I agree with your client. I found this link that is pertinent to the current use of the term in Brazil, as broken as the English is: https://ehps.net/brazil/

: I'd say all types of psychology are health-related, aren't they? Psychology does not involve physical health Barbara :)

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.

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!

Note from asker:
| Obrigada Mario. Mas essa seria uma tradução mais apropriada para o termo Psicologia Clinica, que uma outra especialidade do cliente. |

: Why "of course not"?

Doesn't sound too good.

Barbara Cochran, MFA
: Probably a bit too specific, since "health psychology" can refer to various kinds of pyschology-related positions in a hospital setting.

Ok, this is what I would use. It sounds better to me.

: This is the term I have seen in UK hospital websites.
In the UK there is even a degree in clinical psychology.

Discussion
From UCLA:
"Although both clinical and health psychologists often examine mental health, the field of clinical psychology primarily focuses on diagnosing, understanding, and treating mental disorders, whereas health psychology examines the bidirectional relationship between mental and physical health" (emphasis added).
