Abstract
This paper is grounded on the hermeneutic
constructivist approach. We focused on the path of uncompleted recognition in
the form of negligence (Chiari, 2015), reporting the psychotherapeutic process
of a female theatre actress. Her issues take shape within the dialectic between
her feeling transparent to the others’view and her being too visible due to the
very same diversity. Initially, the therapy focuses on the personal meaning of
the mask. An important space is dedicated to the process of forgiveness in
psychotherapy and to Kelly’s techniques, favouring the aggressive elaboration
of role constructs.
Keywords: hermeneutic constructivism, path of dependency, self-recognition,
forgiveness
