RASERA, Emerson F; BALAZ, Flávia M. Seidinger    YAZLLE, Claudia H. D. Unofficial curriculum in psychology: the students' experience. Temas psicol. []. 1998, 6, 1, pp.45-50. ISSN 1413-389X.

This article contributes for the discussion of unofficial curriculum's role in psychology professional training. It brings some thoughts about the course structure, its institutional insertion, and the construction of psychological knowledge presented at the Forum de Debates em Psicologia, organized by undergraduated students, authors of this paper. By discussing internships' structure and the relationship among professors, the authors indicate how certain institutional relationships make it difficult to achieve an integrated professional training and the dialogue about different theories and psychological pratices. This paper also points out how a research training program makes it possible to articulate professors and their different perspectives in psychology. Finally, it calls the attention for the need and responsibility of students and professors in creating room for discussion and reflection about professional training, knowledge construction and pratices in psychology.
