Similaridades entre a psicoterapia centrada no cliente e o pensamento existencial de Soren Kierkegaard

Com o objetivo de contactar a existência de similaridades entre a terapia de Carl Rogers e o posicionamento existencial de Sören Kierkegaard, partiu-se do exame da obra do pensador dinamarquês, sua preocupação com o concreto, o singular, o homem como subjetividade, e os estágios - estético, ético e religioso - maneira como se processa sua existência. A seguir, após estudo do evoluir da teoria psicoterápica de Rogers, abrangendo as três fases, assinala-se a convergência de intuições e convicções que refletem perspectivas comuns aos dois pensadores. O próprio Rogers em artigo publicado em 1955 expressa seu agradecimento a Kierkegaard que, através de sua posição, levou-o a confiar e exprimir sua experiência. A análise da abordagem existenciaI da terapia rogeriana ressalta que, muito embora ele tenha nascido um século após Kierkegaard há várias pautas convergentes entre eles.

A postura existencial-humanista na prática da psicologia do trabalho: contradições e possibilidades

O homem está aí. No mundo. Mergulhado nele busca respirar melhor, se alimentar melhor, sentir melhor. Quer individual ou coletivamente o homem é ação. Influencia, mesmo que imóvel. E isso se observa tanto no cotidiano quanto em atitudes mais direcionadas. É a defesa ou não do verde ... a preocupação ou não com a reforma agrária ... a atenção ou não aos direitos humanos ... E a ciência? A ciência está aí produzida e propriedade do próprio homem. E por isso a sua transparência é desejável. Para permitir a escolha. Para ratificar a liberdade e o poder da consciência. Este trabalho visa essa transparência. É com carinho que se abraça uma matéria tão fundamental para a existência humana quanto a sua atividade produtiva e as incursões filosóficas e científicas que se faz nela. Testemunha disso são as críticas que se realiza e as perspectivas que se apresenta. Nada mais afetivo do que críticas com perspectivas. Assim, o enfoque maior desta iniciativa é o questionamento da prática da psicologia do trabalho, fundamentado em certos princípios da filosofia Existencial-Humanista. A partir de análises de algumas das principais atividades realizadas pela psicologia tendo como meta o trabalho humano, suas características e interelações, chega-se à conclusões que incitam preocupações tanto a nível social quanto profissional e principalmente acadêmico. Ou seja, a direção tomada historicamente pela ciência psicológica em sua inserção na esfera das atividades de produção e realização do homem, está coerente com os seus princípios profissionais fundamentais? Muitas podem ser as respostas a essa interrogação. Dentre elas encontra-se a posição resultante deste trabalho de que, salvo algumas exceções, a Psicologia do Trabalho tem uma prática distorcida pela pressão do sistema social dominante, o que implica em dizer que se encontra distanciada de muitos dos princípios básicos da ciência psicológica. Esta postura não guarda em si o significado de negação dessa prática o que o interesse pelo estudo aqui contido comprova. Pelo contrário, a intenção final é defender formas alternativas de atuação do psicólogo nessa área, bem como estimular um maior engajamento dos profissionais nessa discussão. Enfim, como uma conquista da classe, poderão existir no futuro bases mais sólidas, até mesmo legais, que permitam uma atuação nesse campo com maior liberdade teórico-metodológica.

Hermenêutica existencial em Agostinho de Hipona e Martin Heidegger

The thesis presents interpretations of Augustine of Hippo with regard to the first three chapters of genesis, the first book of the Bible. These interpretation are found in the works Literal Commentary on Genesis, concerning Genesis Against the Manicheans, Literal Commentary on Genesis, Unfinished, Books Xi-XIII of the Confessions, as well a brief exposition in Books XI-XIV of the City of God. Exposition of these Augustinian Commentaries seeks to demonstrate various interpretations made by author in one group of texts revealing a hermeneutics centered in the interpreter and not in established interpretive rules. In sequence there is described succinctly the evolution of textual hermeneutics during the modern period up to the reflections conducted by Martin Heidegger in the first half of the twenties. Based in Heidegger s existential commentaries on the Pauline Epistles (Galatians and I-II Thessalonians) and on the tenth Book of the Confessions, there is shown a return to a interpreter-based hermeneutics, such as practiced by Augustine. The concern manifested by Heidegger with regard to given bases foundations, existent in Dasein, foundations which can influence self-comprehension, constitute themselves in possibilities of explication as much for Augustinian interpretive variations, as for the existential approach applied by Heidegger to the Pauline epistles and Augustine s text

O Mitsein e as perspectivas decisórias da autenticidade segundo a analítica existencial: ponderações ontológicas para além dos limites éticos e políticos do ser-com

The present work focuses in the question of being-wit-others (Mitsein) on Martin Heidegger s philosophy. To do so, it takes base on his pivotal scripts, such as Being and Time and Na Introduction to Philosophy, in which this theme is scrutinized. The development line adopted in this work consists in advancing the existential connection between the being-with-others question attained to Dasein s ontological relation in its terms of authenticity and inauthenticity. So on, it is necessary to comment é others philosophical elements that surround this alterity relationship, analyzing phenomenologically how being-in-the-world inflicts the Dasein in its deepest and more important choice aspects, which can direct Dasein to its authenticity or inauthenticity. Facing this decisory context, also shall be observed the way Dasein finds to share the truth in accordance with its interaction with others, and how this mode of being summarizes all ontological structure of man s comprehension. The truth works as an integrative element from which the Dasein cannot escape, being-with-others is an existential situation that Dasein is not able to stop itself from living (its life-in-progress). This work also contemplates the apparent contradiction of Dasein s been always unfolded in The They mode of being, in its everydayness and being like that interacting with others. As along as this question is developed, the work explains how it is possible to be authentic and resolute (as much as inauthentic) as the Dasein interscts with others, even though, there is no pre-defined rule for these ways of relationship between the Dasein and the others

Reflexões sobre a formação clínica fenomenológico-existencial na era da técnica

Phenomenology is the focus of this study for its critique of the limits of positivist science, which guides most of the fields of study including Psychology. The clinical formation process in Psychology courses is especially difficult for students-interns who adopt phenomenology as their clinical framework. Such difficulty is due to the incompatibility between theory provided in Psychology courses a science traditionally based on paradigms of scientism , and the theoretical-methodological proposal adopted by the aforementioned approach. As a backdrop for our study, we carefully examined the thought of philosopher Martin Heidegger, especially the Era of Technique. This contemporary technicism society was studied so that we could understand the socio-cultural status where this formation lies. Thus, we questioned if this panorama upon which Clinical Psychology rests favors the development of a phenomenological attitude and a special look at the meanings of existence, as defined in phenomenological clinical practice. Knowing such limits, our research aimed at understanding the experience of formation of clinical psychologists who take part in internships in the field of phenomenology-existentialism. Such study was, then, a phenomenological-hermeneutic research based on Heideggerian ontology and used a semi-structured interview as access tool. Six students of the UFRN higher-degree Psychology course who were doing their supervised internship in clinical psychology and the referred approach took part in this research. The research revealed that the phenomenological-existential formation phase opens a door to discoveries on the part of the intern that transcend the dimension of the other, for they show a self disclosure while a person in the word. Despite the initial discomforts caused by the course curriculum itself and by the freedom for clinical practice, so characteristic of phenomenology, the narratives demonstrate that such difficulties may start a process of search for new meanings, which show a search for sharpening their practices and for a path in balance with the existence of the other

A experiência de depressão na contemporaneidade: uma compreensão fenomenológico-existencial

The depression is one of the most common forms of getting ill nowaday. Due to the increase in incidence of depression cases registered worldwide, this theme has been the subject of important studies, especially regarding the symptomatological description and biological etiology of the disease. This research had the objective to understand the unique experience of depression experienced by people who recognize themselves in depression, under the focus of existential phenomenology of Martin Heidegger. To reach the proposed objective, individuals narratives interviews were conducted with four participants, starting from the triggering question, "from your experience, how is for you to being depressed?". The survey revealed that depression affects the whole person and is related to stressful life contexts. Depression was narrated as an experience of disempowerment and lack of self esteem and personal worth. The collaborators of the research referred to the depression from sad, angry, bored and pessimistic mood. The time is experienced as a restriction to the projective opening towards the possibilities of being in which the future is seen as catastrophic and the past lived as debt and guilt. The corporeality, in depression is experienced through the weight, fatigue and pains for no reason. The space is lived from the notion of fall and collapse. We also realized the desire for isolation and avoidance of social contact. Suicide is desired and represents the end of the suffering in life. The depression has proved, still, very stigmatized, because it is discredited and misunderstood. The stigma also addressed to the experience of hospitalization and the unsuitability to the socially imposed standards of beauty, which generates enough suffering to the depressed person. The medication was described based on its positive effects, as a balance and suffering reducer, but also as a producer of dependence. Were also identified according to the collaborators, traces of selfdemand, ordenality and being-for-others, characteristic of typus melancholicus. This study contributes to an understanding of the depression that goes beyond the merely biological perspective and symptomatology of the pathology. The investigation of the depressive experience, through the lens of Heidegger's phenomenology, showed us the phenomenon of the depression in their singularity, complexity and multiple meanings, showing the close relationship between the formation of the depression and the context of personal and social life of the participants

Experiências maternas de perda de um filho com câncer infantil: uma compreensão fenomenológico-existencial

Death due to childhood cancer reflects an early outcome of life, which can cause a strong repercussion in the mother s existence - figure to whom the greatest part of responsibilities during the child s illness is commonly allocated. The aim of this study is to understand the experience of mothers who have lost a kid as a consequence of childhood cancer, approaching the personal senses of this fact. Following a qualitative research design, with an exploratory and comprehensive approach, the study used the narrative method, which was obtained from a semi-structured interview, as the data generation procedure. The research counted on the participation of three adult mothers who had lost their kids because of childhood cancer, after - at least - a six-month period of oncologic treatment. The proposal of analysis follows the parameters of the phenomenological method and the data are based on Martin Heidegger s existential analytic. The results were structured into three thematic axes: previous History, child illness and its repercussions; The network of support and care; Loss and after loss: facing and signifying. It was possible to comprehend that the emergence of cancer in childhood promotes, since the diagnosis, a disruption of everyday meanings, accentuating the fragile condition of human life. In this specific circumstance of childhood illness, all the participants restricted their possibilities of being-in-the-world, dedicating exclusively to the practice of maternity. Concerning their relationship with their children in treatment, the narratives unveiled, in a convergent manner, the existence of care in a substitutive mode. In the network of support - primarily constituted by family, the health team and the support institutions - the relations were marked by proximity and detachment movements. With the child s death, mothers began to live a way of being-with the absent child , ensuring the continuity of the relationship with the dead infant. From the results exposed above, we can understand the motherly mourn as a singular experience in constant resignification, in which the subjective time overlaps the cronological time. The increment of anguish, resulting from the mother s confrontation to the question of finitude, mobilizes a process of change in their way of being-in-the-world, promoting an openness to new possibilities in their lives. Singular attention to the mother, during the process of illness and child loss, turns out to be fundamental

A condição de proletariedade: esboço de uma analítica existencial da classe do proletariado

Our objective is to present the concept of «proletariancondition”, considered by us as the fundamental existential condition (and foundational) of modern finances, which involves men and women deprived of the means of production for their social life,in the situation of «social class» of the proletariat. The (quote, unquote)«class» of the proletariat is the social group of men and women, alienated from the social ownership/control of the means of life production, who are subsumed to a particular historical existential condition: the condition of proletarians.
