Specifically seeks to identify the elements that can interfere positively and / or negatively, in relation therapist - patient, analyze the resonances that therapeutic monitoring exercises on patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Sought to both the theoretical contributions about the body in Merleau Ponty and psychoanalysis Winnicott. Mainly addressed the relationship therapist - patient by Winnicott's approach and within the context of psychologists working with the theme of obesity. This is a qualitative study, whose participants seven clinical psychologists who develop activities in the field of bariatric surgery, both in the private and public sectors and two included patients aged 33 to 56 years, who underwent surgery and continue in psychological counseling. Semistructured interview used to psychologists and for both patients through a different starter question. The analysis of the narrative was taken from the thematic analysis, which identified themes related to the issue of professional practice and theoretical concepts used by psychologists, especially axes as the nature of the bond established relationship therapist and patient, the importance of family participation in the process and especially body image experienced by the patient before, during and after surgery. O care that the psychologist should have to take into account in its therapeutic relationship , the promotion of self-knowledge and understanding about a body experienced by the patient and therefore a body guy, not objectified ; constituted themselves as elements of fundamental importance , reminding us that policies accompanying attitudes are necessary but not sufficient for successful treatment. For these reasons, we point out that intrapsychic issues and the internal resources of the patient are sufficiently worked out, thus avoiding that the same replace the symptom of obesity by another symptom of compulsion. / Esta dissertação objetivou, de forma geral, analisar a ação do psicólogo clínico no processo de preparação e acompanhamento psicológico das pessoas que se submetem à cirurgia bariátrica. De forma específica pretendeu-se identificar os elementos que podem interferir positivamente e/ou negativamente, na relação terapeuta - paciente; analisar as ressonâncias que o acompanhamento terapêutico exerce sobre os pacientes que se submetem à cirurgia bariátrica. Para tanto buscou as contribuições teóricas a respeito do corpo na filosofia de Merleau Ponty e na psicanálise de Winnicott. Sobretudo, abordou o relacionamento terapeuta paciente pela abordagem winnicottiana e dentro do contexto dos psicólogos que trabalham com o tema da obesidade. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, que tem como participantes sete psicólogas clínicas que desenvolvem atividades na área de cirurgia bariátrica, tanto no setor privado como público e duas pacientes compreendidas na faixa etária de 33 e 56 anos, que se submeteram à cirurgia e continuam em acompanhamento psicológico. Utilizamos a entrevista semidirigida tanto para as psicólogas como para as pacientes, através de uma questão disparadora diferenciada. A análise das narrativas foi feita a partir da análise temática, que permitiu identificar eixos temáticos ligados à questão da prática profissional e às concepções teóricas utilizadas pelas psicólogas, destacando-se eixos como a natureza do vinculo estabelecido na relação terapeuta e paciente, a importância da família na participação do processo e, sobretudo, a imagem corporal vivida pelo paciente antes, durante e depois do procedimento cirúrgico. O cuidado que o psicólogo deve ter para levar em consideração no seu relacionamento terapêutico, a promoção do autoconhecimento e a compreensão a respeito de um corpo vivido pelo paciente e, portanto, um corpo sujeito, não coisificado; constituíram-se como elementos de fundamental importância, lembrando-nos que, atitudes explicativas diretivas são necessárias, mas não suficientes para o sucesso do tratamento. Por essas razões, apontamos que questões intrapsíquicas e os recursos internos do paciente sejam suficientemente trabalhados, evitando, assim, que o mesmo substitua o sintoma da obesidade por outro sintoma de compulsão.

The myth of docile and submissive woman contribute very much to the increasing of vulnerability and invisibility of these couples. Thus, we decided to listen to lesbian woman involved in situations of conjugal violence with their partners oriented by the following steps: we analyzed possible interrelations between the participants conceptions on gender and their performances in situations of violence and questioning possible interrelations between regulations of the category of gender and their experiences. This was used the depth interview, using was stimulus an album of images freely picked from internet, witch represent scenes of intimate relationship between two women. The production of data was conducts at the female prison Recife. The four participants affirmed themselves as lesbian, having stable relationship with women prior to the detention and being involved in situations of conjugal violence with their partners that led to denunciation (physical violence). In their speeches the binary argument of the differences attributed to men and woman serves as the base for plenty of causal explanations. In the inter space, there are their desires, experiences and fantasies. The lesbian position is, for them, a composition off different elements of what is associated to men and women, a hybrid, that demands a specific cartography for its understanding. The expressions of domination incorporated by these women in their relations, whet her in public or intimate manifestations seem to be a reinterpretations of old characters of the same story. His crucial to understanding the games of power and positions experienced in order to winder the debate on how these strategies and mechanisms can operate in any relation. In this sense, the identities created by gender positions as power devices, seems to have a great analytical potential regarding many situations of violence and keep us for from an essentialist perspective on subjectivity. The sex and the effects of domination in different relational levels, are micro or macro-socials. / O presente estudo objetiva problematizar situações de violência em relacionamentos conjugais entre lésbicas numa perspectiva de gênero. O mito da mulher dócil e submissa em muito contribui para o aumento da vulnerabilidade e invisibilidade destes casais. Assim, resolvemos escutar os discursos de mulheres lésbicas envolvidas em relações de violência conjugal com suas companheiras, a partir dos seguintes passos orientadores: analisamos possíveis inter-relações entre as concepções das participantes acerca dos gêneros e suas performances em situações de violência e problematizando possíveis relações entre regulações da categoria gênero e suas vivências. Foi utilizada a entrevista em profundidade tendo como estímulo um álbum contendo imagens, livres e resgatadas da internet, que representam cenas de um relacionamento íntimo entre duas mulheres. A produção de dados foi realizada na Colônia Penal Feminina do Recife. Nossas quatro participantes afirmaram ser lésbicas, possuírem antes da detenção uma relação estável com outra mulher e terem se envolvido em situações de violência conjugal com suas companheiras, que geraram denúncias (violência física). Em suas falas o argumento binário das diferenças entre comportamentos atribuídos a homens e mulheres serve como base para uma série de explicações causais; no entre espaço estão seus desejos, vivências e fantasias. A posição lésbica é para elas uma composição de diferentes elementos daquilo que se associa a homens e mulheres, um híbrido, que demanda uma cartografia específica para sua compreensão. As expressões de dominação incorporadas por estas mulheres em suas relações, sejam estas manifestações públicas ou intimas, aparecem como uma reinterpretação de antigos personagens de uma mesma história. Compreender os jogos de poder e posicionamentos experienciados nos parece fundamental para ampliar o debate sobre como estas estratégias e mecanismos podem operar em qualquer relação. Nesta perspectiva a leitura das identidades forjadas pelas posições de gênero, enquanto dispositivo de poder, se apresenta com grande potencial analítico de um sem número de situações de violência e nos afasta de uma perspectiva essencialista sobre a subjetividade e o sexo e efeitos de dominação em diferentes níveis relacionais, sejam micro ou macrossociais.

The study explored the body image of Professional Black South African women, cultural expectations, and their experiences in Westernised working milieus, utilising a phenomenological approach and qualitative exploratory design, located within Constructionism. Data were collected through purposive sampling (and snowballing) through individual face-to-face voice-recorded semi-structured interviews with 11 participants in/around Gauteng. Analysis was done through content analysis utilising thematic networks (Attride-Stirling). Major findings: Western values have influenced participants; Lower weight and thinness do not automatically correspond with assumptions about HIV/AIDS, instead correspond with healthier lifestyle choices; Body shape not weight or size was the prominent area of focus for most participants; Clothes size determines perception of overweight; Overweight has consequences. Forty-five per cent of participants were content with their bodies, 18% dissatisfied/unhappy, 18% satisfied, one happy, one apathetic. Tswanas were generally smaller-figured; Zulus, Northern Sotho/Pedi, Xhosa in general traditionally expected full-bodied women. Overt expectations in the workplace were not found. / Psychology / Master of Arts (Psychology)

A quantitative study that examines American Muslim women's level of exposure to domestic violence, resources available to them, and the effect of domestic violence on their psychological well-being. Data was collected from 128 Muslim women from the Islamic Center of Riverside in Southern California. The key finding of the study was a significant positive relationship between depression and the use of verbal aggression. In addition, a positive relationship was found to exist between anxiety, depression and the use of violence.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Women who fail to confront sexism can experience negative intrapersonal consequences, such as greater negative self-directed affect (negself) and greater obsessive thoughts, particularly if they are highly committed to challenging sexism. Female undergraduates (N = 392) were sampled to investigate whether failing to confront past sexism influences future task performance and whether any effects on performance occur through the depletion of cognitive resources. Participants were randomly assigned to recall either confronting or failing to confront past sexism, then completed measures of affect, obsessive thoughts, working memory, and performance. Women who recalled failing to confront were expected to have greater negself and obsessive thoughts related to the situation and lower working memory and performance, and desire to respond to the situation was expected to moderate these effects. As predicted, compared with women who recalled confronting, women who recalled failing to confront reported greater negself. Contrary to predictions, there was no significant effect of confrontation condition on obsessive thoughts, working memory, or performance. However, condition interacted with desire to confront, such that the more women who recalled failing to confront wanted to respond to the situation, the more negself they reported and the lower their working memory. In addition, for women who recalled confronting, greater desire to respond was associated with higher performance, while desire to respond was unrelated to performance for women who recalled failing to confront. In contrast to predictions, neither obsessive thoughts nor working memory mediated the failure to confront-performance relationship, and there was no evidence of moderated mediation. In sum, although the cognitive variables of obsessive thoughts and working memory did not mediate the effect of failing to confront on performance, the results nevertheless demonstrate the importance of confronting sexism, particularly when one wants to do so, and have important implications for settings like the workplace where women may face discrimination and have to decide whether or not to confront.
