It was observed that the search for psychological care for the deaf community find barriers, both for their autonomy in society as related to communication with this professional. It is also discussed about the participation of LSB interpreter in the context of psychological attention and possible ethical implications, the learning of Brazilian Sign Language in the formation of the psychologist and the engagement of psychologists and deaf in the elaboration of public policies on the subject.
