Based on a survey of professional psychologists conducted in Italy in 2023, this pa-per focuses on and discusses key findings that illustrate the journey of professionalisa-tion within health psychology. Analysis of the data reveals: 1. Although health is a central theme for most professional psychologists (80%), it is mainly seen as a thematic reference rather than a practical one. In other words, it shapes how the profession is perceived but not necessarily how it is practised. 2. A professional design for health psychology needs to take into account the diverse operational contexts in which the discipline operates. 3. The professionalisation of health psychology also needs to adapt to changes in profes-sional contexts, including shifts in the public welfare sector (→implosion) and growth in the private sector (→growth). The implications for the future scenario are discussed in relation to the professionali-sation project of the discipline, as well as its paradigmatic development and training pro-vision.
