FERNANDES, Waldemar José. About the unexpected: managing the adversity of unexpectedness and diversity in group sessions.. Rev. SPAGESP [online]. 2014, vol.15, n.2, pp. 04-11. ISSN 1677-2970.

In psychoanalytic clinic of bonds, the presence of an external and real other, as well as uncontrollable events might disturb and generate feelings of surprise and disgust. In contrast, they can also lead to discovery, which can also enrich our lives by stimulating learning. The author reflects upon these effects and also about diversity and adversity with clinical examples on dealing with those phenomena by accepting reality with good will. The diverse and unexpected might lead to the appearance of narcissistic susceptibilities to small differences among people, leading to misunderstandings. It seems to be a human misfortune to understand the world according to one's own version, prejudging the diverse as adverse. Nonetheless, there is no control over the unexpected. Everything relates to tolerance to frustration and acceptance of uncertainty.

Palavras-chave : adversity; diversity; uncertainty; unexpected.
