Subjectivity in the illness process and dialogue as a facilitator of new subjective senses
Keywords:
Health, Mental health, Psychotherapy, Qualitative researchAbstract
Objective
The article aimed to study the subjective configurations of a person diagnosed with cancer based on the theoretical framework of the Theory of Subjectivity in a Historical-Cultural perspective as proposed by González Rey.
Method
For this purpose, the constructive-interpretative method was used, guided by the principles of Qualitative Epistemology, which consider the development of knowledge as constructiveinterpretative production in its singular and dialogical scope. In the development of the investigation, individual conversational dynamics were used.
Results
The results presented describe and explore how the creation of a dialogical space as a facilitating tool for new subjective productions is essential for promoting ways to minimize psychic suffering. The favorable context allows for the expression of experiences and emotions that significantly contribute to the reduction of psychic suffering.
Conclusion
In this perspective, it was important to understand the human experience in a complex and singular way.
