Six proposals for graduation in psychology: A dialogue between pet-health and italo calvin

Abstract

This paper problematizes the orientation of a Psychology graduation course to the principles of the Brazilian National Health System (SUS). It was carried out by conversation wheels with a group of people from the Education for Working Health Program (PET-Health) from the Alagoas Federal University. The analysis was carried out from the interaction between the conversation rounds and Ítalo Calvino’s text “Six proposals for the next millennium”: Lightness, quickness, exactitude, visibility, multiplicity and consistency, deriving the six proposals for a graduation in psychology. The conclusion is that an education to be applied in the SUS happens in life, and it is in the life of cities and people that an knowledge in Psychology needs to (insist in the challenge to consist) occupy concrete spaces to dialogue with people regarding their health needs.
