title: [First elements for a phenomenology of suffering].
abstract: The context of emergence of the theme of the professional suffering requires the research of means to understand the notion of "suffering" and to act. In this sense, the phenomelogical pratice displays a method to lead our glance to the concrete phenomenon felt by the suffering Self, in closer of his alive experience and innermost sense. This method, made of suspension of the judgment, of reflexive conversion and of eidetic variation, helps to obtain an other quality of knowledge than the knowledge obtained by the objectivized procedures. Thus, we find several prominent dimensions of the phenomenal suffering: the passivity, the interlacing and the uncertainty, among others. This "man level" approach may interest the professionals in the jobs of the relations, especially in the caring sector, with the double aim of the accompaniment of the suffering and of the resistance against the growing professional suffering.
