This text narrates a piece of the 60 years' story of the Psychology Department at PUC-Rio, emphasizing its pioneer character in training and in producing knowledge. In 1953 Hanns Lippmann created the Institute for Applied Psychology (IPA), the first Training Course for Psychologists in the country, which classes were then in the Santa Casa wards. In 1957 the course was transferred to the newly opened campus in Gávea. In 1966 the Department implemented the first Masters Course in Psychology in Brazil. The PhD Course started in 1985. With great tradition in the field of Clinical Psychology and with undisputed leadership in the national scenario, the Psychology Department had titled, until 2013, 4.584 psychologists, 722 masters, and 166 doctors.

Keywords : psychology; undergraduate; masters; PhD; history.
