Clinical Interventions at Institutions and Clinical Psychology Practices: Foundations Procedures and Interlocutions
The research I carry out focuses on the work of Psychologists at health institutions. Such research has taken place specifically (but not exclusively) at the Durval Marcondes School-Clinic located on the Department of Psychology at the Psychology Institute – USP. It aims at providing not only services to the community but also a center for training, qualification and research. Our investigations encompass evaluation instruments – particularly the Human Figure Drawing and the Thematic Apperception Test – and the styles of clinical psychology practices adapted to our reality.

Exchanges between researchers who are interested in multicultural studies have propelled this research towards a new direction. In order to manage the data a and information gathered from the research at the Psychology Clinic, information technology resources have been developed, for instance a software named PsicoUsp, which is currently implemented at the Clinic.
