Abstract

This paper will present an original, and, in the context of its philosophical endeavour, highly fruitful and propulsive kind of the psychotherapy process called the peripatetic psychotherapy, also known as the therapeutic accompaniment. The argumentative plot is based on the empirical example of its impact to one Brazilian teenager who did not respond to conventional psychotherapy. Being in social isolation, he refused to attend school, presenting typical symptoms of depression and social phobia, but he had no final diagnosis. The therapeutic work lasted two years and three months, easing his return to the school environment, his ability to make friends and his autonomy in the social interactions, indicating wide-reaching benefits of the peripatetic psychotherapy. In this article, the focus will be on the phenomeno-structural psychopathology compound of the given approach, recognized as the fundamental, universal part of the psychotherapeutic mereology process.
