Based on conceptual elements related to adaptation and sympathy, taken from the proposals of Nietzsche's, Deleuze's and D.H. Lawrence's philosophy and literature, this paper is a critical exercise in the problematic field of the clinic in its interface with the arts. The narrative of a group situation coordinated in partnership with plastic artists and occupational therapists is the engine-image that allows interweaving those perspectives and thinking about the challenges in the daily routine of populations under conditions of severe fragility and limitations in their lives - as a result of problems caused by physical and/or intellectual disabilities (impairments). In the relation with suffering, exclusion and creation, the proposal of this paper is to reflect on the clinic in critical trajectories by considering the complexity of those processes as summons: actions and reactions transiting between hardenings and porosities, proximities and distances, identity reiteration and availability for deviations.
