O diálogo em "Eu e Tu" de Martin Buber: contribuições para a Psicologia

Abstract

This paper aimed to characterize and understand the dialogue and the dialogical relation from the work Me and You (1923, 1979), by Martin Buber. Besides, it was intended to discuss the implication of the dialogical relation in the field of Psychology. As a methodological procedure, the work was read and reread, starting from the whole to the parts and from the parts to the whole; this movement made it possible to think of common themes, forming units of meaning (unit 1 - I-Thou relationship; unit 2 - IThou relationship; unit 3 - reciprocity) which, when agglutinated, formed a constellation (dialogical relationship). This form of analysis brings to light what is not shown, enabling, also, the text itself to express its meaning. As results, we presented a summary of the work studied, so that the reader could approach the concepts later discussed. Already in the discussion, we present the units of meaning, in order to deepen the discussion of the units of meaning, as well as the constellation formed. In general, the I-Thou dialog is presented by Buber as a relationship of reciprocity, in which there is the recognition of the other as part of my "I". This relationship is also presented from the ontological conception, since it would be the nature of the I to relate to the Thou. It is also worth mentioning that a fundamental point of the relation is that it must be understood by the encounter, without theoretical conceptualizations, it happens the way it happens in the encounter. In conclusion, we argue how the understanding of the human relationship is fundamental to the field of Psychology, both in the performance of professionals in institutional contexts, and in relation to the therapeutic encounter
