Experiencia encarnada y construcción de subjetividad: un documental autoetnográfico y performativo de prácticas terapéuticas no convencionales

Abstract

This thesis employs an autoethnographic methodology to explore the transformation of identity and the search for meaning through unconventional therapeutic practices, drawing on a robust theoretical framework that integrates depth, humanistic, and positive psychology. The study examines William James’s concept of the “fringes of consciousness” to validate spiritual experiences in the face of medical reductionism, Erikson’s dynamic development of identity, and Erich Fromm’s distinction between the modes of existence of “having” and “being”. It also incorporates Jung’s process of individuation, Viktor Frankl’s capacity for self-transcendence, Maslow’s concept of peak experiences, and Seligman’s PERMA model of well-being to establish how crises of meaning and embodied experiences can act as catalysts for subjective reorganization and human flourishing, enabling individuals to integrate their personal histories into a coherent and transcendent narrative.
