Therapeutic encounter or process-metamorphosis: the challenge of territorial and community services

This paper presents a reflection about the question of the carefulness in the territorial and communitarian services, in the context of SUS's consolidation and improvement. Through the notion of therapeutic meeting, it aims to affirm the need of the therapeutic process to arise from dialogue and changes in the power flow between the therapist and the patient, creating singular and unique ways not predicted before. Through the Idea that in living organism the transformation process is the rule and not the exception, it is ascertained that the therapist's modification is a condition for modifying the patient.
