Abstract

This article discusses the impact of experience of clinical assistance in formation of the psychologists from the discipline Diagnosis and Interventions, which consists of clinical care of psychodiagnostic, made on the Service School of proved an institution of higher education. The study highlights the psychological clinic listening as a fundamental tool for the office of the psychologist. Its goal is to describe the relationship that students – former students of the discipline and also of the course – make between the developed practice and formation of psychologists. This is a qualitative descriptive study conducted with 10 former students of the institution formed between 2008 and 2010. It was applied, throughout 2011, a semi-structured questionnaire submitted to a later content analysis. We conclude that the clinical listening crafted in a psychodiagnostic process is of fundamental importance to the formation of the psychologist, in any field, not necessarily in the office, because through it one understands the subject and its question. It is necessary, therefore, to the psychologist, to occupy a specific place that allows him/her to listen to the subjectivity involved in the different experiences of the subject, as a possibility to make a difference in the various work areas.
