Abstract

LOPEZ CALVO DE FEIJOO, Ana María  and  MOREIRA PROTASIO, Myriam. The universal and the singular into the Kierkegaardian psychology. Psicol. caribe [online]. 2014, vol.31, n.1, pp.161-186. ISSN 0123-417X.

This is a review paper and theoretical reflection about the basics identified by Sóren Kierkegaard's thought to an existential psychology and psychotherapy, taking into account the issues of freedom, in the duplicity of its universal character of objective anguish, and its particular character, of subjective anguish. Based on the review of various works of Kierkegaard and on texts from contemporary commentators, we concludes that the philosophy of existence, as developed by the Danish philosopher, can provide elements for a review not only to the way psychology had constituted in his time, with his belief that human behavior is liable to be determined by experimental criteria, deductive or metaphysical (universal), but mainly can provide elements for the development of a psychology which considers the existence in their materiality.

Keywords : Kierkegaard; freedom; universal; singular; psychology; psychotherapy.
