PRADO, Oliver Zancul. Softwares for psychology: regulation, national production and clinical psychology research. Bol. psicol [online]. 2005, vol.55, n.123, pp.177-188. ISSN 0006-5943.

This article analyses Brazilian commercial and scientific software production and regulation applied to Psychology. The clinical area still lacks knowledge and informational products. A literature review was conducted, based on clinical psychological research, pointing to a low frequency of quantitative and result based research. It is verified that the methodological difficulties for the accomplishment of such research could be surpassed using clinical systems. Some initiatives on clinical systems are demonstrated, as well as its advantages over clinical data registered on paper.

Keywords : Psychological evaluation; Clinical psychology; Psychological university clinic; Computer science; Research.
