Abstract

GUARESCHI, Neuza Maria de Fátima et al. The psichological assessment, psicopathology and psychotherapies in the degree of health professional for the SUS: a study of the psychology curricula. Rev. Mal-Estar Subj. [online]. 2011, vol.11, n.1, pp.171-204. ISSN 1518-6148.

This paper has stemmed from a research aiming at showing how curricula of Psychology courses in Rio Grande do Sul have shown signs of moving towards education of health professionals for SUS. This work has been developed from the analysis of the program of academic subjects, both highlighting and discussing the directions provided by programs, contents and bibliographies, having the principles and guidelines of SUS health policies as its axis. The paper has a special focus on the study of academic subjects that approach the contents of Psychological Assessment, Psychopathology, and Psychotherapy. To develop this discussion we analyzed the input of Psychology in the collective health area and the contributions of this to the construction of the new health policy through the academic formation. This discussion is pointed by the principal tool and theoretical concepts discussed in the collective health area, such as the broadening of the health concept, the principle of integration, the policy of humanization and the comprehensive care perspective in the health care. From the analysis, we have pointed out the need for problematizing the construction of the psychologist subject, a health professional that has been produced by Psychology courses, as well as the effects that might be felt in the daily routine of health services.
