Abstract

As a result of the last changes related to the concept of health, psychological contribution has been taken into account in prevention and treatment of diseases. For this reason, Clinical and Health psychology is being developed as a discipline that joins these two separate fields: Clinical Psychology and Health Psychology. From this perspective, this paper presents a general overview of this area, through aspects such as, its historical development, functions, level of intervention, and areas of application; in order to contribute to the inquiry, delimitation, projection and consolidation of this field.
