O número de crianças em medida de acolhimento residencial revela-se, ainda hoje, bastante significativo. Devido a este facto e à escassez de estudos a nível nacional torna-se pertinente compreender o conceito de família em contexto residencial pelos psicólogos que as trabalham. Assim este estudo pretende compreender as perceções dos psicólogos do acolhimento residencial acerca das famílias com as quais trabalham, o papel que desempenham no contexto de acolhimento residencial e a perspetiva que têm acerca do seu trabalho.
