This article aims to redefine and renew the practice and theory of clinical psychotherapy in relation to the conspicuous changes in the social and political scenarios of the last decades of our history. New ways of observing pathoplastic phenomena are suggested and the relationships between macro- and micro- phenomena of psychism are explored. Certain internal arrangements of the psychotherapist are reviewed in the light of a renewed synoptic and wide-angle view. The alienating impact of current and specific social determinants on people’s daily lives is assessed and a clinical practice of resistance in defence of dignity, freedom and truth of the contemporary subject is suggested.
