El presente estudio busca indagar por la incidencia de indicadores asociados al maltrato infantil en el Test Proyectivo de la Figura Humana de Machover en un grupo de jóvenes y adultos, y de contrastar los resultados según las variables de edad, condición socioeconómica y tipo de maltrato experimentado para observar en qué medida permanecen los rasgos del maltrato infantil a través del tiempo. Se utilizó una muestra de 60 participantes, 30 procedentes del distrito de Los Olivos y 30 del distrito de Miraflores de la Cuidad de Lima-Perú Se trata de una investigación no experimental, transversal y descriptiva que del Test de la Figura Humana, selecciónò 17 ítems asociados a los rasgos de impulsividad y agresividad y 5 que mostraban baja autoestima e inseguridad emocional, creando dos grupos de Indicadores emocionales. A.I. (Agresividad e impulsividad) y B.I. (Baja Autoestima e inseguridad emocional). El Tipo de Maltrato que se encontró con mayor incidencia en los resultados fue el Maltrato Emocional, en segundo lugar el Maltrato físico y por último el Maltrato Sexual. Con respecto al indicador A.I. la presencia del ítem dedos en punta aparece en forma creciente desde los 18 años hacia los 38 años, situación que demuestra que la transición de la juventud a la edad adulta lleva en aumento estrés y ansiedad por las exigencias sociales; y, dentro de los ítems del Indicador Emocional B.I. se observa una mayor incidencia de los trazos finos y débiles, así como del trazo descontinuado. La investigación es útil para ayudar a contar con un recurso básico en el área clínica, para detectar la permanencia de rasgos de agresividad en adultos que en su infancia han sido maltratados y poderles brindar ayuda a ellos y a sus familias, como mecanismo para la prevención del ciclo del maltrato y para mejorar su autoconcepto, así como la calidad de sus relaciones interpersonales en la adultez. The purpose of this research is to find out the effect of child abuse through time: in a group of youth and adults. This according to the variables of age, socioeconomic status and type of abuse experienced, observing to what extent the characteristics of child abuse has affected the personality traits and has persisted over time. The statistic sample was of 60 participants- 30 from the district of Los Olivos and 30 from the district of Miraflores of the City of Lima-Peru. It´s a brief experimental, transversal and descriptive research, that selects 17 items associated with the impulsivity and aggressiveness traits, and 5 regarding low self-esteem and emotional insecurity, creating two groups of Emotional Indicators. AI: (Aggressiveness and impulsivity) and BI: (Low self-esteem and emotional insecurity). The type of maltreatment that was found with the most incidence in the results was the Emotional Abuse. Secondly was the Physical Abuse and finally the Sexual Abuse. In regard to the indicator AI. The presence of the item named pointed fingers appears increasingly from the age of 18 to the age of 38. This is a situation that shows that the transition from youth to adulthood leads to increased stress and anxiety due to social demands; with respect to the Emotional Indicator BI it shows a higher incidence of fine and weak lines as well as the discontinuous lines. This research is useful to help to have a basic resource in the clinical area, to detect the persistence of aggressive traits in adults who have been abused in their childhood so as to be able to help them and their families, also as a mechanism for the prevention of the Cycle of abuse, and to improve their self-concept, as well as the quality of their interpersonal relationships in adulthood.

My diploma thesis deals with the manifestations of aggressiveness and bullying on the second grade of basic schools. In the section dealing with theory I define the concept of bullying and aggressiveness and further I focus on participants, causes, consequences, prevention, diagnosis and process of diagnosis and investigation of bullying. In the section dealing with practice I have defined three aims: To map and depict the manifestations of bullying on the second grade of given basic schools; to find whether the data gathered have any relation to a total number of pupils at school and to find what attitude towards the issue of bullying and aggressiveness among children is held by basic-school teachers themselves. To gather the data for the first and second aim I have used a form which had been handed out in three basic schools with a various number of pupils. To meet the third aim I have questioned twenty teachers of given basic schools. All three aims of my thesis have been fulfilled. My research shows that up to 35 percent of children have experienced a certain form of aggressiveness and bullying while the occurrence thereof does not depend on a total number of pupils. Moreover my research has shown that teachers are not expertly prepared to deal with the issue.

Text in Afrikaans / Die doelstelling van hierdie navorsing is om te bepaal of warmte, empatie en kongruensie as openinggespreksvaardigheid met die verbaal aggressiewe klient enige waarde het en om te bepaal in watter mate maatskaplike werkers vaardig is in die hantering van die aggressiewe klient. Volgens die bevindinge van hierdie ondersoek waaraan vier en twintig maatskaplike werkers deelgeneem het, blyk dit dat daar groot gebreke in die hantering van die aggressiewe klient is en dat maatskaplike werkers nie altyd oor die nodige vaardighede beskik om die uitdaging wat die aggressiewe klient bied, te hanteer nie. Die navorsing kan as 'n voorbeeld van die werkwyse van maatskaplike werkers beskou word en dui daarop dat daar in hulle opleiding ten opsigte van die hantering van aggressie sekere leemtes is. Daar aanbeveel dat hierdie aspek verder ondersoek word. word / The aim of this research was to determine whether conversational skills such as warmth, empathy and congruency have any positive effect when dealing with verbally aggressive clients and to what degree social workers are equipped to deal with aggressive clients. According to the findings of this research in which twenty four social workers participated it would appear that there are serious shortcomings in the way in which they deal with aggressive clients and that they do not always have the skills required to meet the challenges posed by aggressive clients. This research outlines the way in which social workers operate and would seem to indicate that there are serious shortcomings in their training when it comes to dealing with aggressive clients in interview situations. It is recommended that this matter be further investigated. / Social Work / M.A. (Sosiale Wetenskappe (Geestesgesondheid)

Ratos Wistar, machos, provenientes do Biotério Central da Unesp, foram divididos em 2 grupos experimentais: A- animais intrusos (sem tratamento) e B- animais residentes, os quais receberam um dos seguintes tratamentos: acetato de sódio (controle); acetato de cádmio (solução a 50 ppm de Cd na água de beber); submetidos ao estresse por imobilização (30 minutos, 3 vezes ao dia, 5 dias por semana, durante 4 semanas); expostos ao Cd e concomitantemente submetidos ao estresse por imobilização. O comportamento de agressividade dos animais residentes foi avaliado ao final da última semana do experimento, baseando-se no paradigma do animal intruso/residente, segundo os seguintes parâmetros: número total de ataques (NTA), tempo de latência para a 1º mordida (TLM), tempo total de manifestações de ataques (TTMA) e escore de agressão composta (EAC). Após a avaliação do comportamento de agressividade, o sangue e o cérebro dos animais foram coletados para dosagem de Cd por espectrometria de absorção atômica. O nível de cádmio no sangue não se alterou, mas no cérebro foi aumentado. Observou-se que exposição ao Cd ou estresse por imobilização sozinhos, não modificaram o NTA, TLM, TTMA ou EAC, porém, exposição ao Cd e EI concomitantemente aumentou significantemente o NTA, TTMA e o EAC. Esses resultados sugerem que exposição dos ratos à baixa dose de Cd associado ao estresse por imobilização pode causar interação e provocar aumento da agressividade dos animais. Um possível papel da serotonina (5-HT) e nível aumentado de cádmio no cérebro, como mecanismos responsáveis pela agressividade anormal observada, é discutido. / The aim of this study was to assess the aggressiveness in rats concomitantly exposed to cadmium (Cd) and stress by immobilization (EI). Male Wistar rats, 70 days old, from the Biotério Central – UNESP, Botucatu - SP, were allocated into 2 experimental groups: A-intruder animals (without treatment) and B-resident animals, which received one of the following treatments: sodium acetate (control); Cadmium acetate (50 ppm Cd in drinking water); stress by immobilization (30 min, three times per day, five days per week, during four weeks); Cd exposure and concomitant stress by immobilization. The aggressive behavior of resident rats was evaluated at the end of the last experimental week based on the intruder/resident animal paradigm, according to the following parameters: total number of attacks (TNA), latent time for the first bite (LTB), total time of attack manifestations (TTAM), and composed aggression score (CAS). After aggressive behavior assessement, blood and brains were collected to determine Cd through atomic absorption spectrometry. Cd level was not altered in the blood but increased in the brain. Cd exposure or EI, alone, did not modify TNA, LTB, TTAM or CAS but Cd exposure and EI, concomitantly, increased significantly TNA, TTAM and CAS. These results suggest that rat exposure to low Cd level associated with stress by immobilization may lead to interaction with consequent increased animal aggressiveness. A possible paper of serotonin (5-HT) and increased brain Cd levels as responsible mechanisms by the observed abnormal aggressiveness is discussed.

O comportamento agressivo maternal é desenvolvido por ratas lactantes com o intuito de preservar a vida de sua prole. Nesse estudo demonstramos que a Área Hipotalâmica de Ataque (HAA), particularmente a porção ventrolateral do núcleo ventromedial (VMHvl) e a parte tuberal do hipotálamo lateral (LHAtu), apresentam um papel crítico para a expressão do comportamento, ao correlacionarmos os níveis de agressão maternal com a ativação de tais setores, e detectarmos prejuízo no comportamento em um grupo submetido a lesões citotóxicas bilaterais por NMDA circunscritas a 1/3 caudal da HAA, e em outro grupo lesões que se estenderam por 2/3 caudais do eixo rostro caudal da HAA. Os parâmetros não agressivos não apresentaram diferenças entre os grupos, assim como os comportamentos maternais, indicando que as lesões não afetaram o cuidado das fêmeas com a sua prole. Em uma análise da densidade de células Fos positivas de possíveis alvos dessas estruturas hipotalâmicas estudadas, não detectamos diferenças estatísticas entre os grupos com lesão e o grupo controle. / The maternal aggression is developed by lactant dams to preserve their offsprings. In the present study we show that Hypothalamic Attack Area (HAA), particularly the ventrolateral part of ventromedial nucleus (VMHvl) and the tuberalis part of the lateral hypothalamus (LHAtu), have a critical role in the expression of this behavior. We have correlated the maternal aggression levels with the activation of this parts and we have detected behavioral damage at both groups with bilateral NMDA lesions at 1/3 caudal of HAA or 2/3 caudal of HAA, compared with control group. The non-agressive parameters did not show diferences among groups, as well as the maternal behavior, indicating that the lesions did not affect the maternal care. We have further analyzed the pattern of Fos expression in the brainstem targets of these hypothalamic regions in the NMDA lesioned dams, but couldnt find any difference between lesioned and intact groups.

Para isso, os métodos tomados da Antropologia das Formas Expressivas e alguns conceitos da Teoria Psicanalítica, permitem problematizar e acompanhar legendas de narrativas míticas e rituais da Grécia Antiga através do simbolismo ritual que permite apreender a justaposição entre homem, deus e o animal, esse jogo se institui em correspondência e dependência da simbolização do feminino. O simbolismo ritual desvenda alguns elos entre laços sociais interdições sexuais, agressividade e sexualidade, permite ainda, interpretar o sacrifício ritual como imagem especular da ordem social. Estes temas remetem ao incesto e ao parricídio, fenômenos sociais implicados no sacrifício ritual e no jogo de justaposição entre homem, deus e o animal. Portanto, a partir de Totem e Tabu, de Sigmund Freud; A Violência e o Sagrado, de René Girard; e Homo-Necans - ritos sacrificiais e mitos da Grécia Antiga, de Walter Burkert, pretende-se interpretar algumas legendas míticas e rituais do politeísmo grego para evidenciar analogias e semelhanças entre sistemas sacrificiais de práticas religiosas de modernos e totêmicos, ou ainda, de monoteístas e politeístas. Essas imagens míticas e rituais repetem cenas de ordem e desordem associados à ação sacrificial, aproximam castração e ordem simbólico-ritual fálica, mito do Complexo de Édipo e pai da horda primitiva, tabu totêmico e tabu obsessivo, matriarcado e patriarcado. Jesus Cristo, Dionísio, Apolo e Hefesto se situam no jogo de justaposição entre homem, deus e o animal, associam-se ao campo masculino e ao patriarcado; do mesmo modo, divindades femininas como Maria, Deméter, Hera, Atena e Afrodite constituem imagens superpostas da mulher como mãe, virgem e amante, figuras situadas no campo feminino. O simbolismo ritual permite, assim, interpretar o advento do matriarcado em relação de dependência e polarização com o patriarcado, ambos repetem compulsivamente o jogo de superposições entre homem, deus e o animal que institui simbolismo ritual e transmite tradição cultural / Resumé: Cette étude se propose d'esquisser une analyse de la réalité sociale à partir du concept de sacrifice rituel, un fait social total dans la mesure où il comprend les instances de la vie politique, religieuse, économique et culturelle. Pour cela, les méthodes empruntées à l'anthropologie des formes expressives, et quelques concepts de la théorie psychanalytique permettent de problématiser et de suivre les légendes mythiques et rituelles de la Grèce antique à travers le symbolisme rituel, qui permet de comprendre la juxtaposition entre homme, dieu, et animal, qui s'institue en correspondance et en dépendance de la symbolisation du féminin. Le symbolisme rituel révèle quelque chaînons entre liens sociaux, interdictions sexuelles, agressivité et sexualité, et permet aussi d'interpréter le sacrifice rituel comme image spéculaire de l'ordre social. Ces thèmes renvoient à l'inceste et au parricide, phénomènes sociaux impliqués dans le sacrifice rituel et dans le jeu de juxtaposition entre homme, dieu, et animal. Donc, à partir de Totem et Tabou, de Sigmund Freud, de La violence et le sacré, de René Girard, et de Homo necans - rites sacrificiels et mythes de la Grèce antique, de Walter Burkert, on a l'intention d'interpréter quelques légendes mythiques et rituelles du polythéisme grec, ceci afin de mettre en évidence les analogies et les ressemblances entre les systèmes sacrificiels des pratiques religieuses modernes et totémiques, ou encore, monothéistes et polythéistes. Ces images mythiques et rituelles répètent les scènes d?ordre et de désordre associées à l'acte sacrificiel, rapprochent castration et ordre symbolico-phallique, mythe du complexe d'oedipe et du père de la horde primitive, tabou totémique et tabou obsessionnel, matriarcat et patriarcat. Jésus Christ, Dionysos, Apollon et Héphaïstos, se situent dans le jeu de juxtaposition entre homme, dieu, et animal, et sont associés au champ masculin et au patriarcat, et de la même façon, des divinités féminines comme Marie, Déméter, Héra, Athéna, et Aphrodite constituent des images superposées de la femme avec la mère, la vierge et l'amante, figures situées dans le champ féminin. Le symbolisme rituel permet ainsi d?interpréter l?avènement du matriarcat en relation de dépendance et de polarisation avec le patriarcat, l'un comme l'autre répétant compulsivement le jeu de superposition entre homme, dieu et animal qui institue le symbolisme rituel et transmet la tradition culturelle / Abstract: This study proposes to outline an analysis of social reality from the concept of ritual sacrifice, a total social fact that measuresand apprehends of political life, religious, economic and cultural life. For this reason, the methods taken from Anthropology of expressive forms and some concepts in psychoanalytic theory, allow problematize and accompany captions of mythic narratives and rituals of Ancient Greece through the ritual symbolism, which enables to seize the juxtaposition between man, God and the animal, which is establishing in correspondence and dependence of symbolization of the female. The ritual symbolism uncovers some links between social ties sexual prohibitions, aggression and sexuality, also allows, interpret the sacrifice ritual as specular image of the social order. These issues relate to the incest and the "parricidio", social phenomena involved in ritual sacrifice and in the game of juxtaposition between man, God and the animal. Therefore, from Totem and Taboo, Sigmund Freud; The violence and the sacred, of René Girard; and Homo-Necans - sacrificial rites and myths of Ancient Greece, of Walter Bürkert works, we want to interpret some mythical legends and rituals of the Greek polytheism to highlight similarities and parallels between sacrificial systems of religious practices of modern and "totemicos", or even, monotheistic and polytheist. These mythic images and rituals are repeated scenes of order and disorder associated with the sacrificial action, approach castration and order symbolic-ones, myth of Edipus Complex and father of the primitive horde, "totenico"taboo and obsessive taboo, matriarchy and the patriarchy. Jesus Christ, Dionysus, Apollo and Hefesto are situated in the game of juxtaposition between man, God and the animal, are associated with the male field and to the patriarchy; similarly, female deities as Mary, Demeter, Hera, Athena and Aphrodite are overlapping images of woman as mother, virgin and lover, figures situated in the countryside female. The ritual symbolism used to interpret the advent of matriarachy in relation of dependence and polarization with the patriarchy, both repeat compulsively the game of superpositions between man, God and the animal establishing ritual symbolism and transmits cultural tradition / Doutorado / Ciencias Sociais / Doutora em Ciências Sociais
