Abstract
ESTRADA, Juan Carlos Jaramillo and CASILIMAS, Carlos Arturo Sandoval. Reflections on the Relevance of the Training and Research Processes in Clinical Psychology in the Contemporary World. CES Psicol [online]. 2020, vol.13, n.3, pp.15-32. Epub Aug 18, 2021. ISSN 2011-3080. https://doi.org/10.21615/cesp.13.3.2.
The cultural change associated with contemporaneity has brought with it the weakness of the disciplinary institutions and the decline of the great meta-narratives and absolute values as guides for the subjects. Concomitantly, the reference frameworks in which clinical psychology has supported the reading and intervention of mental health problems are questioned in their validity and convenience to respond to these issues. This situation confronts clinical psychology regarding the relevance of its training and research processes to understand and intervene the mental health problems in the contemporary context.
Objective:

Results:
the processes of training in clinical psychology in the US, Europe, Latin America and Colombia in the contemporary world follow Boulder model of and its variants of Vail and Clinical Science, preserving the realistic ontological premises and their dependence on the clinical medical method. Consequently, the research processes is focused on psychopathology and psychotherapy, leaving behind reflections related to contemporaneity, subjectivities and problems emerging from it. In conclusion, in order to increase its relevance, it is proposed to include reflections on contemporaneity and its emerging subjectivities in training and research processes in clinical psychology.
