Formação para o sus nos cursos de psicologia em alagoas

Abstract

This article discusses the academic education of psychologists in the province of Alagoas and its relationship with Brazilian National Health System (SUS), from the analyzes of curricula of the four undergraduate Psychology courses of the province. We built four lines of analysis of subjects from the summaries, syllabuses and bibliographies: Clinical, psychopathology and psychological evaluation; Biomedical; Socio and cultural interfaces; Fundamentals of research and work in Psychology. We discussed ways to approach health, problematizing their relationship with the integrality principle in SUS. The results indicate that in the approach to health there is the predominance of content focused on the identification and classification of disorders and psychopathology, and an individualistic and fragmented conception of the subject based on the biomedical model. In turn, the approach of integrality, when present in curricula, has the potential to guide changes in undergraduate courses, binding to diverse scenarios, multidisciplinary and a generalist professional education.
