Depression will be installing on individual without that for it to be perceived. It is the result of biochemical alte-rations (serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine) that bring significant physical and psychological changes from day to day lives. Depression can occur at any stage of human development, with clinical presentation and different courses, but with a group of core symptoms (psychological inhibition, narrowing the experiential field, interests and moral suffering) depending on the personality of the person the symptoms recur, It is of various types, such as mood episodes, depressive disorders, bipolar disorders. In the elderly, depressive symptoms often are related to age, such as physical fatigue, lack of initiative, poor social interactions. Therefore, it becomes necessary to develop further studies with this population. The objective of this thesis was to assess and describe the use of self-presentation technique of psychodrama as an aid in the diagnosis of depression in the elderly. To achieve this goal, the study sought to appropriate the theoretical ark-bouço and self-presentation technique of psychodrama, emphasizing the creation of therapeutic vin-century researcher - participants split into several categories. This paper presents the design of case-control with 232 elderly members of the Univer-sity Open for Elderly (UNATI), the Catholic University of Goiás, of both sexes and aged between 55 and 85 years. The group of cases, participated individuals with high scores on the Hamilton instrument, with symptoms of depressed mood, and in the control group, the sample matched to the first group, with individuals whose rates were low and therefore not compatible with humor depressant. The results showed that the selfpresentation technique is an ally of psychotherapists - psychodramatists professionals, with assistance necessary to the diagnosis, because it is a technique that takes the individual to realize his psychodynamic and reassess their diseased social roles. / Há evidências de que há um aumento dos casos depressão e suas consequências em idosos. A depressão vai se instalando no indivíduo sem que por ele seja percebida. É o resultado de alterações bioquímicas (serotonina, noradrenalina e dopamina) que trazem mudanças físicas e psicológicas significativas no dia a dia das pessoas. A depressão pode aparecer em qualquer fase do desenvolvimento humano, com apresentação clínica e cursos diferentes, mas com um grupo de sintomas básicos (inibição psíquica, estreitamento do campo vivencial, dos interesses e sofrimento moral) dependendo da personalidade da pessoa os sintomas se repetem, sendo de vários tipos, como episódios de humor, transtornos depressivos, transtornos bipolares. Nos idosos, os sintomas depressivos muitas vezes têm relação com a idade, tais como cansaço físico, falta de iniciativa, poucas interações sociais. Por isso, torna-se necessário desenvolver estudos mais aprofundados com essa população. Assim, o objetivo desta tese foi avaliar e descrever o uso da técnica de autoapresentação do Psicodrama, como auxílio no diagnóstico de depressão em idosos. Para alcançar esse objetivo, o trabalho buscou se apropriar do arcabouço teórico e da técnica de autoapresentação do Psicodrama, enfatizando a criação do vínculo terapêutico pesquisadora-participantes com desdobramento em várias categorias. Este estudo apresenta o delineamento de caso-controle, com 232 idosos freqüentadores da Universidade Aberta à Terceira Idade (UNATI), da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Goiás, de ambos os sexos e idade entre 55 e 85 anos. Do grupo de casos, participaram indivíduos com pontuações altas no instrumento de Hamilton, com sintomas de humor depressivo, e no grupo- controle, a amostra pareada à do primeiro grupo, com indivíduos cujos índices foram baixos e, portanto, não compatíveis com o humor depressivo. Os resultados apontaram que a técnica de autoapresentação é uma aliada dos profissionais psicoterapeutas-psicodramatistas, apresentando auxílio preciso ao diagnóstico, por se tratar de uma técnica que leva o indivíduo a perceber sua psicodinâmica e reavaliar seus papéis sociais adoecidos.

The process of visualizing n-D data presents the user with four problems: finding a hyperdimensional graphics package capable of rendering n-D data, finding a suitable presentation technique supported by the package that allows insight to be gained, using the provided user interface to interact with the presentation technique to explore the information in the data, and finding a way to share the information gained with others. Many graphics packages have been written to solve the first problem. However, existing packages do not sufficiently solve the other three problems. A hyperdimensional graphics package that sufficiently solves all these problems simplifies the user experience and allows the user to explore, interact with, and share the data. I have implemented a package that solves all four problems. The package is able to render n-D data through appropriate encapsulation of presentation techniques and their associated visual cues. Through the use of an extensible plugin system, presentation techniques can be easily added and accommodated. Desirable features are supported by the user interface to allow the user to interact easily with the data. Sharing of visualizations and annotations are included to allow users to share information with one another. By providing a hyperdimensional graphics package that easily accommodates presentation techniques and includes desirable features, including those that are rarely or never supported, the user benefits from tools that allow improved interaction with multivariate data to extract information and share it with others.
