Experiências desalojadoras do eu e escuta clínica

Abstract

This study aims both to clarify what routine life disturbing experiences are in fact and to analyse to what extent they help to the formation of the clinical listening itself.This work focuses on this author s personal experience in the Large Groups Centered in the Person which were based on the research developed by Carl Rogers and co-authors. Carl Rogers, a twentieth century thinker, is a son of the Modernity Ideals that consider man in the center of the universe, as the Almighty and having no limits to all possible knowledge. Rogers, in the last decade of his life, when working with large groups, started to discover a world of multiple and complex phenomena. One doesn t know if it would be possible for Rogers, to abandon the metaphysical ideas of what human nature means to him and then understand the decentralization demanded by group experiences. This research questions both the representational logic and the impermeable identities that make up the Modern Era ideals. It reports the analysis of literary characters and in-session patients who have to deal with routine life disturbing situations. This study also presents empirical data based on reports from five therapists who engaged in group experiences. This author concludes that the professional therapist own development implies that he himself experiences life disturbing situations. This will enable him to better understand his patients problems and in this way be able to help them more effectively. Group organization does offer an opportunity for complex and multiple experiences that make the individual face helpless situations which are fundamental for the own person s growing as a human being
