Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT This article aims to analyse the discussions of the concepts elaborated by Pierre Bourdieu in the work of Maria Helena Souza Patto, a retired professor and researcher from the Psychology Institute of USP, whose intellectual production was a watershed in the field of psychology in interface with education in Brazil. From this set of writings, three books and one chapter will be highlighted: Psychology and Ideology (1984), The production of school failure (1990), The misery of the world in the third world (2000) and Denied citizenship (2009). The references to Bourdieu throughout Patto’s work highlight the need for a critical dialogue by prioritising, in her analysis, the complexity of the Brazilian educational reality and considering the dangers in the use of concepts when they conceal the power relations present in their articulations with the problems studied. RESUMO O presente artigo objetiva analisar as discussões dos conceitos elaborados por Pierre Bourdieu na obra de Maria Helena Souza Patto, professora aposentada e pesquisadora do Instituto de Psicologia da USP, cuja produção intelectual foi divisora de águas no campo da Psicologia em interface com a educação no Brasil. Do conjunto de escritos, será dado destaque a três livros e um capítulo: Psicologia e Ideologia (1984), A produção do fracasso escolar (1990), A miséria do mundo no terceiro mundo (2000) e A cidadania negada (2009). As referências a Bourdieu ao longo da obra de Patto dão relevo à necessidade de um diálogo crítico ao priorizar, em sua análise, a complexidade da realidade educacional brasileira e considerar os perigos na utilização de conceitos quando dissimulam as relações de forças presentes em suas articulações com as problemáticas estudadas.
