Abstract
This text is a characterization of the Psychology Postgraduate System in Brazil, presenting indicators of its growth in recent years, of its current geographical distribution, of its research lines, and of the grades awarded in the last Triennial evaluation of 2013. This characterization underlies a set of reflections regarding the challenges for the area from the guidelines established by the National Postgraduate System Plan (PNPG) 2011-2020. These challenges include: internationalization, interdisciplinarity, the link with basic education, the reduction of regional disparities, and the differentiation between academic and professional qualification. The text also focuses on the continuous and necessary improvements in the evaluation process conducted by the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES). These reflections seek to provide a basis for the management of the Psychology Postgraduate System in Brazil in the coming years.

This text is a characterization of the Psychology Postgraduate System in Brazil, presenting indicators of its growth in recent years, of its current geographical distribution, of its research lines, and of the grades awarded in the last Triennial evaluation of 2013
The expectation for the development of the Brazilian postgraduate system so that it can actively participate in the project to lead Brazil, within this present decade, to become the fifth economy of the world is clearly included in the VI Programa Nacional de Pós-Graduação (PNPG)
Summary
This profile of regional distribution is maintained when considering the courses, highlighting the fact that the concentration of doctoral courses in the Southeast increases to 54%. In the Northeast, we have master’s courses in the states of Maranhão, Alagoas, and Sergipe Another interesting aspect is the decentralization of the postgraduate system, which started hesitantly beyond the major urban centers of the state of São Paulo. In the set of programs of the area there are 236 active lines of research These lines were categorized into 13 sub-areas, based on further description of the research line content. Three sub-areas concentrate 42.6% of the lines of research: Social Psychology, Clinical Psychology, and Basic Psychological Processes.
