Introduction
The Post-Graduate Program in Clinical Psychology at PUC-SP focuses on Clinical Psychology (Treatment and Prevention), prioritizing the production of knowledge regarding the intervention, prevention and health promotion of the entire social fabric, as well as contemplating the diversity of epistemological, theoretical and methodological positions in Clinical Psychology. Priority is given to a renewed look at the psychic reality and the understanding of subjectivation processes in the clinic and institutions.
It aims to develop and encourage advanced research activities with didactic and scientific purposes through in-depth studies of the psychic reality in its process of evolution and transformation, paying attention to emerging needs in terms of individual and group adaptation to new cultural and social configurations; monitor scientific advances and update the neuro-psycho-biological and environmental insertion of Clinical Psychology.
For this purpose, Clinical Psychology methods are used and critical evaluations of these methods are proposed, as well as the conceptual elaborations produced from their application in different contexts. It confers the titles of Master and Doctor in Clinical Psychology, as well as welcomes and encourages Post Doctoral projects in its epistemological area.
Our History
Considered one of the oldest Clinical Psychology programs in the country, the Graduate Program in Clinical Psychology at PUC-SP was established in 1976. The recognition of its excellence can also be seen in different awards, among which, the Capes Award for Thesis in Psychology, the Jabuti Award in Psychology, Psychoanalysis and Behavior, awards for Scientific Initiation projects indicating an excellent integration with graduation and expressiveness lines of research. Its educational system is considered a national model and attracts students from all over the country and abroad. The consistent training has progressively incorporated scientific and technological innovations and over the years bonds of collaboration and interface have been developed with different areas of knowledge in almost all Brazilian states and in several Latin American and European countries, with researchers, teachers and professionals from psychology and from other areas of the human, legal, biological, environmental and earth sciences, as well as professionals related to the arts and culture. It expresses an understanding of broad clinical psychology focused on the diversity of demands and contexts aimed at implementing psychic health in the individual, family and society.
Area of concentration: Clinical Psychology
Basic Area: Treatment and Prevention
The Program develops three lines of research that concentrate research projects. The lines of research are linked to the Projects and didactic activities of the professors, which, in turn, are grouped in centers called Teaching and Research Nucleus, understood as spaces for organization and connection of professors, students and external researchers in areas of knowledge differentiated. There are six cores:
- Contemporary Configurations of Clinical Psychology
- Jungian Studies
- Family and community
- Psychoanalytic Method and Culture Formations
- Advanced Studies in Psychosomatics
- Subjectivity Studies
Research Lines
Line 1 - Fundamentals of Clinical Psychology
Dedicated to the study of clinical psychology assumptions and components from philosophy (ontology, epistemology, methodology) or other scientific and cultural fields, as well as the basic structures of its theories and procedures.
Line 2 - Contemporary Guidelines in Clinical Psychology
It aims to study central themes and issues of contemporary Clinical Psychology, taking into account the pluralism of existing paradigms and the transforming nature of the clinic in its performance in the most diverse contexts.
Line 3 - Historical and Cultural Contexts of Clinical Psychology
It addresses genealogical aspects and modes of interaction of Clinical Psychology with different areas of culture and society. It also aims to build Clinical Psychology as a transforming agent.
