The data collection was done through the writing disclosures of the students soon after a sequence of three meetings were realized with the purpose of introducing a diversity of themes to the participating students. The themes were previously determined by the researcher to function as a triggering subject. The meetings were successively carried out during the month of November, 2001 lasting approximately one and a half hours each, so that the themes could be truly discussed. The chosen themes were based not only on the relationship provided by the close contact between the supervisor and the students of the practicum clinical experience course, but also the empathic comprehension among the involved parts, in addition to and specially for the identification that the supervisor had with a crises moment that the course was going through. This situation demanded that the students articulated their experiences in relation to the graduation process in the clinical psychology arena, providing than a great opportunity to help in the process of improving the status of the course through the achievement of a renewed comprehension of its processes. In order to do this, three meetings were carried out with each one of the three-practicum experience classes under the supervision of the researcher (and clinical supervisor). All of the students of each class (approximately 15 students) agreed on participating in the study, adding to a total of forty-five students and fifteen hundred of collected disclosures. The process was done in the University setting in which the students mastered their undergraduate degree in Psychology. The fifth year students were selected to participate in this study because it was assumed that they should be in a more appropriate position to evaluate the context of the subject of study, since they already had throughoutly experienced the academic process in the psychology arena. The data was collected immediately after the end of each meeting through the disclosures of the students so that it could reflect the sense of the students experiences. The data analyzes was based on the qualitative exploration of the phenomenological orientation. The results indicated that there are meaningful themes present in the clinical formation process of the students pursuing the under-graduation degree in Psychology. Despite the fact that the students do severely criticize the graduating school, they also feel glad and trust the experience provided to them. They experienced moments of anxiety and tension during the starting period of clinical work due to the difficulty that they had in linking theory to practice. They also had difficulty to deal with the clinical system of the University, which functions as an institution that rather privilege the academic scheme instead of the professional formation of the students in order to prepare them to a competitive and demanding job-market. It was observed that during a demanding period such as the fifth year of the psychology course, the students need a structure that supports them, so they can feel accepted and better able to compensate their insecurity and anxiety. Such situations were experienced during some therapeutic circumstances that were reflected during the supervisions, due to the supervisor s capacity to form alliances with the students. In addition, there were a great number of disclosures emphasizing situations of empathy and acceptance of the students in relation to their clients worlds. However, there were also expressions of concern around the incomprehension felt by many students playing the role of a beginner therapist in relation to their clients backgrounds. This resulted in an internal conflict between their world-view and own personal experiences, and their clients . The most valuable experiences granted during the graduation process were the possibility given to the students to participate in group supervisions where they had the opportunity to exchange their own personal and academic experiences with other students and the supervisor. Finally, the mostly significant experience seems to have been the possibility of acting as a clinical psychologist for the first time. / O objetivo deste trabalho foi o de investigar a viv?ncia de forma??o cl?nica de graduandos e supervisora, de ?ltima s?rie de um curso de gradua??o. Como porta de acesso, optouse pela coleta de depoimentos escritos, logo ap?s tr?s reuni?es, cujas tem?ticas foram previamente pensadas pela pesquisadora e apresentadas ao grupo como quest?es disparadoras. As reuni?es foram consecutivas e visaram o aprofundamento do tema enfocado.Ocorreram durante o m?s de novembro de 2001, tendo a dura??o de aproximadamente uma hora e trinta minutos cada. Os temas escolhidos nasceram da conviv?ncia estreita com estagi?rios, da compreens?o emp?tica entre supervisora e supervisionando, mas, principalmente, pela identifica??o do momento de crise, no qual se inseria o curso e da necessidade dos alunos expressarem suas viv?ncias, podendo colaborar para a melhoria futura do curso, a partir de uma compreens?o renovada do mesmo. Realizaram-se ent?o, tr?s reuni?es com cada um dos tr?s grupos envolvidos, por ser este o n?mero de classes sob a responsabilidade da supervisora-pesquisadora e todos os alunos decidiram-se por participar. Cada turma tinha aproximadamente quinze alunos, num total de quarenta e cinco participantes e cento e quinze depoimentos coletados. Os encontros foram realizados nas depend?ncias da Universidade, onde os alunos conclu?am a gradua??o em Psicologia. Optou-se por alunos quintanistas por considerar-se que os mesmos, ao estarem concluindo a gradua??o, teriam condi??es de avaliar o contexto pesquisado com maior abrang?ncia, por j? terem vivido na totalidade as experi?ncias acad?micas na ?rea cl?nica. Os dados coletados atrav?s de depoimentos escritos imediatamente ap?s o t?rmino das reuni?es, por supervisionandos e supervisora, possibilitaram a apreens?o do sentido das viv?ncias, analisadas segundo pressupostos da pesquisa qualitativa explorat?ria de orienta??o fenomenol?gica. Os resultados apontaram que existem grandes temas perpassando a forma??o cl?nica dos alunos de um curso de gradua??o em Psicologia. Do mesmo modo que tecem severas cr?ticas ? agencia formadora, sentem-se gratificados e confiantes na experi?ncia que tiveram. Viveram momentos de angustia e apreens?o, ao iniciarem os seus atendimentos cl?nicos, pela dificuldade em articular ci?ncia e pr?tica. Tiveram dificuldade tamb?m em lidar com a Cl?nica-Escola enquanto Institui??o, por entenderem-na arbitr?ria, funcionando em um esquema que mais privilegia a vida acad?mica do que a pr?profissionalizac?o do aluno para um mercado de trabalho competitivo e exigente. Percebeu-se que em um ano t?o exigente, como ? o ?ltimo ano da gradua??o, o aluno precisa de estruturas institucionais que o ap?iem, por tratar-se justamente de uma Cl?nica-Escola, para que possam sentir-se um pouco mais amparados e assim compensar sua inseguran?a e ansiedade. Facilidades vividas foram apontadas em rela??o ao manejo de algumas situa??es terap?uticas, decorr?ncia direta das supervis?es. A grande habilidade sentida foi com a capacidade para forma??o de v?nculos. Foram freq?entes os relatos de situa??es de empatia e aceita??o em rela??o ao mundo do cliente, embora tamb?m tenham sido expressas dificuldades decorrentes de uma incompreens?o do referencial subjetivo de clientes, levando o terapeuta iniciante a um confronto entre o seu referencial individual e o do cliente. Os grandes momentos vividos ao longo da gradua??o localizam-se na possibilidade de participa??o em grupos de supervis?o envolvendo trocas de experi?ncias e compartilhamento de aspectos de vida pessoal e acad?mica com os parceiros de grupo e supervisor. A experi?ncia mais significativa parece ter ocorrido diante da possibilidade de atua??o como psic?logos cl?nicos.
