Abstract

Currently, the professional training of psychologists is a highly relevant issue, especially in the Latin American context. Since the 1990s, a process of accreditation of university degrees and the licensing of universities in the region began (Di Doménico and Risueño in Integración Académica en Psicología, 1(2), 24–28, 2013). In this sense, university reform in Europe was inspired by the “Humboldtian” model, which prioritized scientific work and favored the creation of experimental research laboratories (Fierro in Formación de pre grado en psicología en Argentina. Periodo 2009–2015. Universidad Nacional de San Luis, 2019), which had an impact on the institutional development of psychology.
