dc.description.abstract	Many patients who show up with depressive and anxious symptomology have, or have had, interpersonal conflicts that triggered or contributed to the aggravation of the symptomology herein explained. Clinical experience has taught us that many people have difficulty in maintaining Faultless Logical Reasoning (FLR) and, even if FLR is present, they have difficulty in maintaining Faultless Logical Functioning (FLF). In clinical practice, psychotherapists saw people that in consequence of their difficulty in FLR/FLF involves in conflicts that brought them interpersonal problems in relationships, in business, work, and in other areas of their life. Consequently, these problems will be followed by anxious and depressive symptomatology. Almost always, this symptomology is accompanied by intense emotional changes. With this clinical case of a patient with depression, and its treatment, is demonstrated the importance to investigate the capacity of patients to function and think, respectively, with FLF and FLR. This work has proved very exciting because Logic-Based Psychotherapy (LBP) provide pedagogy to think better, to improve emotional processing, introspection, and more profound and rigorous analysis and responses. If the responses of the subject are more logical, it will result in fewer conflicts, less ill will, and fewer disagreements, which will lead to fewer cases of depression.	pt_PT
