SUMMARY:

This doctoral thesis investigates the connection between the concept of human sustainability and higher education in Psychology, considering the need to move beyond predominantly technical-instrumental training approaches and to integrate, in an articulated manner, the political, social, economic, environmental, and cultural dimensions of human existence. The study is guided by the question of how human sustainability is manifested, or not, in the education of psychologists, in light of scientific production, normative frameworks, and curricular structures in force in Brazil. Methodologically, this is a qualitative study of an exploratory and descriptive nature, with a bibliographic and documentary design. The bibliographic corpus was established through an integrative literature review conducted in accordance with the PRISMA protocol, encompassing national and international publications from 1972 to 2025. The documentary corpus included the National Curriculum Guidelines for undergraduate Psychology programs, curricular matrices of programs awarded the highest academic performance rating (CPC 5), and international documents issued by UNESCO and the United Nations. Data analysis was carried out through Content Analysis and Documentary Analysis, enabling the identification of convergences, gaps, and formative trends. The results indicate that although scientific literature and normative documents address themes related to ethics, social responsibility, and human development, such discussions remain fragmented and do not constitute an explicit structuring axis in Psychology education. An absence of conceptual systematization of human sustainability was observed in the analyzed curricula, even in programs recognized for academic excellence. In this context, the concept of human sustainability, as systematized by Marcelo Pereira Marujo, emerges as an integrative theoretical framework capable of contributing to curricular redesign and strengthening Psychology’s ethical, social, and educational commitment. It is concluded that incorporating human sustainability into the education of psychologists represents an ethical, epistemological, and educational necessity in light of contemporary challenges affecting mental health, psychosocial well-being, and life in society.
