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,
