Research on academic experiences have been presented as a reply to the increase in dropout and career re-choice. Identifying the factors that foster as well as hinder the path of higher education may help psycho-educational and psychological interventions, as well as to prevent these issues. This research aimed to investigate the process of adaptation to the University by freshmen in the course of Psychology. For this, the contents of 18 logbooks produced by students in the first and second semesters of a Psychology course were analyzed. In these, we sought to identify indicators of adaptation and maladjustment to entering the University through writing students. The categorization process yielded 11themes consonant to previous research findings and new themes yet in need for further studies in this line of research. In the first group, they stood out issues such as peer groups and time management. In the second, items such as on-line classes and experiences alike, demanding specific skills from the students. Educational Psychology, in university contexts, can deal with these factors and help solve a problem that upsets many university students.

The current research aims to study the relations between psychology and inclusive education in Brazil in accordance with the journal Psicologia: Ciencia e Profissao.

Titles, summaries and keywords published in all the volumes of the journal were taken into consideration when selecting the articles which matched the area of interest of the research. The selected articles were analyzed according to the following categories: authorship, type of article, adopted references and thematic tendencies. The results showed that the articles are split almost equally between theoretical and practical, most of the authors are linked to public institutions and social psychology is the main chosen reference. One comes to the conclusion that along the history of the journal, although the number of articles on the relation between psychology and inclusive education throughout the history of the journal proves to be small, this number has become more expressive in the last years, and that in order to have a more realistic view of the subject it is required to search for other complementary sources.
