O presente estudo insere-se no domínio da Psicologia Clinica, particularmente no que diz respeito ao construto sentido de vida.
Apesar da vasta literatura existente acerca do construto sentido de vida, parece não existir uma definição clara e estável que permita não apenas o seu estudo empírico como a sua aplicabilidade na área da psicologia. Da falta de consenso teórico decorrem dois problemas: (1) ao nível da investigação empírica e da mensuração; (2) ao nível da sua aplicabilidade na área de intervenção clínica.
Este trabalho propõe-se atingir os seguintes objetivos: (1) realizar uma revisão de literatura das diferentes definições dos modelos teóricos do construto sentido de vida; (2) avaliar e propor um enquadramento/organização para o conceito; proposta de integração dos diferentes modelos teóricos para uma melhor e clara definição do construto: (3) perceber como é que o sentido de vida tem tido impacto ao nível da investigação empírica e, em particular, na área da psicológica clinica; (4) como é que o sentido de vida tem sido aplicado ao nível da intervenção psicológica/terapêutica.
Foi assim realizada uma revisão de literatura, após a qual foi feita uma integração dos resultados num Modelo de Integração do Sentido de Vida.
The present study is within the field of Clinical Psychology, particularly with regard to the construction of the meaning of life. Despite the vast literature surrounding the construct meaning of life, there seems to be no clear and stable definition that allows not only its empirical study but its applicability in the field of psychology. From the lack of theoretical consensus, two problems arise: (1) at the level of empirical investigation and measurement; (2) at the level of its applicability in the clinical intervention area. This work aims to achieve the following objectives: (1) to carry out a literature review of the different definitions of the theoretical models of the construct meaning of life; (2) evaluate and propose a framework / organization for the concept; Proposal of integration of the different theoretical models for a better and clear definition of the construct: (3) to understand how the meaning of life has had an impact at the level of empirical research, and particularly in the area of clinical psychology; (4) how the meaning of life has been applied to the level of psychological / therapeutic intervention. A literature review was carried out after which the results were integrated into a Meaning in Life Integration Model.
