A partir da intersecção entre a psicologia e a fenomenologia hermenêutica de Martin Heidegger, pretendeu-se discutir a postura do profissional clínico que trabalha sob essa perspectiva, com fundamento no pensamento do autor, incluindo, principalmente, suas obras tardias e suas considerações sobre arte e linguagem. Construímos uma pesquisa qualitativa, interdisciplinar, que tangencia as áreas da psicologia, filosofia e arte. Por meio das considerações críticas fenomenológicas de Martin Heidegger, discutimos sobre a concepção de verdade que rege a psicologia enquanto ciência moderna e tange as práticas psicológicas na atualidade. Recorremos à fenomenologia hermenêutica como uma potência de superação de dicotomias. Para ilustrarmos o campo da práxis da psicologia fenomenológico-hermenêutica, entrevistamos profissionais que trabalham sob essa perspectiva. Por meio deste estudo, pretendemos levantar as problemáticas envolvendo a fenomenologia enquanto abordagem psicológica e apontar possíveis caminhos de superação dessas problemáticas, desvendando possibilidades de uma psicologia diferente a partir, como se afirmou, das contribuições da fenomenologia hermenêutica de Martin Heidegger e das suas considerações sobre a arte e a linguagem / From the intersection of psychology and the hermeneutic phenomenology of Martin Heidegger, the intention of this work was to discuss the attitude of the clinic professional that works under this perspective, based on the author\'s thought, including, particularly, his later works and his considerations on art and language. We have built a qualitative, interdisciplinary research, which touches the areas of psychology, philosophy and art. Through the critical phenomenological considerations of Martin Heidegger, we discussed the conception of truth that rules psychology as a modern science and that relates to present psychological practices. We resort to hermeneutic phenomenology as a power of overcoming dichotomies. To illustrate the field of práxis of phenomenological hermeneutic psychology, we interviewed professionals working from that perspective. Through this study, we intend to raise issues involving phenomenology as psychological approach and point out possible ways of overcoming these problems, revealing possibilities of a different psychology from, as stated, the contributions of Martin Heidegger\'s hermeneutic phenomenology and his considerations on art and language

These professionals face a lack of preparation to deal with religious questions within their practices. Most studies handle the subject matter highlighting its difficulties, so it is important to address it through its positive aspects. Thus, the purpose of this dissertation is to question and comprehend the ability of the supervisor, which is the professional who deals with the subject of Psychology and religion among the trainees in school clinics, in order the students feel comfortable. To reach this purpose, three interviews were conducted with a school clinic supervisor, selected by the students as someone who welcomes questions related to the religious dimension. A qualitative research was developed on a phenomenological basis, and aimed to investigate the supervisor s experiences through semi-structured interviews. The interviews´ analysis pointed out that it is possible to welcome religious questions that emerge during supervision as any other topic, and that this welcoming is provided by a significant learning approach, as a result of a transforming dialogic-based relationship provided by an active listening. This relationship allows the student to talk about this subject without the fear of being judged; the supervisor takes into consideration her students´ life experiences, focusing her own feelings and thoughts so it is possible for the students to open themselves to the others. Her attitude is influenced by her vision of mankind, her life experiences, her theoretical approach and how she conceives religion. Knowing the experience of the teacher, who is seen by the students as someone who can embrace the themes of religion may help others responsible for the training of psychologists, to provide conditions for students to reflect without fear and prejudice on religious matters and their role in human life / A literatura aponta que a religião é um tema, muitas vezes, negligenciado pelos profissionais de Psicologia. Há ausência de preparo do psicólogo para lidar com as questões religiosas em sua prática. A maior parte dos estudos aborda o assunto assinalando as dificuldades e, por essa razão, é interessante abordá-lo por seu viés positivo. Dessa maneira, o objetivo desta dissertação é conhecer e compreender a experiência do supervisor que lida com o tema psicologia e religião com seus estagiários na clínica-escola de forma a que estes se sintam acolhidos. Para atingir esse objetivo, foram realizadas três entrevistas com uma supervisora de clínica-escola, apontada por seus alunos como acolhedora de questões relacionadas à dimensão religiosa do homem. Foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa qualitativa de base fenomenológica, a qual procurou investigar as vivências da supervisora por meio de entrevistas semidirigidas. A análise das entrevistas dialogou com autores da abordagem fenomenológica e que trabalham com o tema da psicologia e da religião. Este estudo permitiu apontar que é possível acolher as questões religiosas que emergem nas supervisões como qualquer outro tema, esse acolhimento é proporcionado por meio de uma aprendizagem significativa, proporcionada por um ouvir ativo estabelecido numa relação dialógica transformadora; essa relação permite ao aluno falar sobre o tema sem receio de ser julgado; a supervisora leva em consideração as vivências de seus alunos dirigindo o seu olhar para os próprios sentimentos e pensamentos, possibilitando que se abram ao outro. Sua postura é influenciada pela sua visão de homem, pelas vivências que se deram ao longo de sua vida, por sua abordagem teórica e pela maneira como concebe e vive a religião. Conhecer a experiência do professor que é visto pelos seus alunos como alguém capaz de acolher os temas da religião poderá auxiliar outros responsáveis pela formação do psicólogo, a propiciarem condições aos alunos para refletirem sem temor e preconceito sobre as questões religiosas e seu papel na vida humana

The practice of displaying young children’s visual artwork in early childhood classrooms poses a number of questions about the child and his or her work. Following Giorgi’s approach to phenomenological research, this thesis focused on children’s lived experiences of art display. 13 children between the ages of 4 and 6 years attending an independent school outside metropolitan Detroit, Michigan (USA) disclosed their experiences of seeing their artwork on display. Dr Boone’s study revealed that, despite clear evidence of children’s strong views, decisions about the display of artwork continue to rest with adults.

目的：聾人以手語、口語、口手語三種方式作為溝通管道並以視覺體察世界，本研究回顧特教、心理、輔具三方面近幾年研究上對聾人的描述，試圖從中整理出各專業領域對聾人的觀點，以及尚未回應到的面向。三個領域由不同方向描述聾人樣貌，卻也帶出一般社會對健康的預設，且過去所使用的研究方法大部分透過問卷調查或與聽人比較之下得來的結果。聾人自我內涵受限於語言的隔閡，自我的默存現象在問卷架構的框架中並未獲得開展，故本研究嘗試以現象學心理學質性訪談的方式，嘗試揭露其寓居於世的自我樣貌。本研究目的有二：一是藉由研究者與聾人進行手語質性晤談，探索聾人自我認同形成過程期間會經歷過什麼樣的生命經驗，而聾人又是如何看待這些經驗並從中反思此我在世的意義；二是聾人對現今自我的現象描述，探索其目前寓居於世的樣貌，並跳脫既有特教與輔具看待聾人的觀點，重新論述沉默對聾人存有的意涵。 方法：本研究於為聾人服務的協會，徵求慣用自然手語的聾人共六位。資料蒐集後，以李維倫與賴憶嫺（2009）的現象學分析方法進行分析，呈現六位聾人的置身結構。 結果與討論：一、聾人經由配戴輔具以及與聽人相處的域外經驗，意識到內在憂懼情緒與不安全感，但也讓聾人開始思考此我的本真，並在屬己與陷溺間做出決斷。而聾人經由各種以退為進的「離席」形式，漸漸退居聽人社會的邊緣，讓此有在沉默中仍能保留位格，這是「去中心」的策略，離開喧囂而在沉默中開展本真自我。二、眼睛的凝視象徵聾人對世界的「參與」以及「我在」，手語為穿越象徵符號的「真實界」，是聾人寓居於世立命的根基，而手語具有一種情感性理解的視覺圖像的對比，而不僅是語言聽覺層次的撫慰或宣稱，能與他人建立起緊密深刻的連結。三、聾人自我「聽不見」的匱乏造就了寂靜之聲的決斷，逐步抵達聾人自我的存有本體性，聾人有其置身所在的自我，其與聽人自我為質性上的不同，而非聽損程度量上的差異。 結語：本研究避開過往將聾人視為缺損者的語境所塑造的小寫文化（deaf culture）的論述，語意學轉向大寫文化（Deaf Culture）重構理解聾人的置身所在，指出將聽力喪失（hearing loss）轉化為能力獲得（ability gaining），進而提出臨床實務的反思。 / Purpose: Deaf people have different ways to contact with people, that is, sign language, learn speaking, or use both ways to communicate. In order to criticize the current views about the deaf from the ableism in past decades, critical reviews of the related domains are articulated, including “deaf children’s special education,” “psychological health” and “hearing aid/ cochlear implant.” The accomplished goal among the three domains is all to try to improve the deficiency from the adaptive view and expect deaf people to adjust their life in the hearing-like way. A few of studies under the ableism used the questionnaires to collect data to understand the deaf. However, it is the outsider view and the state of mind of the deaf is restricted by the questionnaire design. Methods: The phenomenological psychology approach is adopted to explore the experiences of the “Deaf-Self” to avoid the ableism trap; it is the Epoch attitude to understand who they are and their modes of existences. Six deaf participants were interviewed through sign language. The data analysis procedures of carrying out phenomenological psychology were based on six steps: data collection, empathic immersion, meaning units, constituent themes, situated structure, and general structure. Results and discussion: First, deaf people feel alien to life word in the ontological insecurity meaning when they use the hearing-aid devices. To preserve their authentic life world, deaf people community is built in silence beyond the hearing world that is designed under the normative adaptive views. The Deaf did not think they are disabling so it is not necessary to adjust to live into the “normal” world. Second, the way they express the sign language through focusing their eyes is meant “presence” and “engaging,” they always gaze at everything carefully and attentively. Sign language is the root of the deaf-identity. When deaf people use sign language, it means they can give their voices to the world from the authentic self. Sign language is not only a skill which makes deaf people to communicate with each other smoothly, but also is the affection and vitality in itself; it is beyond the symbolic meaning to reach the close relationships to each other. Third, ‘hearing-loss’ is not equivalent to ‘disability’, it means different modes of existences. Conclusion: We turn the deficiency conceptualization to the “ability gaining” perspective to construct the ‘Deaf Culture’ to propose the Deaf and hearing people are different from their cultures and habitus; it is not the severity of hearing impairments to distinguish them. They present the ability diversity and unique way of being-in-the-world. The clinical practice is discussed from the outcome implications.

O objetivo deste estudo foi refletir sobre o paciente grande queimado na situação-limite em que se encontra, e quais os recursos psicológicos presentes para que ele possa enfrentar, junto com as ações da equipe de saúde, o tratamento necessário. O adoecimento agudo põe este ser/paciente numa situação de (des)continuidade existencial. Desestabiliza-se emocionalmente, pela experiência vivida e pelo seu alto grau de morbidade. Precisa de força para suportar e enfrentar o tratamento e se (re)conhecer em seu sofrimento. Para compreender como essa experiência acontece e que sentido o paciente dá à situação, escolhi uma metodologia de cunho fenomenológico existencial e, através de entrevistas com os pacientes e com os profissionais da equipe, fui percorrendo o caminho que cunhei vividação, articulando-o ao que os estudiosos do cuidado podiam me dizer. Ouvindo as narrativas, pude concluir que, nessa experiência, a angústia revela-se, por um lado, pela incerteza e, por outro lado, pela certeza da finitude. Tanto no limite do paciente, quanto no cuidado da equipe hospitalar, ela é uma só. Ouvindo Frankl encontrei o sentido da vividação na coragem, na esperança e na solidariedade, enquanto que à luz de Heidegger, a angústia mobiliza o cuidar de si e o encontrar-se na solicitude, indicando que vividação é ação vívida e percorre a serenidade para manter-se corajosamente sendo / The main goal of this research is to reflect on the severely-burned patient who is in a limit situation and who has been offered current psychological help, so that he/she is able to face the necessary treatment. This severe health situation leads the patient into a deep depression and consequently makes him/her feel that his/her life may come to an end some time in the near future. Therefore the severely-ill patients feel themselves depressed and helpless. Because they underwent very serious burns and due to their high level of morbidity they feel emotinally impaired. They need strength so that they are able to stand and face treatment. Moreover, they need to be conscious of their own deep suffering in order to face it with courage and in a positive way. The methodology chosen has a phenomenal and existential basis. Hence interviews were made with the patients and the medical staff as well so that one can understand how this tough experience happens and also what it means to the patient. Based on the patients report it was found that they feel anxious and anguished both for not knowing what is ahead for them, e. g. if they will get better and also because they are aware of death: they know they may die! The author decides to name vividação that very situation which Frankl mentions when the patients make use of their own courage, hope and sympathy to overcome anxiety and suffering. Heidegger thinks that anguish and anxiety both force the patients to care for themselves, and turn them strong in their deep inner loneliness. This fact shows that vividação is in fact ação vivida, e. g. the patients themselves fighting to defeat all that anguish, anxiety and suffering

Considerando a experiência de aflição da criança queimada hospitalizada, buscou-se pensar, como maior propriedade, sobre os modelos assistenciais clínicos instituídos, disponibilizados no atendimento a sua demanda psicológica. Nessa perspectiva, ao pesquisar sobre o saber/fazer clínico psicológico, revelaram-se múltiplas atitudes, ações, intervenções, orientações, interpretações, possíveis e cabíveis, ao psicológico na relação/cuidado com o sujeito. Lançando como profissional e/ou pesquisador no vasto campo da clínica psicológica , é importante compreender o que facilita ou dificulta uma ação situada. Parte-se de uma compreensão de ação implicada como constituinte no modo de ser humano: sujeito que age. Assim, este trabalho visa, a partir de uma experiência específica, trazer um outro olhar, ressignificando o fazer clínico psicológico no contexto do hospital, à luz da fenomenologia existencial e de dispositivos para a ação clínica psicológica. Recorreu- se à metodologia qualitativa, inspirada na figura do narrador e amparada no método fenomenológico para interpretação. A matéria-prima desta obra consiste em narrativas da experiência do psicólogo/pesquisador e dos interlocutores nos atendimentos, criança e sua mãe, no Centro de Tratamento de Queimados, além de relatos de profissionais dessa mesma equipe de saúde. Ao final, procurou-se uma articulação entre o conhecimento vivido/afetivo e o conhecimento teórico, a partir do diálogo com autores. Vislumbrou-se que a ação psicológica no C.T.Q. situa-se no campo teórico-prático do Aconselhamento Psicológico, como prática clínico- psicológica e educacional, numa dimensão interdisciplinar de ação social clínica. Foram, ainda, evidenciadas peculiaridades da comunicação entre a psicóloga, a criança e sua mãe, compreendidas como utensílios/utilitários facilitadores da intervenção psicológica. Espera-se, com este trabalho, apontar aberturas para ousadias responsáveis na atuação clínica, com implicações para o estudo e prática interdisciplinar / Considering the pain and suffering of the burned child who is in hospital, this author was concerned mostly with the kinds of current clinical help which are offered by the psychology professionals staff. From this view point when one researched about the saber fazer, that is, the psychological and clinical know-how, there were a great number of possibilities as to the fazer saber, e.g. how to reach the suffering child in his/her innerself and let him/her know that there is someone who in fact can help. It was found out that there were a number of attitudes, actions, interventation and interpretation which the psychologist could make use of in his relationship and care for the subject, the burned child. Therefore, the psychologist and/or researcher should be conscious about how broad the psychological clinical field is, and further he/she needs to understand clearly what may help as well as what may prevent a certain contextual action. One should start from understanding the subjects individual experience as a unique human being. This study aims to take a rather different look at the burned child specific experience, and tries to provide a new meaning to the psychological clinical action, inside a hospital, enlightened by both the existential phenomenon and attitudes for the psychological clinical action. The qualitative methodology was chosen, and it was inspired by the narrator himself. It was also supported by the phenomenal method for interpretation. The material analysed is made up of narratives based on the psychologist/researcher experiences, as well as from the burned child and the mother, who were in the Burned Treatment Center (BTC). In addition, reports from professionals belonging to the same health staff were considered. Finally , special attention was given to both the experienced/affectionate knowledge and the theoretical one, all deriving from talks to area field experts. It was discovered that the psychological action done at the BTC is in the pratical-theoretical field from the Psychological Advice, and it is deemed as an educational and psychological-clinical practice, in an interdisciplinary dimension of a clinical social action. M oreover, some special peculiarities were found from the communication among the professional psychologist, the burned child and the mother. Those peculiarities were the tools which facilitated the psychologist

IX da coleção de obras completas do filósofo, denominada Husserlina. Apresentamos o ideário husserliano através da formação do conceito de Psicologia Fenomenológica e como seu entendimento torna possível respostas a questões de cientificidade para a Psicologia, que estão presentes desde a sua fundação como uma disciplina científica moderna, desde o final do sec. XIX. Concluímos ser necessária a construção de um campo intermediário entre a Fenomenologia e os estudos científicos em Psicologia, através da redescoberta deste ideário proposto por Husserl para uma possível Psicologia Científica de bases eidético-transcendentais e que utilize-se do método fenomenológico, e do caráter intersubjetivo da psique humana como fundamento desta possibilidade. / This dissertation explores the development of the concept of Phenomenological Psychology in the work of the philosopher Edmund Husserl and, more specifically, in the work "Phenomenological Psychology" that corresponds to vol. IX of the complete works of the philosopher, denominated Husserliana. We present the husserlian through the formation of the concept of Phenomenological Psychology and how its understanding makes possible answers to questions about psychology scientificity, which has been present since its foundation as a modern science, at the end of the XIX century. We conclude that it is necessary to construct an intermediate field between Phenomenology and scientific studies in Psychology, through the rediscovery of Husserl’s theory over the possibility of a Scientific Psychology of eidetic-transcendental bases and the usage of the phenomenological method, as well as the intersubjective character of human psyque as the basis of this possibility.

The objective of this study was to explore the authentic knowledge that evolved from a spontaneously written personal diary and other texts of a person who committed a crime of passion. I attempted to demonstrate how spontaneous linguistic forms could be used to gain a better understanding of the dynamics underlying and precipitating a crime of passion. A crime of passion represents a part of reality where both the suffering individual and the therapeutic or researching community seem to be either out of control or very vague understanding and explaining this seemingly paradoxical phenomenon. The main question is: why is the knowing (loving a person) in such cases not revealed in their way of being (killing that person)? An existential-phenomenological approach was adopted to explicate the apparently paradoxical phenomenon of a crime of passion. I explored the complicated hidden meanings (knowledge) in the diary of a person who murdered his fiancée, to unravel these assumed paradoxes, and found that the knowledge (epistemology) in the subject spontaneous self-expression provided a key for a better understanding of his way of existence or being (ontology) within a specific context, time and part of his life. Exploratory, descriptive, conceptual and semantic questions were explored by adopting an existential-hermeneutical orientation that allowed me to explicate the paradoxes both at primary and secondary levels. Working from a qualitative research perspective and phenomenological methodology, an in-depth analysis of meaning units and conceptual categories clarified underlying and hidden meanings in the texts. Theoretical linkages between different conceptual categories were explicated, highlighting the gaps in our previous understanding and theorising about crimes of passion. In this I could reveal how the person s existence gradually changed from inauthentic (insincere) and pretending to a more authentic (sincere) life of caring and responsibility after the crime. The main contribution of this project can thus be described as providing new insights to the therapeutic and research community concerning the complexity of the paradoxical existence of a person who committed a crime of passion. / Thesis (PhD (Psychotherapy))--University of Pretoria, 2005. / Psychology / unrestricted
