REIS, José de Arimatéia Rodrigues et al. Practice and insertion of psychologists in hospitals in Brazil: a literature review. Psicol. hosp. (São Paulo) [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.1, pp. 2-26. ISSN 2175-3547.

This text contains a critical literature revision on the psychologist clinical practice in Brazilian hospitals. We have mapped indexed articles in psychology, published in Portuguese in national and international journals between 2009 and 2013, authored by Brazilian psychologists. Sixteen (16) articles were identified and divided into three (03) categories. I) Reflections and critical-theoretical studies. II) Research with psychologists. III) Stories of experience and / or systematization of hospital practice. The results show a promising field of work for the psychologist not seen in other countries in continuous evolution, by the quality of the publications. When addressing the topics in health psychology in hospitals arise the professional renovation in progress, with more dynamic models joining on the traditional care in hospital bed, the needs for adjustments in undergraduate academic education, and the exigency for systematization of psychological practices geared toward of integral health attention and the care humanization.

Keywords : Health Psychology; Professional Practice; Literature Review.
