FERES-CARNEIRO, Terezinha. Building knowledge in psychology: the challenge of articulating different theories and practices. Temas psicol. [online]. 2014, vol.22, n.4, pp. 953-964. ISSN 1413-389X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.9788/TP2014.4-21.

In this article - presented during the Opening Conference of the 44^th Brazilian Psychological Society (SBP) Annual Meeting, held in Ribeirão Preto, in 10/21/14 - the author discusses the articulations between different theoretical and technical approaches built by her from professional experiences within the academy and clinical practice. The story of a 42-year-journey - both as a professor/researcher and as a clinical psychologist - is narrated, highlighting the inseparable conception of such roles. The author presents results from surveys regarding family assessment, marriage, divorce, remarriage, and family and couple's psychotherapy, as well as contemporary conjugality and parenthood. The article features the possibilities in which different theoretical approaches can complement themselves during research and clinical practice with families and couples. Traditional purism in data analysis is waived during the "Parent Conjugality Questionnaire" (QCP, in Portuguese) validation studies, favoring a closer dialogue between two seemingly incompatible areas - Psychometrics and Psychoanalysis - reaffirming the author's purpose of seeking theoretical articulation between psychological research and clinical practice. This proposal meets the 44th SBP Annual Reunion's theme: "Where Diversity is Found".

Palabras clave : Research; clinical practice; theoretical articulation.
