The professionalization process of an occupational group has a subjective side character-ized by the construction of professional identity. It influences the psychologist’s professional action and develops in working relationships, but can be facilitated by well-designed pre-professional socialization experiences of a dialogic and critical nature.

Keywords: professional identity, professionalization, socialization.
