Abstract
Brazilian psychology has revealed an increasing trend in its growth. In 2013, a study conducted by the Federal Council showed that Brazil has more than 250 000 licensed practitioners, revealing 1.24 psychologist per 1 000 inhabitants. However, data are lacking in the literature regarding the information about the financial profile of the Brazilian psychologist, which is the aim of this study. With that being said, this research is an exploratory, non-probabilistic, survey-type study conducted in 2015, involving 437 psychologists all over Brazil. The study concluded that economically active psychologists are mostly young women, who have a monthly income of R$ 2 000 on average and work mostly in the clinic. This research provides new data on the professional profile of the Brazilian psychologist.
