Abstract

The historical review of psychology as a field of study and professional practice, is directly related to the history of our country. As we can see, the concern with the professional Psychology training is not recent, with a study dating from 1975. And from then many authors have pointed students dissatisfaction with their graduation courses, indicating perform their failure to form critical professionals and able to perform a reasoned practice based on the advances of psychological science. Therefore the present study aimed to understand how the formation, from the perspective of students who graduated in Psychology at UFJF - MG graduated at the latest three years, contributed to the work of these professionals in various areas of this field of knowledge and from there raise the positive and negative aspects of the formation in question. Therefore, a qualitative approach in the light of the Phenomenology was performed. Eight psychologists formed by this institution participated in the survey, aged 23-26 years. The experience at this area ranged from six months to two years. For data collection, a structured interview was used containing five triggering questions. From the analysis of the meanings of the experience we can conclude: that most professionals positively evaluate their training, among the problems presented we have highlighted a little diversity of theories and areas covered in the training. The data indicate that changes are needed in the course structure in order to have the opportunity to practice a greater theoretical diversity during training.
