Abstract

espanolResulta apropiado senalar la existencia de una tradicion espanola en la aplicacion de los conocimientos psicologicos a la prevencion de conductas que entranan riesgo desde la decada de los anos 1920. Los protagonistas de la historia fueron, primero, los psicotecnicos en Centros publicos, y luego los psicologos en Centros privados, la seleccion ha sido el hilo conector de lo que ha dado en llamarse el Modelo Espanol de Evaluacion Preventiva. El desarrollo del modelo coincide en una gran parte con el boom de la Ciencia Psicologica espanola. La actual regulacion de la acreditacion de la aptitud psicofisica necesaria para tener y usar armas y para prestar servicios de seguridad privada obliga a todos los candidatos a acudir a Centros Privados homologados para ser sometidos a una exploracion psicologica y fisica.. Se describe el fundamento del modelo, sus principales caracteristicas y dimensiones, asi como una descripcion de los instrumentos homologados para llevar a termino la evaluacion. EnglishEver since the 1920s, Spain has traditionally applied psychological knowledge to the prevention of risk conducts. In fact, one of its dimensions � professional driver selection- defined the first legally regulated professional role of psychological intervention in Spain, which became a formal practice before an actual epistemic discipline even existed in the psychological scene. The story first featured psycho-technicians in public centres and then psychologists working in the private sector, selection being the connection all along in the so-called �Spanish Model� of Preventive Assessment. To a great extent, the development of the model coincides with the boom of Psychological Science in Spain. Current regulations on psycho-physical condition accreditation for firearm possession and use or for private security guards oblige all candidates to go to approved Private Centres for their psychological and physical check-up. The paper describes the basics of the model, its main features and dimensions, as well as the instruments accredited for assessment.
