O presente estudo tem como principal objectivo a exploração e compreensão do
sentido da experiência subjectiva com a ayahuasca, tal como vivido e relatado pelos
sujeitos entrevistados, com o intuito de responder à seguinte questão de investigação:
“Como é vivenciada a experiência subjectiva e qual o significado atribuído a
ayahuasca”. Foram realizadas entrevistas fenomenológicas a quatro indivíduos,
usuários desta substância. As entrevistas foram transcritas na íntegra e posteriormente
analisadas minuciosamente, através do Método Fenomenológico de Investigação em
Psicologia, segundo Amadeo Giorgi e Daniel Sousa.
Na análise dos resultados foi possível encontrar-se nos dados recolhidos a
existência de constituintes essenciais comuns e com uma interacção entre as descrições
dos quatro participantes. Os resultados obtidos neste estudo sugerem a existência de 14
constituintes: Crescimento espiritual, procura de autoconhecimento, intenção, sensações
físicas, percepções extra-sensoriais, episódios marcantes, confronto com vivências
emocionais e psicológicas pertubadoras, propósito de vida, estados modificados de
consciência, purificação, dificuldade em verbalizar, mudança de atitude na esfera
relacional, mudança na visão do mundo e transcendência.
Embora os resultados obtidos sejam subjectivos e não generalizáveis, vão de
encontro a algumas teorias e estudos realizados neste âmbito. Na discussão consta os
resultados obtidos em diálogo com os resultados de investigações conduzidas por outros
pesquisadores.
