A transdisciplinary scenario for health: A new paradigm for psychology and psychologists?

A new transdisciplinary approach to health (TDH) based on the participatory involvement of multiple disciplines and multiple actors (scientific and lay) in the construction of answers to social questions of health is affirmed in the scientific field. After describing the phenomenon of TDH in its main features (historical, theoretical, methodological) open questions and perspectives that this approach presents are here focused on. Finally, the reasons for a participatory involvement of psychology and psychologists in the TDH approach are argued.
