This paper proposes a link between the conception of contemporary clinical Psychology and its unfolding within the services of psychological duty. It presents a brief history of clinical psychology since the early days of psychological assessment, through the clinical classical understanding as psychotherapeutic treatment, to define the current concept of amplified clinic and its paradigm of health promotion. In comparison between the pathogenic and salutogenic dimensions, it emphasizes the humanistic vision, particularly the one held by the Person-Centered Approach, which is powerful to deal with human suffering in its different shades of intensity and depth. The author presents the major understandings of psychological duty: as reception, assessment and as a process of emergency psychological care. The article points out the potential of dialogue as a restorer of health and citizenship updater. This proposal appears to be relevant to welcome a significant portion of the Brazilian population in different contexts.
