Nesta investigação explora-se a noção de espaço de vida e a vantagem da sua aplicação na compreensão do funcionamento mental.
O modelo proposto por Meltzer (1973/1990, 1974/1994, 1978a/1994, 1978b/1998, 1984, 1986, 1991/1992, 1992; Meltzer Bremner, Hoxter, Weddell & Wittenberg, 1975; Meltzer & Williams, 1988/1994), divide o espaço mental em seis áreas geográficas – mundo externo, útero, interior dos objectos externos, interior dos objectos internos, mundo interno e sistema delirante (situado em “lugar nenhum”, a única que não tem realidade específica) – que se diferenciam e desenvolvem segundo a dimensão do tempo (que é fechado, circular, oscilatório e linear, no progresso maturativo), caracterizando vivências dimensionais progressivamente mais complexas – unidimensional, bidimensional, tridimensional e quadridimensional. Apesar de não oferecer uma construção clara da dinâmica implícita no funcionamento psíquico, este quadro teórico contempla todos os aspectos que o definem e permite o estudo aprofundado de cada um deles, revelando-se valioso e promissor no conhecimento da mente humana.
A utilização da técnica Rorschach na caracterização da geografia mental e das dimensionalidades que dão forma ao funcionamento mental constitui-se como uma mais-valia do ponto de vista da investigação psicanalítica. O estudo de um caso clínico e do protocolo que o integra, para o qual foram criados procedimentos de análise específicos, resultantes da articulação dos pressupostos teóricos com a metodologia Rorschach descrita por Chabert (1997/2003, 1998/2000), confirma a viabilidade e potencialidade desta abordagem na investigação e compreensão do espaço de vida, com benefícios ao nível da prática clínica, mas sobretudo no aprofundamento do conhecimento teórico que a enquadra.
ABSTRACT: This investigation explores the notion of life-space and the advantages of its application to understand the mental functioning. In Meltzer’s model (1973/1990, 1974/1994, 1978a/1994, 1978b/1998, 1984, 1986, 1991/1992, 1992; Meltzer Bremner, Hoxter, Weddell & Wittenberg, 1975; Meltzer & Williams, 1988/1994) the mental space is divided in six geographic areas – external world, utero, inside of the external objects, inside of the internal objects, internal world and delusional system (in “nowhere”, the only who has not psychic reality). Each geographic area develops and become differentiated according to the dimension of time (closed, circular, oscillatory and linear in the course of maturation process) characterizing gradually more complex dimensional experiences – one-dimensionality, two-dimensionality, three-dimensionality and four-dimensionality. Despite this model not providing a clear view of the dynamics of mental functioning, it covers all the aspects that defines it and allows a deep study of each of them, bringing valuable and promising regarding knowledge the study of human mind. The use of Rorschach technique to describe the mental geography and the various dimensionalities can bring important contributions to psychoanalytic research. Specific analytical procedures were created based on articulation between the theory and the methodology described by Chabert (1997/2003, 1998/2000). Clinical material from a Rorschach protocol was analyzed revealing that this approach it’s feasible and has potential not only in clinical practice but also on theoretical level.
