Abstract
The humanist/existential approach sees mental distress, when not caused by endogenous psychiatric components, as an expression of “non-realisation of human potential” intended not only in the pursuit of external objectives (socio-economic or relationship life), but above all in the profound acceptance of our nature and of that “know yourself”, to which we refer to a millenary wisdom. This “renaissance” to a new self-awareness implies a “maieuse” (which is the art of the senator) that can express itself in many aspects of “care”, ranging from the more “symptomatic” to “non-realisation of human potential” intended not only to achieve external objectives (socio-economic or relationship life), but above all in the deep acceptance of our nature and of what is “know yourself”, to which we can draw attention in many aspects of “taking care” of what is more “symptomatic” to those that are more active in terms of professional and professional growth. that of helping us at a time of difficulty. After an overview of the aid report, curative behaviour, maternal/nursing function, shared body in psychotherapy and the skills required for a pathway of psychological change, the author proposes a way of entering into the specificity of the aid-relationship professions, taking psychotherapy as an inspiration and arguing that such action could benefit the entire world of the aid-relationship professions.
