It is also proposed to perform a critical analysis of the systematization of relevant experiences, as well as the expansion of employment of those favoring the improvement of the experiential method. Based on the analysis performed, one can assume that the experiential method tends to expand both in the application of professional psychology and related fields, as well as in terms of knowledge.
