The Graduate Program in Psychology at PUC-Campinas was created in the late seventies. It originated from a Specialization Course that, when consolidated, made it possible to create an Academic Master's Degree with an area of ​​concentration in clinical psychology. From the theoretical point of view, the two main approaches that were already present in the training of undergraduate students of the then Institute of Psychology - behavioral and psychoanalytic - were respected. 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 ​​concentration in the master's degree - school psychology was created. With the operation of this new area, several changes occurred, among them the restructuring of the physical space and the expansion of the teaching staff. The diversity of theoretical positions and the context conducive to scientific debate contributed to the necessary maturation of the Program, qualifying it for the submission to CAPES of the proposal for the Doctorate course that had the approval, support and institutional enthusiasm. The incentive had arisen from CAPES's own evaluators who considered that there was sufficient maturity to create the doctoral level in order to make the Program complete. In 1995, he started his doctorate in Psychology at PUC-Campinas,

Acupuncture has been recognized as a specialty in the health area since 1985, it is an integral part of the set of therapies classified since 2006 as “Complementary Integrative Practice” - PIC, but it has been part of the therapeutic arsenal at the three levels of health care for much longer. It consists of inserting needles in specific points of the body, associated with other forms of stimulation of these points (such as suction cups, heating, electrostimulation, low-power laser, etc.), and it has been practiced for millennia. The first historical findings of its use in the treatment of disease date back more than 4,000 years. From the 1960s on, acupuncture began to be understood in a scientific way in academic circles, through the theories of neuromodulation and immunological response to treatment.
