Psicopatologia e terapia centrada no cliente: por uma clínica das paixões

Abstract

Psychopathology is the central theme on clinical psychology. Endeavors for statements of normality and pathology are presented in the theories and engender different clinical practices. The aim of this work is to discuss psychopathology on Client Centered Therapy through the notion of person in fully functioning b y Carl Rogers. Questions are made, based on the ethics of radical alterity by Emmanuel Lévinas, reaffirming the pathos as passion and recognizing the necessity of the person centered psychotherapy to be open to listen to the radically Other. Finally, the desconstruction of the idea of fully functioning person is pointed, once it disregards the difference of the Other, in a whole conception of subjectivity.
