Abstract

This study discusses the contemporary psychopathological pictures derived from a sociocultural context in which human life is organized according to the fundamental principles that characterize modernity and postmodernity. Today, distress is a result of a world characterized by hyper-realities, in which the human originary conditions are forgotten. In this context, it is observed that the human body is the focus of the most fundamental changes that deserve our reflection. The clinical situation needs to be reinvented in order to manage the new forms of subjectivity. To that end, the contributions of Michel Henry are highly relevant. The present study discusses some of the most fundamental concepts developed by this author in dialogue with the clinical situation.
