Mas a psicologia exercida nos hospitais É a psicologia clínica. A nomenclatura é muito mais comum e correta do que psicologia hospitalar. Além disso, não existe essa variante em inglês. Hospital psychology? Of course not!

Notes to answerer
Asker: Obrigada Mario. Mas essa seria uma tradução mais apropriada para o termo Psicologia Clinica, que uma outra especialidade do cliente.

neutral  philgoddard: Why "of course not"?
1 hr
  -> Doesn't sound too good.

neutral  Barbara Cochran, MFA: Probably a bit too specific, since "health psychology" can refer to various kinds of pyschology-related positions in a hospital setting.
12 hrs
  -> Ok, this is what I would use. It sounds better to me.

agree  Paul Dixon: This is the term I have seen in UK hospital websites. In the UK there is even a degree in clinical psychology. https://www.kcl.ac.uk/study-legacy/postgraduate/research-cou...

As Milena points out, it doesn't say "psicologia clínica".

neutral  Barbara Cochran, MFA: The current trend in Brazil is to move away from the term you have entered, in favor of the more specific term, "Health Psychology".
1 hr
  -> They speak Portuguese in Brazil, not English.

agree  Oliver Simões: I think this one is pretty straightforward. See my reference. Not to be confused with other kinds of psychology.

  -> Thanks, Ramon.

neutral  Mario Freitas: I'd say all types of psychology are health-related, aren't they? Psychology does not involve physical health Barbara :)
8 hrs
  -> No, not really. When one says something is "health-related" in English, they are usually referring to physical, not mental health. Anyway, I wouldn't say that psychoanalysis is health-related.

Hospital psychology jobs include clinical positions and outreach jobs where you consult with community mental health organizations and promote the services of the hospital. As a hospital psychologist, you work with other clinicians and practitioners to provide treatment options and rehabilitation to people after surgeries or traumatic diseases. You may also get referrals from physicians who believe that mental health counseling may benefit their patients. Your duties include leading group and individual counseling sessions, providing educational information to patients and the public, and performing administrative responsibilities in the hospital’s psychology department.
