| description | The training route in clinical psychology is the subject of much debate in the academic and professional world of Spanish
psychology. This article critically analyzes the arguments of both the supporters and the opponents of the master’s degree in
general health psychology as a necessary condition for access to specialized training. A bachelor’s degree - master’s - specialty
route for training in clinical psychology is clearly defended, for logical, legal, and professional reasons, and for convergence
with the Europsy model, and the opportunity to establish strong ties between the universities and the profession. It is concluded
that the adoption of the route will not only strengthen the specialty and general health psychology, but it may also be one of the
foundations on which the scientific and professional development of clinical psychology in Spain rests. |
