This article has the purpose to analyze the health policies established by Health Ministry in our country.

It states, that the medical model is still ruling although it was vilify. This analysis, applies, on the way, to the self named Health Psychology just as the Mental Health notion, taking as reference specialty information, science’s contests researches and some administrative dossiers. It concludes that is required to redefine the Health Psychology as a Men science.
