This dissertation discusses the psychological process that brings a person during his life from the belief in (in the meaning given by Donald W. Winnicott to this term) to a true personal believing attitude along the years of formation to the priesthood in a Catholic Seminary. The dissertation sees this process in the context of a psychoterapic process under the supervision of a clinical psychologist who works together with the pedagogical staff of the seminary, but in a separated professional way. I go out from the hypothesis that a seminarian with a deficit of symbolization (Joyce Mc Dougall) is inclined to live this process in a normotic way. This hypothesis is tested in 5 clinical concrete cases. The passage from the believe in to an attitude of personal believing will depend from the way the future priest interiorizes his priestly vocation and is more or less able to represent it. The dissertation is divided in three main chapters. In the first chapter I present a general overview and contextualization of the history of the different pedagogical stiles adopted by the Catholic Church during the centuries, mainly from the Trient Council till our days. Special consideration is given to the changes brought by the Vatican II Council and to the cultural modern situation. In the second chapter, I try to consider the today´s circunstances of the priestly formation from a sociological perspective, taking as reference the concept of anomia from E. Durkheim. A second and more exact look is given to the question from the psychological viewpoint. My main reference here is W. D.Winnicott, but I consider also other psychologists. Finaly, in a third chapter, I try to make a more sistematic analitical reflection about the human process of maturation of seminarians who are submitted to a formal psychotherapy. In the conclusion I try to present some psychological indications to the increasing group of clinical psychologists who are giving their cooperation to the Church in the difficult task of bringing the students to a personal interiorization of the ideal presented to them by the Church as the ideal of a priestly life
