Abstract:
The technological advance in medicine was accompanied paradoxically of a lack of consideration toward the human being subjective dimension. This resulted in the appearance of new and unexpected inconveniences, caused by the patient's attitudes that cannot be understood neither solved by the specialist doctors, hindering the application of important achieved advantages. This development is particularly remarkable in the most spectacular innovations (transplantation and reimplantation of organs, protesis, electronic ortesis, hormonal substitutions, chemotherapy, etc.) that can mean the difference between life and death. There are human and subjective motivations behind all these problems that have not been kept in mind although constitute the specific sphere of work and investigation of the medical-psychological interconsultation.
