SANTOS, Gustavo Alvarenga Oliveira. Contributions of the work of Luis Martin-Santos for the psychotherapy and psychopatolog. Rev. NUFEN [online]. 2013, vol.5, n.2, pp.64-82. ISSN 2175-2591.

This article aims to present the main theoretical contributions of the psychiatric work of Luis Martin-Santos for psychopathology and psychotherapy. To do so was described were the main concepts described in these two areas. The theoretical framework of Martin-Santos is diverse, but falls especially in the field of phenomenology and philosophies of existence, and has absorbed, critically, psychoanalysis. However, the contributions of Jean Paul Sartre are more patents in his writings on psychotherapy, as well as Dilthey and Jaspers in Psychopathology. The author contributes to the understanding of mental illness in psychopathology establishing four levels of understanding: static, dynamic, existential and deep, and has created the concept of psicomorfia. As for the field of psychotherapy, resizes the existential point of view, the transference relationship and the healing process. Proposes three types of manifestation of anxiety that would occur by terrors: cosmic, and the other tragic. Overcoming these terrors through the transfer would lead to the cure of the patient, which in his view is the increased freedom and possibilities of being in the world. The text concludes that the work of Martin-Santos, an unknown author in Brazil, brings fruitful and interesting contributions to psi studies and clinical mental health.
