Abstract

This paper derives from a conference that examined two concepts of health and some of its implications for research and the work of teams of professionals. As an example, it presents original data indicative of the fact that Health Psychology is an area of research that presents good indicators of development with the published studies, such as title, authorship, volume of publications in journals. Internationally, no significant
differences between studies on health and disease were present in a sample of 300 papers published in journals, books and dissertations. In Brazil, the disease does tend to be the focus of studies. Considerations are also presented concerning the development of the area and about the professional training enabling the psychologist to work in the health area.
