Abstract

At the end of the twentieth century and during the first decade of the twenty first century psychology in the Puerto Rico‘s Academy underwent major transformations. Which caused continual processes of construction and deconstruction of identity. This in order to adapt the new challenges to the services that are offered to mental health patients. This article first discusses what the University is. Secondly, it defines what mental health is and includes some statistics about this condition in Puerto Rico. Then, as the third aspect, highlights the fact that not only the student must get educated, but the teacher also needs to go through a continuous process of learning. Finally, we propose some general recommendations for the design of a curricular sequence adapted to our times.
