Autopercepción en mujeres que se someterán a una mamoplastía de aumento El presente estudio busca describir las características de la autopercepción en un grupo de 15 mujeres que se someterán a una Mamoplastía de aumento (MA). La medición se realiza usando clúster de autopercepción del Sistema Comprehensivo de Exner y una entrevista semiestructurada. Las variables se contrastan con la data de Ráez (2007) utilizando la Prueba de Wilcoxon. Los resultados muestran diferencias significativas en el Contenido anatómico y radiográfico (An+Xy) siendo mayor en el grupo de estudio, lo que indica una inusual preocupación corporal en las participantes. En tanto, a partir del análisis de contenido de las entrevistas se observa que: hubo un retraso en el crecimiento de los senos en la etapa de la pubertad, lo que repercutió en la configuración de la imagen corporal femenina de las participantes. Con respecto a las mujeres que dieron de lactar consideran que este hecho afecto la configuración de sus senos, esperando reconstruirlos por medio de la MA. A la vez, existe la expectativa de que la MA mejorará su apariencia femenina, proporcionándoles mayor seguridad en su desenvolvimiento social. Y la mayor parte de mujeres con pareja esperan que la MA mejore su desenvolvimiento sexual.

The measuring is carried out using a cluster of self-perception from the Comprehensive System by Exner and a semi-structured interview. Variables are contrasted with data from Ráez (2007) using the Wilcoxon test. The results show significant differences in the Anatomic and radiographic content (An+Xy), being this bigger in the research group, which indicates an unusual concern of the participants for their body image. In the meantime, from the analysis of the content of the interviews it is observed that: There was a delay of the breast growth in puberty, which had an impact in the configuration of the female body image of the participants. Concerning women who breastfed, they consider that this fact affected their breast shape, hoping to change its shape through a breast augmentation. They expect that a breast augmentation will improve their female appearance, providing them with greater security in their social interaction. And most of the women in a relationship hope that a breast augmentation will improve their sexual performance. Keywords: Self perception, augmentation Mammaplasty, Rorschach Psychodiagnosis. / Tesis

On tries to point out that the theoretical basis of thest, in its origin, predetermines to a certain extent its paths of conceptual development. This permited its handling by means of points of view closes to thse basis. At the same time, it hinder and even prevent the full acceptance of the technique by conceptions and theories wich remote from its theoretical origins. To accomplish this, short retrospect of the test is made, as it arouse in the author’s min, with the permitive conceptual basis, in addiction to the history of its development and use by psychologist, physisians, and others professionals. This follow by how the leading theoretical systems in contemporary psychology approached the test. Thus, it is evaluated according to psychoanalysis, gestaltism, behaviorsm and psychometry, phenomenology and existencialism, and psycholinguistics. Concluding, on try to show the conceptual basis given to the test by the author, although considered not fully developed by scholars, ser certain definite limits to its evolution and theoretical approach, in such a way that objective conceptions, like behaviorism and psychometry, lay outside these limits. This prevent the test to be assimilated by these systems. / Neste trabalho é tentada uma abordagem teórica 40 'Psicodiagnóstico', de H. Rorschach. Procura-se mostrar que as bases te6ricas do teste, em sua origem, predeterminam de certo modo os seus caminhos de desenvolvimento conceitual. Assim fazendo, facilitam sua manipulação por pontos de vista próximos a essas bases, e colocam dificuldades ou mesmo impedem, em muitos aspectos, a aceitação da técnica, de modo integral e pleno, por concepções e sistemas de ideias afastadas destas origens teóricas. Para isto, faz-se uma análise dos fundamentos teóricos do teste, tal como surgiu do pensamento de seu autor, e historia-se seu desenvolvimento e uso por psicólogos, clínicos, e outros profissionais. Em seguida, mostra-se como abordam o teste os principais sistemas te6ricos na psicologia contemporânea. Deste modo, o teste é apreciado segundo a psicanálise, o gestaltismo, o behaviorismo e a psicometria, a fenomenologia e o existencialismo, e a psicolinística. Nas conclusões procura-se mostrar como as bases conceituais dadas ao teste por seu autor, embora consideradas pouco desenvolvidas pelos estudiosos, marcaram certos limites para sua evolução e abordagem teórica, de tal modo que concepções objetivistas, como o behaviorismo e a psicometria, não cabem dentro desses limites, o que impede a absorção plena do teste por estes sistemas.

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2010-02-24 / Objective: To conduct a normative study of the Rorschach Method Comprehensive System among children from 7 to 10 years old, from public and private schools in the city of Cuiabá (Mato Grosso), and provide insight for psychological studies with Brazilian children in this age group. Methods: To select the sample, the Child Behavior Checklist was administered to the parents and the Raven Colored Progressive Matrices test was applied to the children, with a view to excluding children with emotional, behavioral and/or intellectual difficulties. The Rorschach Comprehensive System was administered to 211 selected children who were divided into age groups: 7 years old (N=50), 8 years old (N=53), 9 years old (N=53) and 10 years old (N=55), from both genders, 110 of whom attended public schools and 101 attended private schools. The more privileged social classes were represented from the private schools and the less privileged social classes from the public schools. Results: In the interrator reliability study, the percentages varied from 87% to 100%; the Kappa values varied from a minimum of 0.65, in the moderate agreement range, to a high of 1.0. There was nothing, therefore, to stop the variables from being taken into account and so normative tables were created for each of the 113 Rorschach Method Comprehensive System variables for each age group with the results for public and private schools. The comparison between the Rorschach results of children attending public and private schools, using the “t-test” with Bonferroni’s correction, revealed statistically significant differences. The children from private schools presented higher results in the R, Sum Y and Blends variables and in the Intellectualization Index, and the children from public schools presented better results in the Lambda variable. In other words, children from private schools showed a greater freedom to associate and produce responses, a greater presence of situational stress, a better ability to cope with complex affective situations and a more intellectual handling of affect. The children from public schools, meanwhile, presented a more simplified perception and an attitude that was more superficial and impersonal, and less engaging. When comparing gender with age group and gender with public or private schooling, no statistically significant difference was found in any of the variables. That is to say, boys and girls do not produce different responses to the Rorschach, even when comparing the gender of the child with schooling, meaning that this statistically significant difference is restricted to schooling alone. Conclusions: The differences identified between the school types signal a need to run normative studies with children, adolescents, adults and the elderly in different countries and in different regions within the same country, like those that have been taking place in Brazil, thereby constituting challenges for future discussions. / TEDE

Este estudo objetivou descrever a diversidade de configurações psicológicas e psicopatológicas em um grupo de pacientes em risco de suicídio, utilizando o Método de Rorschach pelo Sistema Compreensivo. Foram avaliados 40 pacientes com ideação suicida atual grave ou tentativa de suicídio até 30 dias antes da avaliação. Os resultados indicaram significativas dificuldades psicológicas. Apontaram uma capacidade limitada de controle do estresse devido a restrita qualidade dos recursos e estados de sobrecarga afetiva e ideacional que dificultam a manutenção ou recuperação do equilíbrio psicológico. Evidenciaram também prejuízos cognitivos extensivos no processamento de informação, tradução e conceitualização de estímulos. Estes fatores conduzem a falhas significativas no reconhecimento da realidade e a problemas de comunicação entre o sujeito e seu meio. Afetos desorganizados estavam marcados pela impulsividade, emoções dolorosas e constrição afetiva, favorecendo condições de sofrimento e descontrole emocional. A autopercepção e percepção interpessoal estavam baseadas em conceitos negativos e pessimistas de si e dos outros e determinavam expectativas ruins e desprazerosas sobre os contatos interpessoais e o futuro em geral. Esses resultados revelaram um quadro de risco, caracterizado por configurações psicopatológicas com déficits na estruturação da personalidade e reduzida capacidade de enfrentamento das demandas cotidianas. Finalmente, esta pesquisa teceu considerações acerca de recomendações psicoterapêuticas no trabalho com pacientes em risco de suicídio. _________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / Suicide is a complex phenomenon. It demands qualified interventions from health professionals to minimize the effects of the conditions that evoke psychic suffering and associated self-destructive impulses. They revealed a limited capacity of stress control due to restricted quality of resources and overwhelming affective and ideational states that hinder the maintenance or recovery of psychological balance. There were also extensive cognitive impairments regarding information processing, translation and conceptualization of stimuli. These factors lead to significant failures in recognizing reality and to communication problems between the subject and others. Disorganized affects were marked by impulsivity, painful emotions and affective constriction, fostering suffering conditions and emotional lack of control. Self-perception and interpersonal perception were based on negative and pessimistic concepts of self and others which determine bad and unpleasant expectations about interpersonal contacts and the future in general. These results revealed a picture of risk characterized by psychopathological configurations with deficits in personality structure and reduced capacity of coping with daily demands. Finally, this research offered considerations regarding psychotherapeutical recommendations for the treatment of patients with suicide risk.

Rorschach records of children tend to contain a high percentage of percepts which pertain to animals and animal details. Since teachers of primary grades deal with many animal pictures and stories in their daily work routine, it may be possible that the records of these persons may show a higher percentage of animal responses than might ordinarily be expected of intelligent adults in the normal population.

An investigation was undertaken to determine whether or not projection and identification occur when a subject responds to stimuli suggesting human figures. It was assumed that if identification were operative there would be a tendency to see an equivocal stimulus figure as a member of the subject's own sex. It was felt also that if projection occurs, subjects would ascribe feelings and motivations to figures which were ambiguous in these respects. A secondary aim contingent upon the demonstration of projection and identification mechanisms was the construction of a device which might be developed as a personality test. Two sets of twenty line drawings (the M-B cards) were made up to be used as a research instrument. The First Series contained single human figures and the Second Series two human figures in various positions. These drawings were intended to be ambiguous as to sex and movement, being less structured than the Thematic Apperception Test cards and more structured than the Rorschach cards. Subjects were asked to identify the sex of the figures and to say "what they are doing." The two sets of pictures were administered to 216 normal adults selected for sex, age and educational level. Responses given to the First Series were analysed as to communality and as to sex and emotion ascribed to the figures. Responses to the Second Series were analysed as to sex ascribed the two figures, indication of conflict and "popularity". Statistical comparisons were made of the performances of men and women, of grade nine subjects with university graduates, and of those aged 20 to 30 with subjects 40 to 50. Identification was not demonstrated. This might have been due to a weighting of the cards in the direction of maleness or to the rigidity of the instructions. Considerable variation was found with respect to projection of emotions into the figures of the First Series. Individual cards also showed great variation as to frequency with which they elicited an emotional response. It is suggested that these differences might have diagnostic value. In the Second Series men gave more "conflict" responses than did women. It is suggested that this might indicate differences in attitude toward aggression and hostility between the two groups. Certain cards in this series gave more conflict responses than other cards. A "popular"' response to a card was defined as one which occurred at least six times. It was found that both cards and subjects differed in the extent to which they elicited or gave popular responses. It was felt that these results might indicate differences in associational processes or in conventionality and spontaneity. The M-B cards appeared to meet two criteria of a useful projective test. They revealed individual differences between subjects and they permitted of an objective scoring system which served to identify these differences. With reference to future research it is suggested that the cards be redesigned to make them neutral with respect to sex and that the instructions be modified to allow freer expression on the part of the subject. / Arts, Faculty of / Psychology, Department of / Graduate
