Abstract
The last decade has been characterized by the emergence of several initiatives in high education institutions for the development of better formative professional programs. In this sense, there are numerous experiences of modification and adjustment of the professional curricula in Psychology. Despite of the improvements achieved, the problems persist which impedes to reach the pretended goals. In this paper some of those problems are reviewed and are considered as mistakes that must be corrected to achieve an effective educational development of professionals. For instance, the erroneous interpretations concerning the motivations to choose a career, the confusions about the profession, and the handicaps of the formative lineal models should be reviewed. Finally, the notion of practitioner- scientist, the central role of teacherprofessional, and the need of developing interactive models for a competent and competitive exercise are supported.
