Abstract

This essay reflects on the helping relationship starting from the contributions of phenomenology [Edmund Husserl, Edith Stein, Max Scheler, Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka] to the problem of intersubjectivity and from phenomenological psychiatry [Karl Jaspers, Eugène Minkowski, Ludwig Binswanger, Bruno Callieri] on the clinical and therapeutic aspects of a therapeutic relationship. Clinical data will be examined in the light of the contributions of religion as well to clinical interpretation.
