“AMOR” EM CLARICE LISPECTOR: LITERATURA E CLÍNICA NA ABORDAGEM CENTRADA NA PESSOA

Abstract

The present work proposes to carry out an analysis of the short story “Amor” by the author Clarice Lispector based on the theory of the Person-Centered Approach, by Carl Rogers, especially considering authenticity and congruence as facilitators of the process of awareness. in order to do so, the analysis was carried out based on specific excerpts from the work that could represent the psychological profile of the character, highlighting her choices and developments. As a result, several connections were provided between the story and the ACP theory, mainly from the moment that awareness is considered as a non-linear process, full of ups and downs and considering the Rogerian perspective on the importance of a facilitating agent, facilitating conditions and a suitable environment for the emergence of congruence. Furthermore, it is essential to consider how the subject is an active agent in their maturation. From the work carried out here, the opportunity to expand psychology studies by relating its concepts to literary works and how this can be a facilitating agent in the training process of clinical psychologists today becomes clear.
