Abstract
Argentina has an important tradition in psychology and although university careers began in the mid 50’s, the process of voluntary evaluation and accreditation, was initiated after the approval of the standards in 2009. In this article different aspects of this process both for the undergraduate and graduate careers are presented and analyzed. Relevant aspects of professional practice are also outlined. Current legal regulations of the professional practice of clinical psychology are reviewed. This is the first area having official recognition as a specialty awarded by the National Ministry of Health.
