Abstract

An examination of the quality of the preparation of psychologists to cope with the variables relating to the health phenomenon enables the identification of fundamental concepts that interfere in the way the psychologist carries out his or her work. To conceptualis health as a multi-determinate phenomenon, to clarify the object of the study of Psychology and of intervention by the psychologist are requirements that significantly alter his or her professional modus operandi characterised, in the majority of cases, through clinical activity, towards a broader scope of work in terms of objectives, the types of problems to be dealt with, procedures, the type of patients and services provided. To understand the variables that enable psychologists to work more effectively and teach ways of undertaking interventions of this nature is an important and urgent challenge for those that investigate Psychology as an area of knowledge and for those that train professionals to intervene in social problems.

Keywords:  professional training of psychologists, health care, work in health care organisations, teaching of Psychology.
