This paper discusses the introduction of the Psychologist in health care, specifically in a General Hospital, talking as a starting point some considerations on the workings of an interdiciplinary professional group, its resistances, competitiveness and collectivism; the peculiarities of the Brazilian National Health care and the social reality of its patients; and the standardized model of psychological care adopted in graduate teaching, which leads to an abstract and a-historical conception of the individual disjointed from its social, political and cultural context.
