Psychotherapy in the face of Human Freedom

This book explains elements of the Raciovitalism of Spanish philosopher José Ortega y Gasset, which serve as support for the discussion of psychotherapy in relation to those who turn to it. Ortega y Gasset's thinking understands man as constitutive lack and freedom, since, from this perspective, he is faced with things and others, with his "circumstance", having to make himself, build his own narrative in the life that presents itself to him. We have endeavoured, as our philosopher mentions, to seek as much "clarity" as possible, as this is a kind of courtesy to those who come to look at this book. Therefore, the main objective is to lead to a reflection on psychological practice and its object of action.
