The specific objectives were: to evaluate the adaptive efficacy; verify and identify the repercussions associated with these abortion; and verify the repercussions that affect the adaptive efficacy. The instrument used in this study was the clinical preventive interview (EDAO Operationalized Adaptive Diagnostic Scale). Ten (10) women who were currently attending the Assisted Human Reproduction Ambulatory participated in the study. The results show that the abortion has an important repercussion in both internal and external worlds of the participant women. Both induced and spontaneous abortion were related to with intense angust, sadness, guilt, and inferiority feelings. Women who had spontaneous abortion predominantly presented fear of suffering it again; whereas those who provoked the abortion presented strong feelings of guilt. Women who attend a Human Reproduction Ambulatory present intense angst and great expectations towards treatment. The experience with the pregnancy attempt treatment added to the prior miscarriage experience intensified the angst of these women. Brief operationalized psychotherapy can help patients deal more adequately with the conflicts experienced during treatment. This specific study also contributes with the elaboration of prior losses. This study questions upon the emotional experience of women that seek pregnancy treatments after going through provoked or spontaneous miscarriages. Further research is vital to broaden comprehension on the subject.(AU) / O objetivo principal desta pesquisa foi investigar eficácia adaptativa de mulheres que vivenciaram abortamento e freqüentam um Ambulatório de Reprodução Humana. Os objetivos específicos foram: avaliar a eficácia adaptativa; identificar as repercussões psicológicas destes abortamentos. O instrumento utilizado foi a entrevista clínica preventiva- EDAO (Escala Diagnóstica Adaptativa Operacionalizada). Participaram do estudo 10 mulheres que freqüentavam um Ambulatório especializado em Reprodução Assistida. Os resultados deste trabalho revelaram que o abortamento teve uma repercussão importante no mundo interno e externo das mulheres que participaram desta pesquisa. Os abortamentos provocados e espontâneos são relatados com intensa angústia, tristeza, culpa e sentimentos de inferioridade. No caso do abortamento espontâneo predomina o medo de perder novamente, e no caso de aborto provocado, predominam sentimentos de culpa. As pacientes, de forma geral, apresentam intensa angústia e expectativa em relação ao tratamento; porém a experiência do tratamento para engravidar, somado à experiência anterior de abortamento, intensificou as angústias dessas mulheres. A psicoterapia breve operacionalizada pode auxiliar a paciente a lidar de forma mais adequada com os conflitos vividos no tratamento. E no caso específico deste estudo, auxiliar também a elaboração das perdas anteriores. Este estudo trouxe questionamentos relevantes sobre a vivência emocional de mulheres que buscam tratamento para engravidar e já sofreram abortamento espontâneo ou provocado. A realização de outros estudos é fundamental para maior compreensão do tema.(AU)

This thesis analyses 21st century filmic, televisual and comic “Snow White” adaptations. The research is interdisciplinary, bringing together scholarship on gender, childhood, ageing, adaptation, media and fairy tales. The first half of the thesis contextualises the broader historical and sociocultural conversation “Snow White” tellings are immersed in by nature of their shared culture and history. It also identifies the tale’s core and traces the tale’s formation as a tale type from the seventeenth to the twenty–first century. The second half of this thesis moves to an analysis of two films (Mirror Mirror, 2012; Snow White and the Huntsman, 2012), a television series (Once Upon a Time, 2011–present) and a comic book series (Fables, 2002–2015). It considers the kinds of stories about female growth and ageing different media adaptations of “Snow White” enable, and contemplates how issues of time and temporality and growth and ageing play out in these four versions. In analysing the relationship between form and content, this thesis illustrates how a study of different media adaptations of “Snow White” can enrich fairy–tale scholarship and the fairy–tale canon. It also details the imaginative space different media adaptations of “Snow White” provide when engaging with dominant discourses around female growth and ageing in the West. Using “Snow White” as a case study, this thesis centrally facilitates a dialogue between ageing, childhood, fairy–tale and adaptation studies.
