Internship in school psychology and art: contributions to the professional formation of the psychologist

This paper describes the experience acquired during a school psychology internship in the psychology course in the Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU). The internship, based on the culturalhistorical psychology, was linked to the organization and development of a course titled Psychology: Science and Profession, which is oriented towards freshmen students. The program of this course meets the need to develop a socially involved and critical vision of psychology, which allows the creation of a space of possibilities to think about this science and profession more broadly. The activities developed in the meetings sought to engage reflections about the University, about psychology as a science and profession and about the academic life. To serve as base for discussion, Art (cinema, painting, theatre, literature, music) was used as a theme for ownership and construction of self knowledge. We describe the results of the internship and its impact on the personal and professional education of future psychologists, highlighting the contributions triggered by the contact with Art.
