The modern breakdown of psychotherapy. Yields of Heideggerian ontology for a new foundation

Abstract

Psychotherapy, as a modern outcome, sees itself as a set of empirically valid techniques aimed at alleviating a symptom or suffering. This foundation is based on the technical-theoretical availability of the world, as well as of the subject and his disarrangements, but does not take over of the paradox of equivalence, where different theoretical models obtain similar efficacy results. The foundation of therapy under the tradition of self-care, through the yields of Martin Heidegger's existential ontology, can offer a way out of the paradox of equivalence where the main character of change is not the theoretical presupposition from which it starts, but the movement of a subjectivity immersed in the world that, in a mediated way and under a theoretical pattern, allows the appearance of dimensions of meaning not previously attended to.
