Wsparcie jako fenomen egzystencjalny i doświadczenie relacji w perspektywie fenomenologicznej Streszczenie

Artykuł stanowi próbę namysłu nad istotnymi aspektami etycznego znaczenia doświadczenia wsparcia. Podjęta refleksja nawiązywać będzie do badań Profesor Tone Saevi (University College Bergen, Norwegia) oraz Mony Sommer (Faculty of Health and Social Sciences, University College of Southeast, Norwegia) odwołujących się do propozycji metodologicznych oraz refleksji etycznej i pedagogicznej jednego z najważniejszych reprezentantów pedagogiki inspirowanej fenomenologią na świecie Maxa van Manena, emerytowanego profesora University of Alberta w Kanadzie. Zasadniczym celem podjętej eksploracji fenomenu wsparcia jest pogłębienie rozumienia natury i znaczenia wsparcia w odwołaniu się do tego czym jest ono dla młodych dorosłych doświadczających trudności w obszarze zdrowia psychicznego. Refleksja podjęta w artykule wskazuje profesjonalistom konieczność troski o głębsze rozumienie fenomenu wsparcia z zamiarem zachowania wrażliwości na autentyczne obszary żywego doświadczenia wsparcia w relacji. Proponowana próba eksploracji znaczenia wsparcia koncentruje się na relacji między zwyczajowo akceptowanymi koncepcjami etycznego znaczenia wsparcia, proponowanymi profesjonalistom i przez nich, a żywym doświadczeniem bycia we wspierającej relacji.

Phenomenology recognizes the great diversity of the human experience of suffering and illness, going beyond the medically described sphere through the prism of causes, symptoms and type of medical intervention towards opening access to the individual experience of the disease and revealing its meaning in human existential, social and finally pedagogical experience.
