Imagem corporal em crianças psicóticas: Estudo de caso através do Rorschach
Advisor(s)
Abstract(s)
A imagem do corpo tem sido alvo de interesse por parte de muitos autores e áreas e do
conhecimento, no entanto, o que se verifica é uma falta de consenso conceptual. O presente
artigo, fundamentando-se numa perspectiva psicanalítica, procura explorar com maior detalhe a
diversidade de conceptualizações dentro desta abordagem, e o que se constata, é que, apesar de
não haver concordância nos constructos, existe uma aproximação dos processos psíquicos,
dando uma relevância primordial às vivências relacionais para o desenvolvimento da
representação interna. Assim, com o objectivo de melhor se compreender o desenvolvimento da
imagem corporal na psicose, são descritos e pensados alguns mecanismos psíquicos
conceptualizados por Bion, fazendo ainda uma breve alusão ao processo de desenvolvimento
segundo dois outros autores: Winnicott e Anzieu. Segundo o quadro teórico Bioniano, o
desenvolvimento das patologias graves tem na sua origem dois factores preponderantes:
características inatas do bebé (e.g., pouca tolerância à frustração, ódio à realidade, medo de
aniquilamento iminente) e as falhas na relação precoce mãe-bebé (e.g., falha na função rêverie)
sendo que, são estes que de forma isolada ou conjuntamente, dão origem a várias perturbações
do funcionamento do psiquismo. É também, aqui descrita, alguma sintomatologia encontrada em
pacientes psicóticos, relacionada aos aspectos corporais, para finalmente, serem reflectidas como
as eventuais falhas no desenvolvimento precoce do psiquismo, poderão influenciar a imagem do
corpo.
ABSTRACT: The body image has been a topic of research in different areas of knowledge, however, there is a lack of conceptual consensus regarding the delimitation of the concept. This article, aims to explore the diversity of conceptualizations of body image according to psychoanalytic perspective of the phenomenon. Although there is a lack of agreement in the construct, there are similarities regarding the psychic processes underlying the construction of the body image. Primary relational experiences are emphasized in the development of internal representation. In order to understand the development of body image in psychosis, Bion’s conceptualizations of thought and psychic processes are used. It is also introduced a brief allusion to the development process described by Winnicott and Anzieu. According to Bion’s theoretical framework, the development of mental diseases has its origin in two factors: innate characteristics of the baby (e.g., low tolerance to frustration, hatred, fear of imminent annihilation) and the flaws in early motherinfant relationship (e.g., mother’s inability to perform the rêverie function). It is also described some symptoms in psychotic patients related to body and finally an analysis of the possible flaws in the early psyche development, and how it may influence the body image.
