When I was in the first grade of my
career, I participate in some reunions for create the new curriculum of studies
of psychology, in this meetings professors and students take part, and I
remember some things of this conversations but in this time (when I was a
"mechon") I didn't know what significate the majority of the
concepts. Today I can bring my opinion because I lived the career (I'm in the
last year of pregrade). Well, psychology have many laboral areas very different
between them, each laboral area have inside many approaches of study and
intervention. So we can say the psychology is not one, exists a lot of forms to
applicate and study psychology, and one of the good things of the program in
the Universidad de Chile is the varied contents in the curriculum and the
facility for students to choose the subjects they want.
In spite of this I
think what some subjects in the optative cycle are very important and they most
be part of the basic cycle, for example I think the antipsiquiatria subject
have knowledges necessaries for create in students a critical thought about the
neurosciences and psychopathology. And I think what each one of us, as
psychologists, need know different approaches for these themes.
In other hand, I criticize
the infrastructure, the building of the aularios separated facso. Now is very
difficult create chances for meet the community and I think what the communication
between the different careers of facso and all the stratums is fundamental in a
faculty of social sciences.
