Neuropsychological assessment and psychoeducation of patients diagnosed with psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) Mgr. Lucia Hrešková Tutor: Assoc. Prof. Lenka Krámská, Ph.D. Abstract: The term psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) refers to a conversion disorder (300.11) imitating epileptic seizures that are psychological etiology (DSM-5). Neuropsychological assessment including personality profile and mood status is an integral part of the diagnosis and treatment of PNES. The main treatment is psychotherapy. In the theoretical part of this research project, we have processed psychoeducation guide for clinical psychologists and psychotherapists working with patients diagnosed with PNES, based on recommended standards (Myers, 2014; LaFrance & Wincze, 2015; Reiter et al., 2015) and long-term clinical experiences with these patients (in particular Assoc. Prof. Lenka Kramska, Ph.D.). The purpose of our research project was to assess the presence of maladaptive emotional regulation in the profile of patients diagnosed with PNES (N = 51) compared to healthy populations (N = 51), through self-report questionnaires Affective Style Questionnaire (ASQ) and Difficulty in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS). The results of our research show a significantly higher level of maladaptive emotional regulation in the...

abstract: Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES), is a conversion disorder thought to be linked to unresolved emotional distress. While some studies suggest that PNES patients do not attribute their somatic symptoms to severe psychological experiences (Stone, Binzer, & Sharpe, 2004; LaFrance & Barry, 2005), it is unclear what PNES patients do think causes their seizures, and the psychological consequences of those attributions. The aim of the present study was to investigate PNES patients' attributions for their seizures, and to determine how these attributions relate to stress and emotion regulation. It was hypothesized that participants who attribute their seizures to something (i.e., have an explanation for their seizures) will have lower perceived stress and less difficulty with emotion regulation than those who are unsure of the cause of their seizures. Twenty-four PNES participants completed a questionnaire assessing seizure diagnosis, characteristics of seizure impact, perceived stress, psychological symptoms, emotion regulation, attributions for seizures, and coping resources. Contrary to the hypothesis, having an explanation for seizures, rather than being “unsure” of seizure cause, was related to greater perceived stress. While it would seem that attributing unpredictable seizure events to a cause would lower perceived stress and emotion regulation difficulty, this study indicates that an attribution to an unknown cause may be more beneficial for the individual. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.S.

Intenciona contribuir na problematização das questões relacionadas à implementação da proposta de transformar as escolas públicas brasileiras em espaços ou territórios educadores sustentáveis. O estudo evidencia contextos, potencialidades, problemas e desafios a partir das ações de implementação e de gestão, na ótica de gestores do PNES do MEC e também na visão de profissionais de Universidades parceiras. Os objetivos específicos foram: compreender os sentidos atribuídos à escola sustentável nos documentos oficiais e em depoimentos dos gestores do MEC e de parceiros que tratam do tema; identificar os principais problemas e desafios enfrentados, ao longo da implementação do PNES, além de pesquisar os processos de formação de professores e estudantes na perspectiva de escolas sustentáveis. Como lentes conceituais de aproximação com o tema foram utilizados os conceitos: Sustentabilidade, Educação Ambiental, Práticas Ecopedagógicas, Permacultura e Topofilia. Constituíram como processos metodológicos qualitativos: a pesquisa documental e entrevistas semiestruturadas. Os depoimentos apontam como problema e desafio a descontinuidade e a frágil institucionalização da educação ambiental e, por conseguinte, a vulnerabilidade de suas ferramentas de execução, a exemplo do Programa Dinheiro Direto na Escola (PDDE). Por fim, constatou-se que essa proposta de política pública, de significativo valor para as escolas que a acolheram e mobilizam suas comunidades, está sob ameaça uma vez que, neste momento da história, considerando-se a correlação de forças políticas, há significativo poder de intervenção de correntes do antiambientalismo e de antiecologistas, somando-se àquelas contrárias às políticas públicas que qualificam a educação pela inserção de temas contemporâneos, tais como a educação ambiental, as questões de gênero e diversidade. / This research comprises an investigation and reflection on the National Program for Sustainable Schools (PNES) of the Ministry of Education of Brazil (MEC). It intends to contribute with the problematization of concerning issues related to the implementation of the proposal to promote the public Brazilian schools onto sustainable educational territories. The conducted studies reveal contexts, potential, problems and challenges facing the implementation of actions and management in view of the Ministry´s PNES executives and the partner universities professionals. The specific objectives were: the understanding of the meanings attributed to sustainable school in the official documents as well as in the testimonies of the ministry of education managers and partners on the same matter; identify the main problems and challenges faced during the implementation of the PNES and, ultimately, research the education process for teachers, students and the educational community from the perspective of sustainable schools. As theoretical lenses for approaching the theme, the following concepts were used: Sustainability, Environmental Education, Ecopedagogical Practices, Permaculture and Topophilia. The methodological qualitative processes were constituted by documentary research and semi-structured interviews. The statements show discontinuity and fragile institutionalization of Environmental Education, associated with the vulnerability of its tools of implementation, such as Direct Money at School Program (PDDE), as problems and challenges. Finally, it was found that this public policy proposal, of significant value to the schools that have welcomed the proposal and mobilized their communities, is currently at risk due to the fact that, at this time of Brazilian history, considering the political correlation of forces, there is currently meaningful power of interference of conservative anti-envirotmentalism and anti-ecologist networks, in addition to those who oppose to public policies that qualify education by including contemporary themes such as environmental education, the gender issues and diversity.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Lucilia Alves Cunha.pdf: 490819 bytes, checksum: 5f24ab2595d9494f821300688a31d3fd (MD5) Previous issue date: 2005-03-31 / This thesis seeks the inclusion of teenagers in Catholic cathecism meetings who present some type of disability and, consequently, the manner which their participation and communion occur in the life of the community. It also establishes a parallel to the principles of Education for Everyone in light of Inclusive Education and the paradigm of Jesus´ pedagogy. A brief allusion is given in regard to questions pertaining to corporality as relating to constructs and representations of the image of God felt in the hearts of young people and teenagers whose bodies differ from the norm established as a standard in reference to corporal normality . The concept of resilience is treated so as to alert those who deal with handicapped teenagers in order to fortify them in handling the confrontation of clashes and challenges inherent to the everyday life of these young adults, thus contributing to overcome stigmas and prejudices that are also verified here in this research paper without pretending an exhaustive exposition. / Esta dissertação tem como foco a inclusão de adolescentes, que apresentam algum tipo de deficiência, nos encontros catequéticos e conseqüentemente, como se dá sua comunhão e participação na vida da comunidade. Estabelece ainda, um paralelo com os princípios da Educação para Todos no vértice da Educação Inclusiva e o paradigma da pedagogia de Jesus. Apresenta uma breve referência sobre o potencial das questões de corporeidade no processo das construções e representações da imagem de Deus no coração de jovens cujo corpo é desviante frente aos padrões estabelecidos como normalidade corpórea. Também o conceito de resiliência é tratado no sentido de alertar aqueles que lidam com jovens com deficiência para a possibilidade desse construto ser fortalecido no enfrentamento dos embates e desafios inerentes à cotidianidade desses jovens adolescentes, contribuindo na superação de estigmas e preconceitos, também aqui referendados sem a pretensão de uma exaustiva exposição.
