Description
En este artículo se presenta la concepción de la psicología constructivista acerca del lenguaje y su efecto en la configuración del psiquismo y su utilidad en la práctica psicoterapéutica. Desde esa perspectiva el lenguaje se revela en la condición de un “proceso constitutivo del ser humano en la construcción de la realidad que sirve para explicarla y explicarse a sí mismo” (Balbi, 2004). En ese contexto, el constructivismo en psicología es una corriente cognitiva en la cual en el lenguaje aparecen las habilidades mentales y la construcción de distinciones y construcciones de nociones acerca del mundo, la subjetividad, la realidad, el semejante y de la interacción en los escenarios sociales. Se establece un abordaje psicoterapéutico a partir del lenguaje en que se comprende la determinación del psiquismo en la condición de producto del efecto representativo y narrativo de las redes lingüísticas en las personas. De donde se desprende que la intervención ha de dirigirse al lenguajear de los pacientes, en tanto es el elemento humano a través del cual dan cuenta de las formas singulares y maneras propias que se tienen para asumir las realidades, establecer vínculos, la cotidianidad, la cultura, su historia y elaborar construcciones acerca de la vida y su destino. En esos términos el lenguaje es establecido en la categoría de base del psiquismo y sustento de la orientación del tratamiento y el dispositivo psicoterapéutico.Palabras clave:abordaje psicoterapéutico, lenguaje, práctica psicoterapéutica, psiquismo.
This paper presents the view of constructivist psychology about language and its effect in shaping the psyche as well as its usefulness in psychotherapeutic practice. From this perspective, language reveals as a “human constitutive process in the construction of reality that serves to explain it and explain himself ” (Balbi, 2004). In this context, constructivism in psychology is a cognitive movement in which mental abilities appear in language along with constructions of distinctions and notions about the world, subjectivity, reality, the others, and interactions in social scenarios. Constructivism establishes a psychotherapeutic approach based on language. It comprises the psyche as a product of the representative and narrative effects of human language networks. Thus, therapeutic intervention has to address the language of the patient, as it is the element through which humans cope with reality, establish links, and deal with cotidianity, culture, personal history, and develop constructs about life and destiny. In those terms, language is set at the base of psyche, guiding the psychotherapeutic treatment.
