Abstract

What stages do people who undergo a changing process go through? This article deals with self-knowledge and its nature process, under the comparison between a spiritual perspective and a scientific one. The first will have as reference the phases described by St. Teresa of Avila; in her book “The Interior Castle” and the second, is based on the description by Carl Rogers; in his book “On Becoming a Person”. Despite the epistemological and ontological differences; it was possible, on both analysis, verify the similarities in the phases of the changing process towards the specific ways of being and behave existentially.
