Social Sciences and Humanistic Therapeutic Orientations: Approaches for Interdisciplinary Work in Contexts of Social Suffering
Abstract
This paper presented similitudes and differences between profound and therapeutic interview, and the accent in understanding the body, as meeting points between Social Sciences —specifically Sociology— and the therapeutic orientations based on Person Cen-tered and Gestalt therapies. Then, some contributions of Social Sciences to the theory and practice of therapy were developed, basing on the sociological theory of fields, and the concepts of habitus and symbolic violence that stem from it. Finally, specific actions axis, in which both therapy and Social Sciences can support each other, were presented. It is concluded the necessity of establishing interdisciplinary workgroups, in order to carry out social interventions that include both comprehension of the social background of personal suffering and conducts, and the exercise of empathy and horizontality, with the aim to contribute to the recuperation of individual and group agency in contexts of violence, social discomposure and social suffering.
