Practical applications of sociopoetics in health care: a contemporary vision

Abstract

Sociopoetics defines a field for research and action in health and in other  areas.  A  vision  of  the  integrated  individual  (in  itself,  integrating  strengths  and weaknesses,   and   holistically,   in   the   human   and   non-human   environment),   the Researching-Group  device  inspired  by  Paulo  Freire  and  Institutional  Analysis  (and operative Groups etc.) favors "work" between shadow and light, between oppression and freedom, by the profound solidarity and responsibility of the members in the process of knowing,  caring  and  learning.  The  Researching  Group  owns  the research,  care  and learning in dialogicity with the institution that welcomes us, which is entitled to demand returns  by  its  availability.  But  it  is  even  more  than  that:  it  is  a  thinker,  a  collective philosopher,  an  intelligent  collective  covered  by  pre-individual  and  supra-individual affections,  giving  substantiated  reasons  in  expanded  environments,  winning  without holding, and receiving without relying.
