MOREIRA, Jacqueline de Oliveira; ROMAGNOLI, Roberta Carvalho  y  NEVES, Edwiges de Oliveira. The beginning of the psycological clinic: from the healing practice to the dispositives to promote health. Psicol. cienc. prof. [online]. 2007, vol.27, n.4, pp. 608-621. ISSN 1414-9893.

This article intends to work with the clinical psychological concept trying to define the psychologist field across a historical analysis of the beginning of this practice and a reflection about the model limits of clinic as an individual practice at the office, in opposite to a model of clinic called social, that supports new performances on the Psychology field in Brazil. First, we will look for the etymological, historical and reflexive origins of the term clinic. Then, we intend to reflect about the articulations between Psychology and the modern individualism and the limits of the clinic understood as a liberal and private practice. In the end, we will defend beyond the division between clinic and politics, in the tradicional model, a definition of social clinic as a political and ethical position of interventions engaged with the promotion of health and with the Brazilian social reality.

Palabras clave : Clinical Psychology; Individualism; Listening; Social clinic.
