AGUIAR, Eloisa Nogueira. Psychotherapy in the face of human freedom: a orteguian discussion. Fractal, Rev. Psicol. [online]. 2012, vol.24, n.1, pp. 111-124. ISSN 1984-0292.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1984-02922012000100008.

After all, psychotherapy deals primarily with the problem of freedom, as the man replies that comes to the meeting. The philosopher of Madrid, to put man as the protagonist of his life, promotes openness to the specific attention, marking a clinical attitude to abandon any reduction in the human dimensions purely organic, psychological or social, reducing it, so the amorphous figure of whom little or nothing you can do for yourself.

Keywords : psychotherapy; human freedom; Ortega y Gasset.
