Abstract

The present research project had as its main objective to describe the perception of telehealth in the practice of clinical psychology in the SAP with respect to the processes of training and development of skills, based on a descriptive quantitative methodology; the sample was composed of 39 students who performed their practice in the Psychological Care Service (SAP) in the academic semester 2021-1 and 5 of their respective supervisors. A survey-type instrument developed by the researcher and validated by professionals in the field of clinical psychology was applied, which assessed the perception of the development of clinical skills in the trainees with respect to the practice of clinical psychology under the telehealth modality using a Likert-type scale. The results obtained were systematized on the basis of statistics of central tendency and dispersion, in addition to Pearson's correlation coefficient, after which, together with the literature review, it was possible to conclude that the application of clinical psychology from this modality in the context of SAP practices is permeated by various elements that favor and hinder the development of clinical skills, highlighting the optimal development of these from the perspective of both practitioners and supervisors, but nevertheless, from their perception it was achieved in different measures and from different processes, also identifying advantages and disadvantages in which to work for its application in a post-pandemic context.
