Abstract(s)
Pela necessidade de implantação de terapias alternativas para aqueles que não respondem
aos tratamentos disponíveis, é essencial perceber como é que os profissionais de saúde
mental se projetam e percecionam a terapia assistida por psicadélicos. Deste modo, o
estudo teve como objetivo avaliar as atitudes e as práticas clínicas de uma amostra de
psicoterapeutas (n=118) e relacionar com alguns traços de personalidade, tais como
“abertura à experiência” e “conscienciosidade”. Os resultados adquiridos, demonstraram
que em média as atitudes encontram-se neutras, mas mais positivas numa variável em
relação à legitimidade da investigação e carreira da terapia assistida por psicadélicos.
Constataram-se correlações positivas entre as atitudes e a “abertura à experiência”, entre
práticas clínicas e “abertura à experiência” e práticas clínicas e “conscienciosidade”.
Além disso, os psicoterapeutas que possuam até 5 anos de prática laboral apresentaram
uma maior capacidade de abordar confortavelmente sobre o uso das substâncias
psicadélicas. Os participantes que relataram história de uso pessoal destas substâncias de
forma terapêutica, apresentaram atitudes mais positivas em comparação ao grupo que não
relatou nenhum historial, bem como, psicoterapeutas que apresentaram preferência pela
abordagem transpessoal demonstraram uma clara tendência para atitudes mais positivas.
Estes resultados demonstram uma referência sobre a forma como os psicoterapeutas
percecionam a terapia assistida por psicadélicos, assim como, proporciona informações
pertinentes para as sociedades de psicoterapia que fornecem formação aos futuros
profissionais de saúde mental.
ABSTRACT: Given the need to implement alternative therapies for those who do not respond to the available treatments, it is essential to understand how mental health professionals view and perceive psychedelic-assisted therapy. Therefore, the study aimed to assess the attitudes and clinical practices of a sample of psychotherapists (n=118) and relate them to certain personality traits, such as “openness to experience” and “conscientiousness”. The results showed that, on average, attitudes were neutral, but more positive on one variable in relation to the legitimacy of psychedelic-assisted therapy research and careers. Positive correlations were found between attitudes and “openness to experience”, between clinical practices and “openness to experience”, and clinical practices and “conscientiousness”. In addition, psychotherapists with up to five years' experience in the field were more likely to be able to talk comfortably about the use of psychedelics. Participants who reported a history of personal therapeutic use of these substances showed more positive attitudes compared to the group who reported no history, and psychotherapists who showed a preference for the transpersonal approach showed a clear tendency towards more positive attitudes. These results provide a benchmark for how psychotherapists perceive psychedelic-assisted therapy, as well as providing pertinent information for psychotherapy societies that provide training to future mental health professionals.
