QUAYLE, Julieta. On the formation of the psychologist as psychotherapist: challenges and state of art. Psicol. Ensino & Form. [online]. 2010, vol.1, n.1, pp. 99-110. ISSN 2177-2061.

The formation of psychotherapists in our country is done at different levels and in different ways, as a reflection of a fragmented scientific and professional field. Nowadays, it is considered adequate to refer to this activity in its plural form: psychotherapies, to contemplate the diversity of this field. Considering the particularities of psychotherapies and the fact that different professions are allowed to exercise it, from various theoretical approaches and techniques, the field of psychotherapies presents specific problems and difficulties to be mapped and, accordingly, to propose guidelines to the profession and the formation of psychotherapists. The present paper aims at mapping this situation and proposing guidelines for the main issues raised.

Keywords : Psychotherapist's formation; Psychotherapist's training; Teaching of psychology; Education of Psychologists.
