Summary/Abstract: Teaching Psychopathology and Psychiatry to students undergoing a Psychology Degree is a difficult task, especially when it comes to emerging young people, the average age being around 20 years-old (the course being addressed to students in their second year of study). Consequently, the approach should be maieutic, combining knowledge of teaching with training, developing and shaping personality traits necessary for the development of psychologist / therapist professions. Therefore, this paper is intended to be a broad perspective on the possible ways of exposure (starting from simple to complex) of the basic psychiatry knowledge, understandable to the future psychologists. Emphasis is placed on the analysis of countertransference, on the dynamics of a clinical group that was formed during psychiatry seminars, using the stress – diathesis balance scale model of thinking and also learning the necessity to analyze each case individually.
