This article presents a clinical-theoretical model grounded in relational ontology and phenomenological observation, introducing the concept of existential alibis as symbolic strategies through which subjects seek to legitimize their existence. Based on clinical experience and illustrated through case studies, the work proposes a shift from symptomatic correction toward the restoration of existential authorship in psychotherapeutic practice.
