Hospitals are considered the most appropriate site for the development of scientific medicine. Medicine is a conquering science, yet it always collides with death. Psychologists are third parties in the medical institution; what is their place and role in the hospital? We suggest that psychologists may reintroduce the subjective dimension of patients into the caring process, particularly when the patient is not just asking to be treated, but rather to be recognized as a suffering, still-living subject. Psychologists may help to talk about the loss of certainties, separation, and fear of death. Above all, they listen to the patient’s words wherever they may emerge.
