In positive psychology, we must challenge a common error of professional psychology, today: making diagnostic, treatment, and policy decisions primarily on deficiencies of the person instead of giving serious consideration to “deficits” and “strengths” of both person and environment. This mission may seem disheartening in that it requires greater rather than less cognitive complexity. Yet this multifaceted focus is crucial if two system concepts—whole person and behavior as a function of person in interaction with environment—are to betaken seriously (Lewin, 1935 ). Practice and research that fall short of attending to this person-environment interaction does a disservice to remedial possibilities and personal integrity. We have divided this chapter into two parts. In the first part, we present enlightening concepts together with supporting research. In the second part, we apply the insights gained to professional practice and research and make specific recommendations regarding each of the issues raised.

Chapter 3 discusses the ethical principles and issues involved in the professional practice of counseling psychology. It is important to note that the specialty adheres to the principles and ethical code of conduct of the American Psychological Association, which apply to all aspects of professional practice in professional psychology, and that, thus, there are no specialty-specific principles or a code of ethical conduct specific to counseling psychology. It also presents the most salient and frequently emerging standards of practice as well as the management of risk in counseling psychology practice, along with sample foundational and functional competencies in the knowledge and application of ethics in psychology with some examples of how these principles are used in the profession.

ResumenLas prácticas profesionales de la Universidad Piloto de Colombia se conciben como una estrategia pedagógica que aproxima a los estudiantes de Psicología a escenarios reales de intervención organizacional, articulando aspectos teóricos, metodológicos y conceptuales en el día a día de una empresa o institución. En ese sentido, la intervención organizacional adelantada por los practicantes debe sustentarse en un espacio de aprendizaje denominado Proyecto integrador el cual permite desarrollar competencias en las dimensiones del saber, el ser y el hacer. Este documento presenta un panorama de ejercicios académicos abordados por estudiantes de décimo nivel y que son más usuales en el área organizacional fortaleciendo la línea tradicional de la psicología organizacional.Por ende, este artículo se propone plantear una reflexión al respecto de los roles y las funciones que desempeñan los practicantes del área de Gestión Humana (Programa de Psicología, U.P.C.) dentro de las organizaciones en las cuales adelantan su labor. De una manera descriptiva se identifican las áreas tradicionales de trabajo en las que el estudiante de último semestre se desenvuelve durante su periodo de práctica, no obstante, al mismo tiempo se señalan otras posibilidades de intervención que pueden realizar en las organizaciones.Palabras clave: Psicología organizacional, práctica profesional, gestión humana, intervención, espacios de aprendizaje.Abstract The professional practices of the Universidad Piloto de Colombia are conceived as a pedagogical strategy that brings students of Psychology closer to real scenarios of organizational intervention, articulating theoretical, methodological and conceptual aspects in the daily life of a company or institution. In this sense, the organizational intervention advanced by the practitioners must be based on a learning space called Project Integrator which allows developing competencies in the dimensions of knowledge, being and doing. This paper presents a panorama of academic exercises addressed by tenth-level students which are more usual in the organizational area by strengthening the traditional lines of organizational psychology.Therefore, this article proposes to reflect on the roles and functions of practitioners in the area of Human Management (Psychology Program, U.P.C.) within the organizations in which they advance their work. In a descriptive way, the traditional areas of work are identified in which the student of last semester develops during his period of practice, however, at the same time other possibilities of intervention that can be realized in the organizations are indicated.Keywords: professional practice, intervention, human management, learning, organizational

Intense debate on training models used in professional psychology education, including discussion on the specific training models most appropriate for educating future psychologists is far from finished. The authors reviewed articles discussing training models including results of empirical studies in professional psychology programs, which were published in several psychology journals databases (1949 to 2014). The authors have identified (a) the scientist-practitioner; (b) the practitioner model and its derivatives; (c) the clinical-scientist; and (d) the competency-based models. This article also outlines the historical development of each model and a consideration of the main principles espoused by each training model. It seems that discussion on the concept of training models and empirical studies on how these models are used in professional psychology programs outside the context of Western countries, is rare. Thus, this review could serve as a theoretical foundation for the implementation of a study aimed at filling the gap in the discussion of professional psychology program curricula, including the training models used, especially in other contexts than the Western.
