MARTINS, Alberto Mesaque; ABADE, Flávia Lemos  and  AFONSO, Maria Lúcia Miranda. Gender and Training of psychologists: meanings attributed by students to men's health. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2016, vol.22, n.1, pp. 164-184. ISSN 1677-1168.  http://dx.doi.org/DOI-10.5752/P.1678-9523.2016V22N1P164.

The paper presents a qualitative research with a focal group composed of Psychology students. It analyzes the meanings the students attribute to the relationship between gender and health, especially to Men´s Health. The research was based on gender theories and on studies about education in Psychology, considering their interrelation with Collective Health. The meanings expressed by the students are marked by their modes of life production, especially by their experiences in work and family, influencing their perceptions about men and health care. The paper defends the incorporation of the discussion about gender and health in the course of Psychology, within a critical and propositional perspective, not only cognitive, considering the guidelines of the Unified System of Health (Sistema Único de Saúde)

Keywords : Gender; Psychologist education; Social Psychology; Education; Public health.
