Starting from the historical context of its emergence, we saw that the term emerged in Ancient Greece, the beginnings of psychology took place in philosophy, with very important figures contributing to its evolution.

His arrival in Brazil initially took place through medical schools, which focused on the study of physiology and neurology, which later led to questions that the problems of the body were related to the mind, in this way psychology was gaining more and more more space in academia. The practice itself consists of approaches, which must be chosen by professionals as soon as they finish college, it is essential to direct the way the professional will work.
