FORMAÇÃO EM PSICOLOGIA CLÍNICA NO CONTEXTO PANDÊMICO: POSSIBILIDADES DA EXTENSÃO POR MEIO DE UM GRUPO DE ESTUDOS

Abstract

The objective of the present study was to describe the realization of the study group aimed at training in clinical psychology during the COVID-19 pandemic and to analyze its contributions to the theoretical and practical improvement of the members. This is an experience report of the activities developed between the months of april to december 2020 in a group offered through an extension project of a public university in the interior of Paraná. In total, 28 meetings were held, with about 7 participants. The materials inherent to group discussions will be portrayed and discussed in the light of the scientific literature and the perceptions of three students who were part of the group, through the systematizationof three theoretical axes: (1) Specificities of the Psychology School Service and its contributions to practice professional; (2) Medicalization and Psychoanalysis; (3) Psychoanalysis with children and adolescents: the theories of Melanie Klein, Donald Winnicott, Anna Freud and Françoise Dolto. The analysis of the discussions showed that the potential of the group referred not only to the development of theoretical knowledge, given that the group had a plurality of knowledge, but also to the deepening of that knowledge and exchange of experiences, which, in a context of uncertainties and difficulties, also made it possible to accommodate the evidenced demands.
