Aporte del Humanismo a la tarea diagnóstica

Abstract

This article refers that the professionals of the health, having done a diagnosis, believe that they must describe, in «objective» terms the suffering of someone. Every diagnosis is a cut as possible about the reality of a Your; reality whose subjectivity covers, and the subjectivity of the professional will try to des-cover. From the humanism, the diagnosis happens for three moments:

1. the generic (if this person is healthy or sick). It involves a definition of health. b) If the person has restricted some or all of the freedoms that define it from health, is interrogated: what is sick?, why is suffering?, why now and here?; and c) moment of personification, if it came from an intentional encounter with the other. When this relation subject-subject is mediated by the auxiliary technologies of diagnosis, with his supposed «objectivity», must be neutralized for the comprehension of the sense, from You to You.
