    Se realiza una visión crítica de la Psicología de la Salud para plantear el desarrollo de nuevos planes de integración. La Psicología de la Salud superó la fase de crecimiento en la que pudo estancarse, perdiendo sentido y proyección social. En la fase de profesionalización se produjo la dispersión y proliferación de enfoques que se cerró más por razones exter-nas que por la reflexión interna del campo. Hoy la cuestión central es inte-grar las políticas sanitarias de la mayoría de los países por medio de actua-ciones colectivas y globales. Estas actuaciones intentan poner orden y ho-mogeneizar los servicios sanitarios. Los nuevos profesionales de la psicolo-gía de la salud tendrán que alejarse de la tradición académica y científica tradicional y acercarse a las realidades sanitarias de cada momento y los pla-nes internacionales exigidos por la globalización

    This paper addresses the development of new plans of integra-tion, with the aim of undertaking a critical review of the present status of health psychology. We emphasize that health psychology has overcome its growing stage when the risk of stagnation and a consequent loss of rele-vance and social projection existed. During its period of professionalization there was a spreading and proliferation of approaches due more to external reasons than to reflection within the field. Today the central issue, in many countries relates to the integration of health policies through collective and global actions. Health psychology professionals should move away from the traditional academic and scientific traditions and be closer to the cur-rent health realities and to the international plans that globalization de-mands
