Iatrogenesis is the damage caused by the health professional to patients, families or other people, in non intentional way, that can cause either a slight emotional distress or death. Keeping this in mind an exhaustive literature review on the topic was carried out that compiles up-to-date aspects: concept, differences between this and the bad medical practice, iatrogenesis modalities (mainly the psychological type) and recommendations to avoid it, aimed at contributing to a better performance of health professionals and elevating the population life quality.

Palavras-chave : iatrogenesis; psychological iatrogenesis; bad practice.
