Ethics, clinic, and directives: psychologist's qualification, in times of course assessment

The current article presents and discusses the results of a research about the relation between Ethics and Clinic in the context of the university qualification granted to psychologists. Nowadays, Clinic can be understood as an ethical device of 'subjectivities', according to the analysis of concepts presented by Lacan and Foucault. Regarding fieldwork, the research was carried out in a private university, focusing its Clinic-school. Data were arranged in form of a critical dialogue with the proposal of the 'Curricular Directives for Psychology Courses'. The importance of Ethics, understood as a set of "self practices" is highlighted in the general qualification of psychologists, even if this emphasis is not considered by the Curriculum Directives. It is relevant that, the ethical dimension of "psy" Clinic might appear transversally, not segmented, in the general qualification of psychologists.
