Justice, care and recognition: the moral fabric of therapeutic bonds
Abstract
This article investigates the general structure of the therapeutic bond in two parts: a pragmatic description of social agents as subjects morally challenged by the fundamental norm of justice (“to each one what is due”), which in healthcare may also have potential intersubjective conflicts; and a representation of the therapeutic relationship based on Paul Ricœur’s “three levels of medical judgment” (prudential, deontological and reflexive), giving the prescriptions in this scope the status of a moral relationship.
