La psicoterapia como camino de conformidad

Resumen

El ser humano es movido a obrar conforme al bien propio de su naturaleza racional,

pues es la razón la que ordena las conductas a su fin. Solo la razón puede dirigir el

obrar según el orden que expresa y constituye la personalidad sana. Quien no se

eleva hacia el fin propio natural, buscando la perfección, pierde el orden de su ser

y se dispone a las enfermedades psíquicas. Cuando la personalidad es sana, adecua

lo sensible a la razón y la razón a su fin último: Dios. Es tarea del psicoterapeuta

estudiar rigurosamente el natural ordenamiento de las conductas y suscitar una

verdadera «metanoia» para que el ser humano reconozca su condición creatural y

franquee los desvíos éticos que lo alejan de su fin trascendente.

Psychotherapy as a Way of Conformity

ABSTRACT

The human being is moved to act according to the good of his rational nature, since it

is reason that orders behaviors to an end. Only reason can direct the action according

to the order that expresses and constitutes the healthy personality. He who does not

rise to his own natural end, seeking perfection, loses the order of his being and disposes

himself to psychic illnesses. When the personality is healthy, it adapts the sensible

to reason and reason to its ultimate goal: God. It is the task of the psychotherapist to

study rigorously the natural ordering of behaviors and to create a true "metanoia" so

that the human being recognizes his creative condition and overcomes the ethical deviations

that distance him from his transcendent end.
