COSTA, Breno Augusto da  and  TELLES, Thabata Castelo Branco. The process of listening in harm reduction: Rogers and Kierkegaard contributions. Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2017, vol.23, n.1, pp. 74-83. ISSN 1809-6867.

The harm reduction is a strategy of management of high-risk behaviors and it is considered humanized and pragmatic. There are many convergence points with the Collective Health field, especially for its foundation in the rapport and horizontal nature of the relationship between health professional and patient. The aim of this work is to discuss the process of listening in harm reduction, highlighting Rogers's and Kierkegaard's contributions. This is a bibliographical research. Texts about the practice of harm reduction have been collected and the information about the process of listening was discussed through the perspectives of the two thinkers and their possible interlocution. From this viewpoint the user is considered as a main character in the process of care. The listening from attitudes of empathy and positive unconditional regard from the redactor is fundamental because it unveils meanings. The conclusion is that the listening is fundamental in the user existential project and Rogers's and Kierkegaard's thoughts provide subsidies to the comprehension of listening mechanisms and foundation to a qualified listening.
