A Daseinsanalyse clínica de Medard Boss

Abstract

Clinical Daseinsanalyse, a young psychological approach developed by Medard Boss under the guidance of Martin Heidegger, despite its significant development in recent decades, is still not widespread. This article aims to present this approach by rescuing the original philosophical problem and its repercussions regarding the horizon of clinical work. Thus, this work is structured in three parts: first, presentation of the term “phenomenology” throughout the history of philosophy; second, presentation of the reception of the phenomenological problematic within Heideggerian thought, third, presentation of the phenomenological articulations that constitute Clinical Daseinsanalyse. The development of this work allows the consideration that Clinical Daseinsanalyse constitutes an ontic science branched from Heidegger's fundamental ontology.
