The main objective of this work is to analyze the context of interpersonal communication in the healthcare professional-sick professional relationship from the field of Psychological Intervention. It seems essential to incorporate into the clinical-care areas the necessary training in Techniques and Protocols on how to inform and communicate with patients in everyday clinical situations, and in particular in the transmission of bad news in general health issues, and specifically in Hospital Services such as the Emergency and Oncology. The training in Counseling techniques is vital for these professionals who will have to alleviate and strengthen the psychological and interpersonal reactions that take place in the health-sick relationship, hence the need for training in university contexts so that future professionals have the ability to enhance communication skills that produce greater personal and social well-being, increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the Health System

Keywords : psychological intervention; healthcare professional-sick communication; bad news communication; Counseling.
