This qualitative, exploratory and descriptive study investigated ethnic-racial training in Psychology courses at public universities in the State of Bahia, Brazil. It was therefore configured as a documentary study since it was developed from the analysis of 324 syllabuses of mandatory subjects, from 06 Psychology courses offered in Bahia. In this analysis, 14 syllabuses were identified that were subjected to processing in the Iramuteq software, which enabled the construction of the word cloud and similarity analysis. The results pointed that the Federal University of Southwest Bahia has the largest number of subjects with the discussion of race in the psychology course. In general, social psychology and mental health had a greater number of disciplines on racial issues, with an emphasis on the care process. It was evident that although some syllabuses enable the discussion of ethnic-racial themes in a decolonial way, using black authors as references, there are still curricula that strongly have a colonial ancestry in the production of knowledge, especially using only north american and european references. We identified that there are, currently, incipient disciplines that include ethnic-racial discussions that can contribute to combating discrimination and racism in psychology training.
