This essay has the purpose to place psychotherapy in the context of social inequalities, defending its importance when facing psychic questions derived from such differences and the necessity to offer it to every citizen. Its specific purpose is the analysis of a psychotherapy proposition built up in the course of 8 years of work with low-income people. Subjects are part of a psychotherapy group this researcher works with at a medical health insurance center for lowincome people. While attending them we have observed that many of their complaints result from a life marked with inequalities and social injustices that affect their psychic configuration in the sense called by Sawaia as an ethicalpolitical suffering. Espinosa s and Vygotsky s theories and the way Sawaia understands the dialog between the philosopher and the Russian author give the basis for the reflection in this work as well Freud s reflections on the necessity to give to the poor the benefits of a psychotherapeutic treatment. The methodological support was based on research-action principles and its procedures such as: elaboration of a field log by the researcher, another one by a group of patients and the use of semi-structure, open-ended questionnaire for all. Analysis of the reported and obtained information mediated by theoretical reflections shows that it is possible to empower patients to change the way they think and behave, in a short time, if compared to patients from private clinics. It gave us material for a critical psychotherapy analysis and for the formulation of a psychotherapy directed toward the suffering caused by social inequalities. In this direction, they point to the necessity of a social commitment of the psychotherapist and the inclusion of this group psychotherapy in questions of public health
