Resumen
POZZO, María Isabel; ROSSO, Florencia; MARINA, Sílvia y RICOU, Miguel. The Identity of Psychology in Argentina. Rev. psicodebate: psicol. cult. soc. [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.2, pp.32-46. Epub 01-Dic-2022. ISSN 2451-6600. http://dx.doi.org/10.18682/pd.v22i2.4996.
This paper explores the Argentinean psychologists' perceptions about the objective and exclusive tasks of psychological intervention. In addition, those activities that can be shared with other professionals who are not psychologists are also investigated. This analysis aims to reveal whether psychologists share a clear position on this issue. The development of their field as a profession demands an introspective attitude towards current psychological practice. This will enable to establish precise guidelines and sustain the psychology professional identity. The research is based on the importance of building a strong identity that promotes the general public's trust in psychologists. To this end, a questionnaire with three open-ended questions was used, followed by a thematic categorical content analysis. The results show inconsistencies in the psychologists' answers to the three questions under study. In the end, the lack of consensus in defining an exclusive objective for psychological intervention is concluded.
