ALVIM, Mônica Botelho. Clinic as a poietic. []. , 12, 3, pp.1007-1023. ISSN 1808-4281.

A key theme of the clinic relates to the production of meaning. When Merleau-Ponty emphasizes the notion of flesh, proposes a kind of passivity of the self to the field, a brute being who holds self and other, culture, history, temporality. Affirms the need to move from Erlebnisse (experience) to Stiftung (institution), placing emphasis on a kind of sense produced by spontaneous genesis, differentiation, creation from the difference. We discuss the clinical gestalt therapy in dialogue with these proposals and contemporary issues, to propose the clinic as a place of creation,designed to allow spontaneous birth of meaning as deviant speech; the genesis of the sense as an institution guarantees belonging with the other to the same world. In this sense we can think of  an ethics of creation from the difference - clinic as a poietic
