MACEDO, João Paulo et al. New Scenarios of Training in Psychology in Brazil. Av. Psicol. Latinoam. [online]. 2014, vol.32, n.2, pp.321-332. ISSN 1794-4724.

The training in psychology in Brazil undergoes transformations with the expansion of the higher educational sector. On the one hand there is a growing number of courses in psychology at work in the interior regions of the country. On the other, there is a growing incorporation of educational institutions by foreign groups. Thus. the objective of this study reflects on the scenarios of internalization and internationalization of psychology courses, focusing on the challenges to the formation of the Brazilian psychologists. This is a descriptive exploratory study, in which the information for data analysis was recovered in official databases on higher education in Brazil. We believe that this context sets new scenarios and challenges for the training of psychologists, as it repositions the profession in our country, before centered in urban centers, and requires that curricula, including internationalized courses, meet local specificities (spatial, social and symbolic) that permeate Brazilian reality.
