Els àmbits de pràctica professional en els estudis de psicologia: present i futur

Els alumnes de Psicologia, quan inicien els seus estudis universitaris, sovint tenen una imatge parcial i esbiaixada de l’ampli ventall de possibilitats professionals de què disposa el psicòleg en l’àmbit aplicat. Seria desitjable que aquestes representacions inicials anessin modificant-se al llarg dels estudis per anar-se apropant als perfils existents en la pràctica professional.Els plans d’estudi anteriors a la reforma del Espai Europeu d’Educació Superior difícilment assolien aquest objectiu en l’àmbit de la Psicologia: una llicenciatura estructurada en àrees de coneixement, no sempre directament vinculades a perfils professionals, i poques hores de pràctica en centres aplicats, hi contribuïen clarament. Però les múltiples reformes que planteja la convergència europea a nivell d’estudis superiors, introdueixen un seguit de modificacions importants al respecte que poden resultar avantatjoses: l’increment de les hores de pràctiques tutelades en centres aplicats, tant en els estudis de Grau i com de Màster, així com la clara correspondència entre, d’una banda, els perfils professionals de la Psicologia i, per una altra, els quatre Màsters que s’ofereixen a Espanya, en són alguns exemples. El present article analitza, no només el curs de la reforma de la titulació de Psicologia en l’estat espanyol en relació als àmbits de pràctica professional, si no que també recull els que es contemplen en el marc universitari de la convergència europea, partint de la directrius de l’interessant projecte EuroPsy (European Diploma of Psychology).Finalment, es reflexiona sobre les àrees de pràctica professional envers les àrees d’especialització en Psicologia, així com de les òptimes perspectives de creixement que presenta la professió en un futur immediat
