The Boy Walking

A Therapeutic Proposal Under The Phenomenological-Existencial Perspective

Abstract

The article has the objective of carrying out an existential-phenomenological analysis of a therapeutic proposal carried out between 2019-2020 in a Child and Youth CAPS, whose focus would be on the path, suggested by the patient, by the outskirts of sub barrio. From here, it is possible to discuss the possible alliance between the practice in Mental Health and the existential-phenomenological clinic - based on authors such as Merleau-Ponty, Heidegger, Augras and Feijoo - as a powerful aspect to be used within this field of performance and within the prism of flowing the subjects of the individual through its experiential horizon, without the need to indicate previous conceptions about what is the man, and what is he, in his unique relationship with the world, who will emerge as himself, clearing the steps of your path. We also seek to use some works by the comic artist Jiro Taniguchi to help in discussions related to the experiences lived by the patient during the walks, being comic words a fruitful illustration of possible benefits that could bring about the habit of walking, culminating with reflections about the feeling of vital lightness that this practice offers us and about the transformations that can affect the subject through the perceptions of this existential horizon.
