SOUZA, Kátia Ovídia José de    PEGORARO, Renata F.. Ransom of the caregiver-patient relationship in different times and historical contexts with current reflections of Health Psychology and Analytical Psychology. []. , 30, 1, pp.68-89. ISSN 1415-711X.

With the understanding that patient care is not restricted to the medical activity, but also envolving other the medical health professionals such as dentist, nurse, psychologist, nutritionist, social worker and therapist in units of health care, the article proposes a reflection on how the social and political context of an era can influence the way of relationship of health professionals with their patients. This is because of the Zeitgeist, the understanding of those times, with its philosophical and cultural thoughts, who structured the concepts of health and disease. Through a theoretical historical review we study models of the relationship between the health professional and the patient. The construction of a former practice of health care until the present date is subject to a historical influence, and as the second objective of the article: a brief presentation on how to look at health care in the Analytical Psychology of C. G. Jung. This author considered the social and cultural aspects, bothly the actual and former ones, in search of understanding the individual in the biological, psychological, social and transdisciplinary aspects. The Jungian perspective emphasizes the attention of health professionals with the phenomena of transference and countertransference, and the analysis of education can assist in this process. Full attention to the person favors the therapeutic relationship, which helps in the health caring.
