Perspetiva crítica de um grupo de psicólogos quanto à formação intensiva em touchpoints e sua aplicabilidade em contexto profissional

Abstract

This exploratory study aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the experiences and perspectives of psychology professionals who attended the Touchpoints Intensive Course (CIT) in Portugal, online, considering the evaluation of the training, the practical application of the model and the need for updating. Using a qualitative methodology, interviews were conducted with six psychologists who attended the training, based on a script developed by the research group. The data was analyzed using NVivo 14 software. The results show an overall positive evaluation of the CIT, highlighting the importance of reflective practices. Difficulties were also identified in the practical application of the model, particularly due to the lack of supervision and training after the course. This research stands out for being a pioneer in Portugal in the study of psychologists' perspectives on CIT, contributing to greater knowledge about the impacts of training and to reflect on future needs for support and continuing education.
