The notion of gratitude acquires in psychology various meanings: on the one hand, it can represent a positive emotion in moral terms linked to the recognition of what other people do for the development of our well-being, in accordance with our immanent dignity as human beings. On the other hand, it has to do with the general capacity of the subjects to value - at each moment - the good things that arise in their lives, in the form of: experiences, blessings or situations that facilitate the development of a flat and purposeful life. In this sense, the objective of this research was to configure the theoretical and methodological bases that allow the structuring of a clinical protocol for a renewed gratitude therapy, authored by psychologist Liliana Castaño Gómez. In order to achieve the proposed objective, a hermeneutic methodology was used to reinterpret a set of scientifically proven sources, to dialogue with different schools and authors on the scope of their contributions to the theory of gratitude. The results obtained allow us to conclude that the practice of gratitude therapy brings many benefits, such as: resilience and strengthening of self-esteem.
