complexity, and the object of study is to conduct an analysis on the professional practice, from such theoretical and methodological proposal. We, therefore, carried out a survey with social workers attached to the Reference Centre for Social Welfare Vila Industrial, São José dos Campos. The study attempted to identify the most significant components that the subjects in question attach to professional practice, as well as the necessary underlying knowledge for the exercise of professional intervention. A multidimensional methodology of research was employed, attempting to understand the phenomena in its scale with the willingness to experience and interact in the context investigated, observe and be observed, seeking to identify the contents able to clarify the subject under study.
