The master's program is guided by a pedagogical orientation that contemplates two main axes: 1) Clinical Psychology as the locus of knowledge production, contemplating disciplines and activities that offer a theoretical-epistemological formation consistent in Clinical Psychology; 2) develop skills in research, covering the reflection and analysis of the main methods used in research and its applicability in research in Clinical Psychology. The curricular structure contemplates these two axes, supporting the reflection on the production of knowledge in Clinical Psychology and emphasizing the methodological domain in scientific research, as well as covering contents relevant to the scope of the Program's research lines, as well as teaching and improvement scientific writing.
