Abstract

Applying the clinical method based on the diagnosis is not exclusive to medical practice, every health professional, including psychology specialists, uses it in care work to establish the diagnosis-therapeutic relationship; but this method is complemented by the epidemiological one. Both are combined to optimize practice and medical  teaching, with benefits in training. It is the objective of the authors to highlight the essence of teaching them in an integrated way in which the patient is valued as a biopsychosocial being.
