COSTA, Maico Fernando  and  RODRIGUES, Jeferson. Preliminary foundations for the practice of hospital psychosocial psychology. Rev. SBPH [online]. 2025, vol.28, e024.  Epub Sep 22, 2025. ISSN 1516-0858.  https://doi.org/10.57167/rev-sbph.2025.v28.743.

Our commitment with this article, in its essay format, is to deal with a perspective of Hospital Psychology associated with the concept of “Psychosocial”. We have the hypothesis that the psychosocial stance of listening to the subjects of suffering in hospital urgencies and emergencies produces, as an effect, not only a subjective implication, but also a socio-cultural implication. The aim of this theoretical-clinical essay was to lay the preliminary foundations for the praxis of hospital psychology guided by the ethics of psychosocial care. To this end, in view of the lack of scientific research on the subject of “Hospital Psychology and Psychosocial Care”, we carried out a survey of bibliographic literature that is congruent with the principles of the Unified Health System, Humanization and Abílio da Costa-Rosa’s theoretical contributions on Psychosocial Care. The theoretical and scientific investigations were combined with clinical case studies, as a way of presenting some possibilities for the materialization of “Hospital Psychosocial Psychology”. Finally, we trust the hospital psychosocial psychologist as an articulator of social contract networks, in the desire to enable exchanges between peers, socio-cultural, affective-relational and subjective exchanges. She is a transdisciplinary worker who works on site, seeking to create the conditions for subjects to benefit from the effects of their speech.
