The participant was a person of the female, married, mother of three children, lived with her husband and with a history of two admissions to psychiatric institutions, with the first 24 years of age and last for 35 years. The participant had daily use of drugs: haloperidol 5mg, 25mg and Pamergan Risperidone 2mg. The participant was selected among patients in care in CAPS. The research activities included experimental sessions in the form of clinical care in the home of the participant. All sessions were recorded on video and transcribed in full, which allowed the analysis of verbal behavior of the participant and their categorization into appropriate words and inappropriate words. For the control procedures were used two experimental designs. In the design of interventions in alternate format ABAC. The design of alternative interventions was the alternation between the conditions of the baseline (A) which was free and talk to different interventions, and (B) Functional analysis, (C) training of social skills has been divided into two phases, the first with the participant and the second with a family member to guide the family to deal with these difficulties. In all, during this design were seventeen sessions. The design of withdrawal or reversal in the ABA. The design consisted of withdrawal or reversal of the baseline phase (A) before the intervention phase, (B) which is characterized by alternative differential reinforcement (DRA) of verbal behavior and appropriate procedures for withdrawal of social attention to the behavior inappropriate verbal (EXT) and (A) a kind of 'return to the baseline. " Other nine sessions were held until the final period of data collection. The results showed that the strengthening influence the social behavior of verbal participant and that the procedures for the analysis of behavior intervention were effective in reduction of inappropriate words and increase the appropriate lines. The results were discussed in terms of applied methodology, principles of behavior, the effects achieved and the corroboration of data. You can say to this study that the behavioral changes made by the participant were relevant. / O objetivo do presente estudo foi o de investigar o comportamento verbal de uma pessoa diagnosticada como esquizofrênica há 28 anos, em uma unidade de saúde mental, utilizando-se dos princípios da análise do comportamento. A participante era uma pessoa do sexo feminino, casada, mãe de três filhos, residia com o marido e com um histórico de duas internações em instituições psiquiátricas, sendo a primeira aos 24 anos de idade e a última aos 35 anos. A participante fazia uso diário dos medicamentos: Haloperidol 5mg, Pamergan 25mg e Risperidona 2mg. A participante foi selecionada entre os pacientes em atendimento no CAPS. As atividades da pesquisa incluíram sessões experimentais no formato de atendimento clínico na casa da participante. Todas as sessões foram registradas em vídeo e transcritas na íntegra, o que possibilitou a análise do comportamento verbal da participante e sua categorização em falas apropriadas e falas inapropriadas. Para o controle dos procedimentos foram utilizados dois delineamentos experimentais. No delineamento de intervenções alternadas no formato A-B-A-C-A. O delineamento de intervenções alternadas consistiu na alternância entre as condições de linha de base (A) que foi conversas livres e de diferentes intervenções, sendo (B) análises funcionais, (C) treinamento das habilidades sociais que foi dividido em duas fases, a primeira com a participante e a segunda com um membro da família para orientar a família como lidar com essas dificuldades existentes. Ao todo, durante esse delineamento foram realizadas dezessete sessões. O delineamento de retirada ou reversão no formato AB- A. O delineamento de retirada ou reversão consistiu de uma fase de linha de base (A) antes da fase de intervenção, (B) que se caracterizou pelo reforçamento diferencial alternativo (DRA) dos comportamentos verbais apropriados e procedimentos de retirada da atenção social para os comportamentos verbais inapropriados (EXT) e (A) uma espécie de retorno à linha de base . Outras nove sessões foram realizadas até ao prazo final da coleta de dados. Os resultados demonstraram que o reforço social influenciou no comportamento verbal da participante e que os procedimentos de intervenção da análise do comportamento foram efetivos para diminuição das falas inapropriadas e aumento das falas apropriadas. Os resultados foram discutidos em termos da metodologia aplicada, dos princípios comportamentais, dos efeitos alcançados e da corroboração dos dados da literatura. Pode-se afirmar com este estudo que as modificações comportamentais apresentadas pela participante foram relevantes.

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a aplicação do Inventário de Habilidades Sociais de Del Prette (IHS) na mensuração das Habilidades Sociais e suas correlações com variáveis psicopatológicas e neuropsicológicas em pacientes com esquizofrenia, em comparação com controles normais. MÉTODOS: Este estudo é parte de um ensaio clinico que avaliou a eficácia do Treino de Habilidades Sociais em pacientes com esquizofrenia e onde foram utilizados vários instrumentos e, entre eles, o IHS para avaliação de Habilidades Sociais, a Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) para avaliação da Psicopatologia e a Wechsler Abbrevited Scale of Intelligence (WASI) como medida geral de avaliação da inteligência. O estudo foi realizado no ambulatório de dois centros especializados (Projesq do Instituto de Psiquiatria do HC FMUSP e Proesq da Universidade Federal de São Paulo) nos quais 91 pacientes com diagnostico de esquizofrenia pelo DSM IV TR, com diferentes níveis de gravidade ( 62 refratários e 29 não refratários), foram comparados com controles 108 controles normais. Para comparação entre variáveis foram utilizados teste t de Student, Análise de Variância e Covariância e para o estudo das correlações um modelo de Regressão Linear. .Resultados: Pacientes com esquizofrenia apresentaram comprometimento significativamente maior de suas habilidades sociais, avaliadas pelos cinco fatores do IHS, quando comparados com controles normais, exceto para o Fator F5 (auto-controle da agressividade). Não foram encontradas diferenças de habilidades sociais entre os subgrupos de pacientes divididos de acordo com sua gravidade. Os fatores do IHS não se correlacionaram significativamente com as subescalas da PANSS, com exceção do fator F3 (conversação e desenvoltura social), que se correlacionou inversamente com a gravidade da subescala de Psicopatologia Geral da PANSS. Não foram observadas correlações entre os fatores do IHS e as três dimensões do WASI (Verbal, Execução e Total). CONCLUSÕES: O Inventário de Habilidades Sociais mostrou ser um instrumento capaz de detectar o comprometimento das habilidades sociais em pacientes com esquizofrenia, quando comparados com controles normais. Não foram observadas diferenças entre os subgrupos de pacientes quanto à gravidade do quadro, bem como em relação à maioria das variáveis psicopatológicas ou neuropsicológicas mensuradas, fazendo supor que as habilidades sociais representem uma dimensão independente do funcionamento social na esquizofrenia / AIM: To evaluate the use of Del Prettes Social Skills Inventory ( IHS) in the measurement of Social Skills e their correlations with psychopathological and neuropsychological variables in patients with schizophrenia comparing with normal controls. METHODS: This study is part of a clinical trial which evaluated the efficacy of Social Skills Training in patients with schizophrenia and which utilized several instruments such as the IHS for the evaluations of Social Skills, the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) for the evaluation of Psychopathology and the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence (WASI) as a measure of general intelligence. The study was developed in two specialized centers (Projesq of the Institute of Psychiatry of University of São Paulo General Hospital and Proesq of the Federal University of São Paulo) where 91 patients with a DSM IV_TR diagnostic of schizophrenia, with different levels of severity (62 refractory and 29 non refractory) were compared with 108 normal controls. Comparisons between variables were performed using t tests, Analysis of Variance and Covariance, and for correlations a Linear Regression Model. RESULTS: Patients with schizophrenia, when compared with normal controls, showed a significant impairment in their social skills, as measured by the 5 factors of the IHS, except for factor F5 (self control of aggression). Patients showed no differences in terms of social skills regarding severity. No significant correlations where found between the IHS factors the PANSS subscales, except the F3 factor (conversation and social performance) which inversely correlated with the General Psychopathology subscale. Additionally we found no correlations between IHS factors and the 3 WASI dimensions (Verbal, Executive and Total).CONCLUSIONS: The Social Skills Inventory was able to detect socials skills impairment in patients with schizophrenia, as compared to normal controls. No relationship were found between IHS and severity, psychopathology or cognitive measures and, therefore, we may hypothesize that Social Skills may represent and independent dimension of the social functioning in schizophrenia

To maximize this contribution, universal social skills programs should be tested and disseminated in schools, with effective participation of teachers, main mediators of interpersonal relationships in this environment. For this, it is necessary to investigate a set of practicable procedures, techniques, and resources in the classroom, attractive for both teachers and students. This study examined aspects of a universal program effectiveness, conducted by the teacher, using the audiovisual resources RMHSC-Del-Prette, which has already proved its effectiveness in selective programs conducted by a psychologist. The practicability and effectiveness of the program were evaluated in terms of: (a) impact on social skills, academic competence and behavior problems of all students from two classes, (b) impact on the repertoire of three children from each class with low academic performance, also evaluated on an ongoing basis, (c) integrity of the intervention applied by teachers. Two teachers and their students participated in three classes of fourth grade in a private school. The students evaluation was different for each class, in Class 1 only students with low academic performance (n = 3) were evaluated and in Class 2 (n = 13) and Class 3 (n = 14), all the students were evaluated. All children were assessed before and after the intervention, through the Social Skills Rating System (SSRS-BR) in its three versions. Before the intervention, the teachers were given a brief training course. The intervention program consisted of 11 sessions of 60 minutes each focusing on differents social skills and sequenced in complexity, which were previously evaluated by teachers. The results of SSRS-BR showed an improvement in Responsibility/Cooperation and Academic Competence in the overall assessment of students from two classes according to teachers evaluation; in Kindness and Self-Control and a decrease in Internalizing Behaviors (Class 2) according to parents evaluation. In relation to children with low academic performance, teachers evaluated that most children improved Responsibility / Cooperation and Academic Competence; the parents evaluated that children improved Global social skills Score, Cooperation and also decreased at least a score of Problematic behaviors; in self-assessment the children improved Self-Control. Data from continuous assessment of students with low academic performance indicated that most improved the quality of social skills after the intervention program. The intervention was implemented with integrity of 80% for Teacher 1 (Classes 1 and 3) and 75% for Teacher 2 (Class 2). In summary, the data indicated that the universal social skill program using the RMHSC-Del-Prette produced substantial changes, especially in cooperative behaviors in academic performance and behavior problems (parental assessment) when it was applied by the teacher, including children with low academic performance. It was found that, in implementing this program, the integrity equal to or above 75% was able to produce changes in children's behavior, however, the importance of teacher training and the importance of research about characteristics of the agent's intervention during the implementation of a program is discussed. / Pessoas com dificuldades de aprendizagem podem requerer recursos e estratégias educacionais diferenciados no ensino regular, tal como regulamentado pela política de inclusão, uma vez que apresentam desempenho acadêmico abaixo do esperado para a idade cronológica e série escolar em tarefas acadêmicas, influenciando o progresso escolar normal, o rendimento acadêmico geral, o desenvolvimento socioemocional e outros aspectos de ajustamento. Estudos sugerem uma relação entre habilidades sociais e dificuldades de aprendizagem, indicando que o Treinamento em Habilidades Sociais (THS) pode favorecer o desempenho acadêmico. Os programas de THS para escolares constituem uma alternativa relevante de ser investigada, em seus efeitos para o rendimento acadêmico e no desenvolvimento de recursos e estratégias de intervenção. Considerando a relevância de produzir recursos, para utilização no ensino regular, que auxiliem a população com dificuldade de aprendizagem, os indicadores negativos da dificuldade de aprendizagem na qualidade de vida e a relação exposta na literatura entre habilidades sociais e dificuldades de aprendizagem, esta pesquisa envolveu a elaboração de um programa de intervenção em habilidades sociais em contexto escolar e teve como objetivo a identificação dos efeitos de um programa de THS, que teve como base do procedimento a utilização das vinhetas de vídeo do Recurso Multimídia de Habilidades Sociais para Crianças (RMHSC-Del-Prette), sobre o repertório de habilidades sociais e acadêmico de crianças com dificuldade de aprendizagem. A pesquisa envolveu dois estudos que utilizaram os mesmos instrumentos e procedimento, tendo o Estudo I, delineamento experimental, e o Estudo II, séries temporais. O Estudo I teve como participantes 14 crianças com dificuldade de aprendizagem com idade média 9,4 anos, sendo 9 meninas e 5 meninos, que foram alocados aleatoriamente em dois grupos, o Experimental (G1) e o Controle (G2). O Estudo II envolveu 9 crianças, 6 do sexo feminino e 3 do masculino com idade média de 9,5. Antes da intervenção, as crianças foram avaliadas por meio do Critério Brasil, Teste de Desempenho Escolar, Sistema de Avaliação de habilidades sociais (SSRS-BR) nas três versões de avaliação (pais, professores e autoavaliação) e Avaliação com role-play breve (RPB). Após a intervenção, as crianças foram reavaliadas somente com SSRS-BR e Avaliação RPB. Ao longo do programa, as crianças foram avaliadas por meio da Avaliação RPB, a fim de identificar seus progressos. Foram realizadas 22 sessões de intervenção no Estudo I e 20 no Estudo II, todas com duração de 70 minutos. Durante a intervenção utilizou-se o RMHSC-Del-Prette que contém vinhetas de vídeo para a promoção de habilidades sociais, conforme sugestão de uso dos autores. O procedimento de intervenção incluiu a apresentação das vinhetas de vídeo com discussões, atividades lúdicas e utilização de técnicas cognitivo-comportamentais como reforçamento, modelagem, modelação, role-play etc. No Estudo I, análises inferenciais indicaram que G1 apresentou ganhos estatisticamente maiores em habilidades sociais e competência acadêmica quando comparado ao G2, segundo os três informantes. Em relação à avaliação contínua, foi possível verificar que à medida que as habilidades sociais eram ensinadas os participantes as adquiriram e as mantiveram ao longo do THS. Comparando G1 e G2 nas avaliações contínuas pode-se observar que os participantes do G1 apresentaram melhor desempenho em todas as classes após a intervenção. No Estudo II, após a intervenção, G3 apresentou aumento na freqüência de habilidades sociais nas avaliações dos três informantes. Nas avaliações contínuas mostraram que após o ensino de cada classe os participantes adquiriram e/ou aperfeiçoaram as habilidades sociais. Concluiu-se que o procedimento de intervenção com a utilização das vinhetas de vídeo foi capaz de produzir mudanças no repertório de habilidades sociais e competência acadêmica de crianças com dificuldade de aprendizagem e pode ser sugerido como base para intervenções preventivas do tipo universais em salas de aulas.

Approximately 20% of students with emotional and behavioral disorders (E/BD) are sent to an alternative campus for their lack of social competence. Social skills training (SST) is an evidence-based intervention to help increase social competence for students with E/BD, but there is limited research that addresses SST for students with E/BD at alternative campuses. A mixed-methods design was utilized to examine SST at an alternative campus for students with E/BD. Pre-intervention data were collected for students' attendance, grades, office disciplinary referrals, and behavioral rating scales, after which, the Why Try SST program was implemented. Following the intervention, the same type of data were collected. Nonparametric statistics guided the quantitative analysis, because of the small population being studied. Differences from pre- to post-intervention were examined. Triangulation methods drove the qualitative data collection and analysis through observations, student interviews, and teacher interviews. Students exhibited significant differences from pre- to post-intervention in the number of office disciplinary referrals and several areas on the behavioral rating scales. Important insight into motivation and perceptions was gained through the observations and interviews.

The purpose of the present study was to compare a traditional therapeutic technique (client-centered) to a structured social skills training package in the group treatment of adolescents with school and social adjustment problems, An additional consideration was made of the efficacy of the specific training program used as applied to this population. Seven indices of change (four of which are behavioral and three self-report) were included in the study as dependent variables. Subjects were students attending an "alternative" high school whose population consisted primarily of pre-adjudicated juvenile delinquents, status offenders, and other students experiencing various social adjustment difficulties in more traditional high school environments.

I denna studie undersöks hur bordsrollspel kan användas i en behandlingskontext. För att studera detta har vi genomfört en kvalitativ studie av verksamma utövares medverkan i podcaster och panelsamtal uppladdade på Youtube där de berättar om metoden. Resultatet visar att bordsrollspel används i två, delvis överlappande, syften: social färdighetsträning och behandling av psykisk ohälsa. Bordsrollspel beskrivs som en social aktivitet med många inneboende positiva följder för spelaren, exempelvis ökad samarbetsförmåga, perspektivtagande och känsloreglering. När aktiviteten leds av en tränad behandlare kan spelet användas för att nå uttalade terapeutiska mål. Detta ställer emellertid stora krav på spelledaren som behöver ha god kännedom om både behandling och spelet. Behandlingen riktar sig främst till ungdomar med svårigheter med socialt samspel, men den har också potential att användas med vuxna klienter. För att diskutera materialet har ett symbolisk interaktionistiskt perspektiv använts. / This study examines how tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) can be used as an intervention. We have conducted a qualitative study of practitioners' participation in podcasts and panel discussions published on Youtube where they talk about TTRPGs as an intervention. The results demonstrate how TTRPGs are utilized with two, partially overlapping purposes: social skills training and treatment for mental health conditions. TTRPGs are described as a social activity with a number of inherent benefits for the player, such as increased collaboration skills, perspective-taking and emotional regulation. Whilst being led by a trained professional the game can be used as a tool to reach defined therapeutic goals. This, however, requires the game master to be well-versed in both the role of therapist as well as game master. The intervention studied is primarily used with adolescents struggling with social interactions, but also has potential to be used with adult clients. To discuss the results a symbolic interactionist perspective has been used.

Socialt samspel är en viktig komponent för individens utveckling av verklighetsuppfattning, personlighet och identitet. Eftersom barn och ungdomar med autism har nedsättningar som påverkar deras sociala samspel blir insatser kring social färdighetsträning en åtgärd som påverkar deras och hela deras familjs livskvalitet. Denna studie undersöker hur praktisk användning av den manualbaserade sociala färdighetsträningen KONTAKT-gruppbehandling upplevs av vårdpersonal i Sverige. Kvalitativa intervjuer har genomförts med 17 personer inom vård som har erfarenhet att vara KONTAKT-tränare från sex olika regioner i Sverige. Frågeställningar som lyftes i denna studie handlar om i) Hur uppfattar vårdpersonalen användningen av den manualbaserade sociala färdighetsträningen KONTAKT i arbetet med barn och ungdomar med autism och deras föräldrar? ii) Vilka upplevelser har vårdpersonalen av sin roll som KONTAKT-tränare? och iii) Finns det eventuella gap mellan teori och praktik kring användningen av den manualbaserade träningen av sociala färdigheter KONTAKT inom olika delar av vårdverksamheten? Utifrån grundad teori har en teoretisk modell genererats som beskriver respondenternas upplevelse av KONTAKT-tränarens roll, vilken påverkar och påverkas av tidsaspekter och samspelsförmågor. Studiens resultat indikerar att känslan av meningsfullhet och lärdom genom erfarenhet upplevs i rollen som KONTAKT-tränare. Studien visar att med rollen följer ett ansvar att planera och rekrytera deltagarna till KONTAKT-gruppbehandling. Rollen som KONTAKT-tränare beskrevs av respondenterna påverkas av tidsaspekter som kopplas till det praktiska utförandet utifrån behandlingsmanualen. Studiens resultat indikerar att det i rollen som KONTAKT-tränare krävs en förmåga att samspela med föräldrar, andra i team (kring rekrytering), partner/kollega (den andra KONTAKT-tränaren) och barn eller unga med autism inför och under pågående gruppbehandling. I studien diskuteras implikationer för organisation och implementering. Det långsiktiga syftet med denna studie är att bidra till utveckling av insatser som stödjer barn och ungdomar med autism och deras anhöriga. / Social interaction is an important component for the individual's development of perception of reality, personality, and identity. Because children and adolescents with autism have disabilities that affect their social interaction, interventions in social skills training become a measure that affects their and their entire family's quality of life. This study examines how practical use of the manual-based group training treatment KONTAKT is experienced by clinicians in Sweden. Qualitative interviews with altogether 17 caregivers from six different regions in Sweden were conducted with the aim of answering the following research questions: i) How do caregivers perceive the use of the manual-based social skills training concept KONTAKT when working with children and adolescents with autism and their parents? ii) What experiences do the caregivers have in their role as a KONTAKT coach? and iii) Are there any gaps between theory and practice regarding the use of the manual-based social skills training concept KONTAKT in different areas of care giving activities? Based on grounded theory, a theoretical model has been generated that describes the respondents' experience of the role as a KONTAKT coach, a role that affects and is affected by time aspects and cooperation ability. The results of the study indicate that the feeling of meaningfulness and learning through experience is experienced in the role as a KONTAKT coach. The study shows that the role comes with a responsibility to plan and recruit participants for KONTAKT group treatment. The role as a KONTAKT coach was described by the respondents as affected by time aspects that are linked to the practical implementation of the manual. The results of the study indicate that the role as a KONTAKT coach requires the ability to interact with parents, others in the team (around recruitment), partners / colleagues (the other KONTAKT coach) and children or adolescents with autism before and during ongoing group treatment. The study discusses implications for the organization and implementation of the treatment. The purpose of this study is to contribute to the development of interventions that support children and adolescents with autism and their relatives.

To better understand the difficulties and strengths associated with both high and low functioning individuals with an autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), the hyper-systemising theory has been proposed by Baron-Cohen and colleagues. It explains the social and communication difficulties in autism and Asperger syndrome (AS) by reference to delays and deficits in empathy, whilst explaining the areas of strength by reference to intact or even superior skill in systemising (Baron-Cohen, 2002). The evidence for hypersystemising alongside hypo-empathising in autism, suggests a corresponding desire to systemise the social world. Based on this theory, the use of technology in supporting the development of social and communication skills in children with an ASD is discussed. Technology and computers rely on strict, predictable systems made up of sets of rules that can be programmed, determined and understood. Use of such technology to assist in the development of social skills in an individual with an ASD utilises an existing area of strength and engages a person in an often existing area of interest and/or obsession. This thesis describes an exploratory study using non-humanoid robots with a group of young people with either high-functioning autism (HFA) or AS, which aimed to use robots as a focus of shared attention in a more naturally occurring and systemisable environment; thus promoting more implicit learning of social skills for this clinical group. Ten children attended the ‘robot club’ for eight sessions enabling a design using a series of single case studies pooled together for multiple and individual base line comparisons. The results indicate improvements as rated by parents and the young people themselves (although not by teachers), with some evidence of statistical and clinically significant changes, for example, in communication skills specifically and with general difficulties associated with autism. The results were found to be affected by total number of sessions attended, but not by age or academic functioning. Possible implications of the findings are presented in line with theory and for clinical practise. Limitations of the study are discussed and suggestions for future research made.

Socialinių paslaugų sistema Lietuvoje dar tik formuojasi, todėl nėra aiškios įstaigų veiklos galimybės.
