Sumario:If we understand boundaries between cultures as cultural events, fluid and open to change through reconstruction in interaction, the cultural borderlands we inhabit become a fertile ground for a reflexive therapy. In such a process the ability to see ourselves through the others incorporates the cross-cultural ethnic-social dimensions we are made of, not as a mere context for a supposedly universal and abstract form of therapy, but as a necessary text of a situated and embodied version of it. Such a therapy has also a critical role to play in times that invite to live unexamined lives and to reduce social services to blindly ideological and bureaucratized forms of social engineering.   * First published in issue no. 11 of 1998 of Nova Perspectiva Sistêmica Journal.
