Abstract(s)
Apesar da existência de investigação em torno dos benefícios terapêuticos e respetiva
contribuição dos Doutores Palhaço, em contexto de humanização hospitalar, é ainda escassa a
literatura, essencialmente em Portugal, sobre uma abordagem mais aprofundada dos possíveis
benefícios terapêuticos que o arquétipo do palhaço poderá trazer para o sujeito, em contexto de
dinâmica grupal. Este estudo tem por principal objetivo aceder à compreensão das implicações
individuais – ao nível pessoal e emocional – dos participantes, no decorrer de um Workshop de
“Linguagem Clown”, bem como compreender que tipo de ligações poderão ser sugeridas pelos
participantes que estabeleçam pontes para eventuais aspetos terapêuticos. Para tal, acedemos às
descrições da experiência subjetiva da vivência no decorrer do Workshop de “Linguagem
Clown” de quatro participantes, através de entrevistas qualitativas de caráter fenomenológico,
sendo gravadas em áudio e posteriormente transcritas e analisadas de acordo com o Método
Fenomenológico de Investigação em Psicologia. O Workshop de “Linguagem Clown” derivou
num desafio pessoal e emocional para os participantes, originando um potencial de auto
conhecimento; foram levantados aspetos significativos na relação Eu-Outro; possibilitou ao
participante um contacto íntimo consigo próprio, através do “olhar” do outro (do grupo) e da
exposição das suas fragilidades pessoais, no decorrer dos exercícios/dinâmicas; o grupo
proporcionou sentimentos de coesão, pertença e autoaceitação, possibilitando uma abertura
emocional benéfica; o grupo facilitou o contacto com emoções mais íntimas e inexploradas do
participante; apesar de inconclusivo, dadas as restrições do estudo, com o Workshop de
“Linguagem Clown”, tanto a importância do grupo, como a expressão emocional, surgiram como
possíveis elementos que poderão ser benéficos a nível terapêutico.
ABSTRACT: Although the investigating work around therapeutic benefits and its contribution from “Doutores Palhaço”, in hospital humanization context, the literature, especially in Portugal, is still scarce when it comes to a deeper approach of the possible therapeutic benefits that the clown archetype could bring to the subject, in group dynamic context. The main objective of this study is to access the understanding of the individual implications –personal and emotional – of the participants, during a “Clown Language” Workshop, as well as understanding the kind of connections that could be suggested by the participants that establish bridges to possible therapeutic aspects. To do so, we accessed the descriptions of the subjective experience of four participants during the “Clown Language” Workshop, through qualitative interviews of phenomenological nature, having them audio taped and later transcribed and analyzed according to the Método Fenomenológico de Investigação em Psicologia. The “Clown Language” Workshop derived in a personal and emotional challenge to the participants giving it a self knowledge potential; significant aspects of the self-other relationship were raised; making it possible to the participant an intimate contact with itself, through the “eyes” of the other (the group) and the exposure of its personal weaknesses, during the exercises/dynamics; the group provided feelings of cohesion, belonging and self acceptance, enabling an emotionally benefic openness; the group made the participant´s contact with more intimate and unexplored emotions easier; although inclusive, giving the study´s restrictions, with the “Clown Language” Workshop, the importance of group, as well as the emotional expression, came up as possible elements that could be therapeutically beneficial.
