Abstract(s)
Nas últimas décadas, o modelo de relação da não monogamia consensual (NMC) tem
ganho mais visibilidade na investigação e na intervenção. Existem evidências de
mononormatividade, em que pessoas que adotam este modelo de relação experienciam
estigma por parte da população geral e de psicólogos. No mesmo sentido, casais com
experiências de infidelidade encontram, muitas vezes, preconceito e discriminação. Neste
estudo experimental manipulou-se, com recurso a vinhetas clínicas, pedidos de terapia de
casal de casais monogâmicos vs. monogamish, onde tinha havido, ou não tinha havido,
um evento prévio de infidelidade. Incluiu-se ainda no design um fator medido,
relacionado com a situação profissional dos participantes: profissionais de saúde mental
vs. estudantes de psicologia. Neste estudo misto, mediu-se a aliança terapêutica
imaginada perante cada vinheta e questionou-se, em perguntas abertas, sobre possíveis
temáticas e ressonâncias. A amostra final foi constituída por 129 participantes (69.3%
profissionais). Nos resultados, não emergem padrões claramente distintos face a casais
monogâmicos ou monogamish, apesar de indicações da existência de um viés positivo
para a monogamia e uma falta de preparação identificada pelos participantes para o
trabalho clínico com NMC. Por outro lado, face à infidelidade verificam-se dados
contraditórios, com posições ora mais favoráveis, ora mais desfavoráveis. Não se
verificou uma diferença entre os estudantes e os profissionais de saúde mental, apesar dos
primeiros terem imaginado uma aliança terapêutica mais elevada e respondido em menor
proporção às questões qualitativas. Discutem-se as implicações clínicas para a formação
psicológica e psicoterapêutica.
ABSTRACT: In the last decades, the consensually nonmonogamous (CNM) relationship model has gained more visibility in investigation and intervention. There is evidence of mononormativity, in which people that adopt this relationship model experience stigma from the general population and psychologists. In the same way, couples with infidelity experience encounter, many times, prejudice and discrimination. In this experimental study, requests for therapy were manipulated by couples from monogamous vs. monogamish couples, where there had been, or had not been, a previous event of infidelity. It was still included in the design a measured factor, related to the professional situation of the participants: mental health professionals vs. psychology students. In this mixed study, the imagined therapeutic alliance was measured towards each vignette, and it was questioned, in open ended questions, about possible thematic and resonances. The final sample was consisted of 129 participants (69.3% professionals). In the results, no clearly distinct patterns emerge in relation to monogamous or monogamish couples, despite indications of the existence of a positive bias towards monogamy and a lack of preparation identified by the participants for clinical work with CNM. On the other hand, facing infidelity, there are contradictory data, with positions that are either more or less favourable. There was no difference between the students and the mental health professionals, although the former imagined a higher therapeutic alliance and answered the qualitative questions to a lesser extent. The clinical implications for psychological and psychotherapeutic training are discussed.
