Sumario:There is a brief reference to our health system and intermediate organizations as an introduction for the analysis of a psychologist’s labour market. This one cannot be only measured or evaluated from the economic point of view. Although health care union organizations and prepaid ones are diminishing the number of psychology sessions and services, we cannot reduce either training or labour area to clinical practice. There are psychologists who are actually working in institutions without being included in the payroll, and even newly graduates work for free. There have been several explanations for these unusual situations: “you will have enough time to get a promotion”, “or to be included in the payroll” or “just consider this as a training period”.In the interviews to professors they said marketing has been made at the university, using a theory to get a market (Jaime López) to which some extracurricular activities have been added, making the Institution look like a billboard, and on the other hand, because of the kind of knowledge transmitted at the School (Jorge Hernandez), it causes uneasiness in students as regards an Analysis Theory teacher. And at the same time, professors themselves, though this would not have been his intention, can think part of the work in classrooms can lead to potential patients. Iris Valles says that “the University will never cease to be a window to the labour market. But if it develops exclusively that aspect, it will become something wicked.”
