Therapeutic itinerary and the construction of caring therapeutic projects

Abstract

The construction of new caring approaches in health field demands our attention in a context of changes and challenges evocated by the consolidation, maintenance and improvement of SUS. In this perspective, it is necessary the incorporation of new resources, capable of contribute to the construction and elaboration of intervention proposals centered in individuals and that consider their interaction with context and lives history. By using the model proposed by Merhy, in which the author defends that the construction of new approaches must be based on relational universe, where it is possible to produce the "caring that cares", based particularly on soft technologies, we introduce the concept of therapeutic itineraries and discuss the comprehension of this phenomenon as a resource that provides the construction of caring therapeutic projects regarding the person's experiences, meanings, paths, wishes and necessities on the elaboration of his own treatment process.
