The construction of the Master's course counted on the arrival of prestigious professors, recognized both in Brazil and abroad, who contributed to the training of the first masters in Clinical Psychology at the University and in the region. From the end of the 70s to the beginning of the 90s, 125 masters in Clinical Psychology were trained and the program's faculty comprised fifteen researchers. From 1990, due to a growing demand, a new area of โโconcentration in the master's degree - school psychology was created.
