Abstract The psychological consultation-liaison is one of the most frequent activities performed by a hospital psychologist. Several studies recognized its importance in supporting the relationship between the healthcare team and patients, relatives and among professionals. This study aimed to identify the methodological and technical aspects of the psychological consultation-liaison service in a university hospital considering the professionals lived experiences. Four psychologists were interviewed in this study, two interns and two professionals. The interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed and analyzed according to Bardin’s content analysis method. The results indicated the importance of psychological consultation-liaison as an interdisciplinary activity but it occurs without any systematization hindering the evaluation of its effects and replicability. It was concluded for the need of standardized procedures, attention to protocols of intervention and new studies on this subject.
