Esta pesquisa se desenvolveu a partir da parceria entre o Projeto APOIAR do Laboratório de Saúde Mental e Psicologia Clinica Social do Instituto de Psicologia da USP e a ABRELA (Associação Brasileira de Esclerose Lateral Amiotrófica). O estudo refere-se à investigação e compreensão de aspectos afetivos, emocionais e de qualidade de vida dos profissionais da área de saúde, enfocando sua relação com cuidadores e pacientes portadores de Esclerose Lateral Amiotrófica (ELA), doença degenerativa dos neurônios motores, sem prognóstico de cura, embora com a consciência mantida até a morte. Foi empregado o método clínico de pesquisa em onze profissionais, médicos, assistentes sociais, fisioterapeutas respiratórios e motor, nutricionista e terapeuta ocupacional, no setor da Neuromuscular da UNIFESP/Escola Paulista de Medicina em parceria com a ABRELA. Foram empregados como instrumentos: Entrevista Psicológica Semi Estruturada, Método de Rorschach pelo Sistema de Avaliação Aníbal Silveira (sendo alguns índices selecionados) e o Questionário de Vida de McGill. Os dados foram tratados considerando o grupo de forma geral e não de modo individualizado. Principais resultados obtidos apontam para a maturidade do grupo de profissionais, a sensibilidade da maioria à dor e ao sofrimento dos pacientes, com respostas que denotam afetividade, frustração diante da falta de cura e sucesso no tratamento. Demonstram qualidade de vida preservada, e os dados sugerem que trabalham na área que escolheram apesar das dificuldades que sentem. Sugere-se que sejam implementados programas que possam dar aos profissionais de saúde o suporte necessário para que se mantenham como o grupo estudado nessa pesquisa, em condições de dar conta do contato com pacientes com enfermidades graves e crônicas como a ELA. / The actual research was possible due to the partnership between the Project APOIAR (SUPPORT) of the Laboratory of Mental Health and Clinical Psychology of the Institute of Psychology of USP University of Sao Paulo, and ABRELA ( Brazilian Association of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis ( ALS ). This study intends to investigate and better understand the Quality of Life and emotional aspects of health professionals in their relationship with ALS patients and their carers. ALS is a degenerative illness which affects motor neurons causing severe physical impediments, even tough its patients continue lucid up to their death. This illness does not have a prognosis of cure. We have applied the Clinical Method of survey and research on eleven professionals physicians, social workers, motor and respiratory physiotherapists, nutritionist and occupational therapist from de Department of neuromuscular of UNIFESP/ Federal Paulista Medical School and partnership with ABRELA. The study Instruments used were the Semi- Structured psychological Interview, the Rorschach Method ( the Evaluation System by Anibal Silveira) and the Questionnaire of Quality of Life. The collected data considered the group as a whole and not individuals. The main results point towards the maturity of the group of health professionals and their sensitivity related to the pain and suffering of patients, with answers showing affection and frustration due to impossibility of cure and success of treatment. The results show preserved Quality of Life and suggest that those health professionals work within their chosen specialty despite their difficulties.The study suggests the need of implementing programs which give health professionals the necessary support, as shown in this study, so that they can deal with their patients with serious and chronic illnesses such ALS.

A adolescência configura-se como um período de transição, marcado pela instabilidade e por comportamentos que confrontam o mundo adulto, sendo a adolescência em conflito com a lei ainda mais perturbadora por desafiar a sociedade. Quando este desafio concretiza-se no descumprimento de medidas estabelecidas no âmbito jurídico para os atos infracionais, faz-se necessário compreender estes adolescentes, a fim de subsidiar intervenções preventivas que possam evitar uma possível trajetória de criminalidade na fase adulta. O presente estudo tem por objetivo investigar o funcionamento psíquico de um grupo de 30 adolescentes em conflito com a lei, em cumprimento de medida socioeducativa em meio aberto. Esses 30 adolescentes foram distribuídos em três grupos, de acordo com o nível inferior, médio e elevado de resistência ao cumprimento da medida socioeducativa. A pesquisa foi realizada junto à Vara de Infância e Juventude de uma Comarca da Grande São Paulo, com a realização de entrevistas com os adolescentes, aplicação do teste de Rorschach e leitura dos respectivos processos judiciais. Os dados de entrevista e das informações constantes dos autos foram categorizados e avaliados em termos descritivos. Os resultados do Método de Rorschach foram analisados de acordo com as referências teóricas do sistema francês da Escola de Paris, considerando-se a produção quantitativa dos três grupos separadamente e também a análise qualitativa de três sujeitos, representantes de cada um dos grupos / Adolescence is a time of transition, characterized by instability and disturbing behaviors to the adult, but juvenile delinquency can be even more challenging, since it confronts society. When this confrontation turns into a failure to comply with juvenile court dispositions, it is necessary to understand these adolescents in order to design preventive interventions that might stop a criminal path into adult life. The present study aims to investigate the psychic functioning of a group of 30 young offenders, who were given a non-custodial sentence. These adolescents were classified in 3 groups, according to the level of lawful resistance (low, medium and high).The research was conducted in one of the Greater São Paulo Juvenile Courts, and it included interviews, psychological assessment using Rorschach Test, as well as reading prosecution files. Data from interview and prosecution files were categorized and described. The Rorschach Test results were analysed according to French (Paris School) methodology. The analysis considered quantitative aspects and it covered qualitative data from three cases, one of each group

The theme of this thesis is to investigate the dimensions of extraversion-introversion as one of the fundamental characteristics of human personality. In the theoretical part, we are bringing a brief history of efforts to define and describe this dimension, and we also introduce some current concepts and appropriate diagnostic methods. Furthermore, in the theoretical part, we briefly focus on the specifics of personality dimensions of extraversion in the context of artistically creative personality. The aim of this work is not to contribute to answering the question about the existence of a relationship between the creative artistic process and a creator's introversion or extraversion. Artists are a psychologically widely studied group so we decided to use some specific knowledge about their extraversion or introversion in our research. The aim of the practical part of our thesis is to contribute to the search for the possible connections between personality theories of H. Rorschach and H. J. Eysenck. Both theories and methods (the Rorschach test and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire - EPQ-R) are based on the neurobiological characteristics of the individual and typical ways of responding but they differ in their approach. H. J. Eysenck's assumption of rather less extraversion of artists, as well...

In this study the original Rorschach test was administered to ten black South African adolescents, all fourteen years of age. Originally, the Rorschach’s test norms have been determined for an American sample. Using a qualitative research design in this study, the standard Rorschach test was administered in two phases, namely the pre-test and the post-test. Ten case studies were used as a format for research. During the pre-test the standard RCS procedures were strictly adhered to. The participants were never exposed to psychological tests before and reacted differently when presented with the Rorschach Inkblot cards for the first time. For instance, some of them were uncertain, nervous and reacted with shock. According to Exner&Weiner (1995:33) when less than 14 answers are given in response to the Rorschach test, the results cannot be interpreted. The participants were therefore required to give 14 or more answers. During the pre-test phase five out of 10 gave 14 and more responses whereas five gave less than 14 responses. The total responses of the 10 participants were 127 with an average of 12,7. The factors that inhibited the participants from giving 14 or more responses were identified and analysed. Adjusted or modified RCS procedures were then designed with the explicit aim of accommodating the participants’ culture, beliefs and background. The participants were re-tested with the adjusted RCS (ARCS) during the post-test phase. In this phase, eight participants gave 14 or more responses and only two participants gave less than 14 responses. The number of responses increased when the ARCS was administered. The total responses of the 10 participants were 161 with an average of 16,1. The results indicate an increase of 34 responses with an average increase of 3,4 responses for each participant. The research findings indicate that the ARCS was a more appropriate and effective administering test procedure when testing black South African adolescents as compared to the standard RCS. It is recommended that when administering the Rorschach Comprehensive System among non-western participants, that the factors that could prevent them from giving sufficient responses should be identified and analysed in order to modify the test procedures. The examiners could in this way minimise biases when administering psychological tests. / Thesis (PhD (Educational Psychology))--University of Pretoria, 2005. / Educational Psychology / unrestricted

L'adolescence, marquée par l'éclosion de la puberté et la résurgence des pulsions sexuelles et agressives, engage, un travail interne lié aux transformations psychiques et à l'émergence de la sexualité génitale. La puberté peut alors faire intrusion et trauma, blessant le sujet qui est plus ou moins prêt à supporter la contrainte au changement induit par le processus pubertaire. En référence au modèle théorique psychanalytique, nous nous intéressons dans cette étude à la manière dont les adolescents font face aux afflux d'excitations, tant externes qu'internes, selon un traitement psychique, par un travail de mentalisation et de symbolisation, ou bien comportemental ou somatique, par le langage du corps ou le recours à la sensorialité. En effet, quelles que soient les capacités d'élaboration mentale de l'adolescent, une vulnérabilité transitoire de l'appareil mental est attendue à cet âge de la vie. Notre travail se propose ainsi d'explorer le traitement de l'excitation à l'adolescence, mis en évidence par l'étude de la qualité de quatre mouvements psychiques : le narcissisme, le système pare-excitation, le recours au corps par la sensorialité et le langage du corps, ainsi que les processus de pensée à travers l'étude de la mentalisation et de la symbolisation. Notre objet de recherche questionne ainsi la qualité du traitement de l'excitation, à travers la mise en perspective de ces différentes dimensions conceptuelles, susceptible d'exposer une meilleure approche processuelle de l'adolescence. Partant de l'hypothèse principale selon laquelle le traitement de l'excitation est multifactoriel, l'objectif de cette étude est de dégager la manière dont l'articulation des différents concepts étudiés est à même de rendre compte, de manière plus sensible, du traitement de l'excitation à l'adolescence. La méthodologie projective a été choisie pour mettre à l'épreuve cette hypothèse à l'aide de grilles référées aux quatre dimensions précitées. Nous avons rencontré 17 adolescents tout-venants âgés de 14 à 18 ans auxquels nous avons proposé le Rorschach et le TAT. Dans une approche comparative, nous avons étudié le traitement de l'excitation auprès de deux groupes d'âge (14-16 ans et 16-18 ans). Les résultats mettent en avant des différences dans le traitement de l'excitation à l'adolescence entre les deux groupes d'âge, les plus jeunes ayant préférentiellement recours à l'inhibition, les plus âgés étant davantage en mesure de mentaliser et symboliser l'excitation. Conformément à notre hypothèse générale, l'analyse projective des quatre dimensions de notre travail permet une approche plus fine pour chaque adolescent des spécificités du traitement de l'excitation. / Adolescence, marked by the emergence of puberty and the resurgence of sexual and aggressive drives, engages an internal work linked to psychic transformations and to the emergence of genital sexuality. Puberty can therefore intrude and cause trauma, hurting the subject who is more or less ready to bear the constraint to change induced by the pubertal process. In reference to the theoretical psychoanalytic model, we are interested in the study of the way in which adolescents are confronted with the influx of excitations, both external and internal, through a psychic treatment, by a work of mentalisation and symbolisation, or behavioural, or somatic, by the language of the body or the use of sensoriality. Indeed, whatever the mental capacity of the adolescent, a transient vulnerability of the mental apparatus is expected at this age of life. Our work thus proposes to explore the treatment of excitation in adolescence, evidenced by the study of the quality of several psychic movements: narcissism, protective-shield system, sensoriality and body language, as well as the processes of thought through the study of mentalisation and symbolisation. Our research object thus questions the quality of the treatment of excitation, through the putting into perspective of these four conceptual dimensions, likely to expose a better process approach of adolescence. On the basis of the main hypothesis that the processing of the excitation is multifactorial, the objective of this study is to determine how the articulation of the different concepts studied is able to account more sensibly for the treatment of excitation in adolescence. The projective methodology was chosen to test this hypothesis using grids referred to the above four dimensions. We met 17 teenagers aged 14 to 18 years old who passed the Rorschach and TAT. In a comparative approach, we studied the treatment of excitation with two age groups (14-16 years and 16-18 years). The results highlight differences in the treatment of adolescent arousal between the two age groups, with the younger ones preferring inhibition, the older age groups being more able to mentalise and symbolize the excitation. According to our general hypothesis, the projective analysis of the four dimensions of our work allows a finer approach for each adolescent to the specificities of the treatment of excitation.

L'objet de ma recherche porte sur le désir d'enseigner qui interroge le choix d'un métier et la rencontre actuelle entre l'adulte et l'enfant, soit dans l'enseignement ordinaire soit pour les enseignants spécialisés qui choisissent de se confronter aux troubles graves des apprentissages et au handicap. Il s'agit d'explorer les origines du désir pris dans le discours spontané des enseignants appuyé sur des entretiens cliniques de recherche et dans un autre registre saisir la dynamique pulsionnelle, les choix identificatoires, les processus d'idéalisation et les mouvements fantasmatiques qui peuvent se déployer à travers l'utilisation des méthodes projectives. Pris dans la « métaphore vive » du mythe de Pygmalion déconstruit par Kaës (1973) à partir du fantasme de fustigation décrit par Freud en 1919, enseigner appelle un scénario fantasmatique mobile où les emplacements et les identifications entre l'enfant et l'adulte sont permutables, réversibles dans un retournement des positions actives et passives du sujet. Le désir d'enseigner s'inscrit dans une dimension narcissique patente actualisant le sentiment de continuité d'existence et la quête d'une image de soi idéale mais dans le même temps, se joue aussi la quête de la différence, ancrée dans l'infantile et le sexuel (Chabert, 2011) convoquant inévitablement la différence des sexes et la bisexualité psychique. Enfin, dans la réciprocité du désir d'apprendre et de savoir, enseigner à l'enfant, c'est aller à la rencontre de l'Inconnu posé par Rosolato (1978) comme une relation fondamentale entre le désir et l'idéal qui interroge l'inconnu en soi, le mystère de nos origines convoquant les fantasmes originaires rattachés aux questions de la naissance, de la mort et de la scène primitive. Le Rorschach et le TAT, ces autres objets énigmatiques qui font émerger des « arrêts » sur image et l'insistance de la répétition à certaines planches, mobilisent, dévoilent des enjeux fantasmatiques dans un écho singulier avec ce qui se joue dans la rencontre entre l'adulte et l'enfant à l'âge œdipien, celui de la latence et de l'adolescence. / This research focuses on the desire to teach that motivates the choices of a career and of the mutual encounter between the adult and the child, either in an ordinary school or a special educational setting for learning difficulty or severe disability needs. It aims at exploring the origins of the desire of teachers, on the one hand, through clinical research interviews, and on the other hand, by focusing on the underlying dynamics of drives, identifications and fantasies through projective testing. Caught up in the "rule of metaphor" of the Pygmalion myth, which was revisited by Kaës (1973) based on Freud's child beating fantasy concept (1919), teaching addresses mobile fantasized scenarios where identifications between the adult and the child are intertwined and reversible, turning around active and passive positions of the subject. The desire to teach is part of an evident narcissistic domain, restoring the sense of continuity of being and of an ideal self-image. However, the quest for differentiation, rooted in infantile psychosexuality (Chabert, 2011), is also played out, inevitably summoning gender differences and psychic bisexuality. Lastly, given the reciprocity between the desire to impart and to learn, teaching a child means encountering the Unknown which Rosolato (1978) defined as the fundamental relationship between the desire and the ideal; a relationship that questions the unknown in oneself, the mystery of one's origins and evoke primal fantasies which relate to questions of birth, death and primitive scenes. Enigmatic tools, such as the Rorschach and the TAT, produce fixated images and insistent repetitions on specific cards which summon fantasies echoing those at play in the encounter between the adult and the child of oedipal, latency or adolescent age.

It was the purpose of this study to determine the relationship between a subject's performance as revealed by intellectual indices of the Rorschach, his intellectual ability as revealed by the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, and academic success or failure in the form of promotion or nonpromotion.

The present study used the Psychoanalytic Rorschach Profile (PRP) to assess differences in personality organization in violent and nonviolent juvenile offenders.

Estudar a personalidade de artistas através do método de Rorschach é tarefa conhecida na psicologia clássica, observar evolução de fatores de personalidade, é tarefa rara, visto a necessidade de manter contato com os mesmos sujeitos, utilizar as mesmas metodologias, visando aprimorar o conhecimento de áreas específicas que fazem parte do desenvolvimento da criatividade, da psicologia e da arte. Com finalidade de caracterizar os fatores de personalidade e suas diferentes manifestações, sob a influência da maturidade, treino e experiência profissional e aspectos psicossociais, foi realizado o teste de Rorscharh em quatro artistas do sexo feminino, individualmente, em dois momentos distintos da vida das mesmas, 1988 e 2005. Em relação ao trabalho mental, foi observado um aumento da produtividade e da qualidade; assim como a percepção tornou-se mais prática e equilibrada. A adaptação para com a média intelectual diminuiu em contraposição ao aumento do contato com a realidade, da objetividade e da aceitação das normas grupais. Os indivíduos testados apresentaram personalidade flexível com múltiplos recursos: criatividade crescente, capacidade reflexiva, sensibilidade emocional crescente e evolução das respostas afetivas. Na análise do tipo de vivência observou-se maior introversão, e na dinâmica psíquica houve o predomínio do pólo intelectual em relação ao emocional. Interesses diversificados deslocando-se dos interesses centrais para os de cotidiano, primários e intelectuais. Outros resultados importantes destacados são: crescimento da atuação no meio e aumento da subjetividade, diminuição da impulsividade. Vale ressaltar que os indivíduos testados apresentaram grande número de mecanismos inusuais de reação nos dois momentos do estudo. A produtividade e outros sinais correlatos foram sensíveis à mobilização afetiva e ao tempo. A aplicação do teste de Rorscharch em artistas permitiu a elaboração de um conjunto de fatores representativos da personalidade dos mesmos. Evidenciou-se como contra-ponto marcante: produção criativa com estilo próprio versus forte subjetivação desadaptativa. / To study the artists personality by means of the Rorschach method is, for Classic Psychology, a known task. To observe the evolution of the factors related to the personality is very rare due to the need to keep in touch with the same individuals, and to employ the same methodologies, with the goal of enhancing the know-how of specific subjects that are connected to the development of creativity, psychology, and art. With the objective of characterizing personality traits and their distinct manifestations under the influence of: maturity, practice, professional experience and psychosocial aspects, four female artists, were individually submitted to the Rorschach Test, in two distinct moments of their lives: 1988 and 2005. An increase in productivity and quality was observed in regards to intellectual activities, with the individual having a more practical and balanced perception. As the contact with reality, objectivity, and acceptance of group guidelines increased there was a decrease in the adaptation of the average intellect. The individuals submitted to the test demonstrated to have a flexible personality with multiple resources: increased creativity, reasoning capacity, a growing emotional sensitivity, and an evolution of the affectionate responses. In analyzing this type of life we observed a greater introversion, and in the psychic dynamic there was a predominance of the intellect side in detriment of the emotional one. Diverse interests flowing from core ones to those related to: daily, primary, and intellectual ones. Other important results that are important to mention are: increased activity, increased subjectivity, and decrease in the impulsiveness. It is important to mention that the individuals, submitted to the test, demonstrated many unusual reaction mechanisms during the Studys two phases. The productivity and other corresponding signs showed sensitivity to the demonstration of affection and the passage of time. The application of the Rorscharch Test in Artists produced a group of factors that were representative of their respective personalities. A marked counterpoint became evident: creative productivity with own style versus a strong un-adaptive subjectivity.

The work aims to unveil the Karajá world - marked by this contact through codes and images collected through the Rorschach Psychodiagnostics plates as well as the ethnographic listening, through speeches, hearings, and life stories. The author investigates the impact of this history of contacts of over 300 years on the lives of the Karajá people, today, going through painful and challenging experiences, such as alcohol addiction, malnutrition and diseases, including infant mental disruption, in addition to the threats of the construction of the Araguaia-Tocantins waterway and construction of the road to the Bananal Island, which will destroy their natural habitat. The Rorschach psychodiagnosis, applied in the Karajá dialect, to over 40 individuals, reveals the deepest values kept by these people while it also reveals the results of the malefic contact with the colonizing world. The test reveals a people who still preserve a holistic relationship with their surrounding world. This result, gathered through the application of Rorschach is confirmed by the life of the village: their myths and rituals, their language, their cultural paintings and feasts, which are signs of resilience and cultural survival of the sons and daughters of the Berohokÿ. / Este trabalho trata do processo histórico do contato da sociedade nacional com o povo Karajá da Aldeia Hãwalo Mahãdu (Santa Isabel do Morro), na Ilha do Bananal-TO. Tem como objetivo o desvelamento do mundo Karajá - marcado por esse contato - colhido pelos nomes e pelas imagens do Psicodiagnóstico de Rorschach, como também através da escuta etnográfica, nas falas, depoimentos e histórias de vida. A autora investiga o impacto dessa história de contato de 300 anos na vida do povo Karajá, hoje passando por dolorosas e desafiadoras experiências, entre as quais a bebida alcoólica, a desnutrição e as doenças, inclusive a loucura infantil , e as ameaças da Hidrovia Araguaia-Tocantins e da estrada da Ilha do Bananal. O Psicodiagnóstico de Rorschach, aplicado em língua Karajá em 40 indivíduos, revela os resultados do contato maléfico, mas desvela também um povo que ainda preserva sua identidade cultural e alguns de seus valores mais profundos, como sua relação holística com o mundo que o cerca. Este resultado colhido no Rorschach confirma-se na vida da aldeia: seus mitos e ritos, sua língua, suas pinturas e festas são sinais de resistência e de sobrevivência cultural dos filhos e filhas do Berohokÿ.
