The purpose of this study was to explore existential group art therapy (EGAT) as an alternate or integrated method in treating clients with substance abuse and a history of trauma. Subjects for this study were male and/or female adults, ages 18 and older, volunteer participants who were in treatment for substance addiction at Tarzana Treatment Centers. A group of seven participants who met the criteria for both substance abuse and history of trauma received Existential Group Art Therapy (EGAT) treatment for eight consecutive weeks. Participants were asked to fill out the Scale for Existential Thinking (SET) at the start of the group and at the end of the treatment process to determine whether or not there was an increase in “existential thinking” following eight weeks of EGAT. The group engaged in the art-making process and discussion of their artwork each week, and were asked to answer Post Group Survey Questions (PGSQ) after the termination of the group. This study details four of the seven participants since they attended most consistently and were deeply engaged in the process. The statistical significance of the observed results was measured using a paired two sample for means T-test (one-tailed). Changes in SET scores were deemed to be statistically significant with a result of p

Este trabalho apresenta investigação realizada a partir de interrogantes emergentes em projeto de Acompanhamento Psicológico oferecido para adolescentes em privação de liberdade. A prática clínica oferecida aos jovens insere-se no projeto de Atenção Psicológica em Instituições do Laboratório de Estudos e Prática de Psicologia Fenomenológica Existencial do IPUSP. Para contextualizar a construção da modalidade clínica em andamento no projeto retoma-se a história do laboratório e as origens teóricas da prática psicológica por ele desenvolvida. Esta re-visitação lança questionamentos às transformações ocorridas no campo do exercício clínico a partir do estudo e reflexão da Fenomenologia Existencial como referencial filosófico que influencia a pesquisa e intervenção em Psicologia. Após apresentação da história do projeto de acompanhamento, situa-se o leitor no contexto institucional em que este se realiza. Posteriormente, apresenta-se o caminho percorrido junto a adolescentes atendidos, ou em atendimento, no projeto de acompanhamento psicológico. A procura de sentido da atenção psicológica realiza-se pela via da análise interpretativa de narrativas de jovens que relatam o modo como compreendem sua experiência de atendimento. Diários de bordo de atendimentos e de supervisão do projeto oferecem-se como complemento dessas narrativas na tessitura de sentido da ação clínica realizada em instituição para jovens que cumprem medida sócio-educativa de internação. / This work presents an investigation based on questions that emerged from a research on Psychological Accompanying Project for adolescents under freedom deprivation. The clinical practice offered to the juveniles is a part of a Psychological Attention Project at Institutions of the Laboratory of Studies and Practices on Existential Phenomenological Psychology of the IPUSP. In order to contextualize the development of the projects ongoing clinical approach, we revisited the laboratory history and the theoretical origins of its psychological practice. This review raises questions referring to the changes that occurred in the field of the clinical practice due to the reflections brought by the study of the Existential Phenomenology as a philosophical referential that affects psychological research and intervention. After the presentation of the history of the Psychological Accompanying Project, the reader is brought to the institutional context in which it takes place. Subsequent to that, the steps are presented, which were taken along with both of the adolescents that have received psychological care and the ones under treatment in the Psychological Accompanying Project. The search for a sense in psychological attention is carried out through the interpretative analysis of the stories narrated by juveniles describing the way they experienced psychological care. Log books of the projects psychological sessions as well as the supervisions ones complement the narratives in the construction of the sense of the clinical approach done at an institution for adolescents subjected to social-educational freedom deprivation measure.
