Considering Heidegger’s ideas and theorists from the mentioned perspective, concepts of social, being-in-the-word, clinical listening and clinical practices are discussed. Some experiences of psychological duty are reported, aiming to exemplify the kind of stand-by psychological support based in the phenomenological-existential perspective. The article concludes considering that the social dimension can be understood, under the hermeneutics perspective, as a constituent of the human and, accordingly, is present in the phenomenological-existential clinic.
