As especificidades do psicólogo na clínica ampliada da saúde da família à luz da gestalt-terapia

Abstract

The present work aims to address the performance of the psychologist, guided by Gestalt – Therapy in the expanded Family Health Clinic, in the teams of Expanded Nucleus of Family Health and Basic Care: ENFH-BC. Another objective is to glimpse the potentialities and difficulties present in this context. Thus, the following guidelines are presented: Public Health guidelines, especially ENFH-BC and the extended clinic; the philosophical, theoretical foundation and basic concepts of GestaltTherapy; the expanded clinic and the Gestalt-Therapy, with the ways of acting in this environment; the author's experience; and the final considerations. It can be seen that, because it is a field of very recent psychological action, it presents many possibilities for working in communities, despite the existing obstacles, many of which are economic, social and political. In addition, it is remarkable how Gestalt-Therapy can contribute to the performance in the extended clinic, through therapeutic actions based on the phenomenological posture, the conception of man as being-in-relation, in contact with himself and his field, in a way that person and his surroundings are inconceivable separately. It is also crucial to integrate and communicate well within and between the teams, so that therapeutic actions can be carried out and the interdisciplinarity achieved.
