Dilemas y confrontaciones del estudiante de último año frente a los contextos de práctica

Abstract

The booklet reflects on the processes of accompaniment that arise in the professional practices of students in their final year of training in the Psychology programme at the Universidad Santo Tomás, to invite the promotion of generative dynamics in the approach to the needs of students, now practitioners or psychologists in training, who live this process. The academic space for professional practices represents a meeting place between the teacher who assumes the role of supervisor and the student who takes on the challenge of applying his or her knowledge in a context that outlines him or her as a psychologist in training. This meeting between the supervisor and the psychologist in training is mediated by different relational configurations that go through the development of the personal and professional competences of their participants, while favouring the development of recursive positions in the face of the processes of change to which the student is exposed. Even so, this moment of professional practice also promotes situations perceived as critical and it is there where these dilemmas play an important role in the definition of a style of intervention in relation to practice and life itself. The booklet presents theoretical understandings about self-referential processes, stress and self-care actions that a practitioner may experience in his/her last year of training, as opposed to the situations that work may represent in a practice context. Likewise, each activity presents a series of exercises to be developed within the spaces of supervision,
