Contribuições de Edith Stein para a compreensão dos fenômemos que surgem da não conexão com o núcleo-pessoal e as aproximações com a gestalt-terapia

Abstract

This monograph aims to understand the phenomena of illnesses in our present time, especially suicide and its relationship with the perception of oneself, in view of a scenario marked by a lifestyle that allows the connection with the beyond structural boundaries world. Based on the personal structure, proposed by scholars of Edith Stein and with some concepts of Gestalt-therapy, we sought to understand what she calls the personal core and how it presents itself in the human person and in the relationship with the present phenomena . This is a theoretical research that, after a review of some books and scientific articles, enabled a construction for a psychological understanding of contemporary experiences. Thus, it is evident that contact with that core, with the other and with the world is constitutive for the process of becoming a person. However, when this relationship is not reciprocal, it does not contribute to that process of integration, but, instead, to one of alienation, in which individuals all behave in the same way, without an internal unity. It is a way of living marked by an inauthentic existence that implies a project of death, that is, living means not to be. This way, it is concluded that suicide presents itself as a way out of helplessness and the desire of contemporary malaise. And based what was exposed, it was sought from Stein's approaches to Gestalt-Therapy to propose a look at the phenomena present in society, highlighting among them the sucidium.
