Problema. Ainda não foram realizados estudos empíricos acerca da eficiência da Psicoterapia
Existencial com crianças.
Objectivo. O objectivo geral deste estudo é analisar a eficiência da Psicoterapia Existencial
com crianças.
Método. A amostra é constituída por 2 participantes do sexo feminino, com 7 e 12 anos que
realizaram Psicoterapia Existencial. A participante com 7 anos foi submetida a 13 sessões de
terapia, e a participante com 12 anos foi submetida a 10 sessões. Os dados quantitativos foram
recolhidos, antes e depois da terapia, através dos seguintes instrumentos: Young Person’s
Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation (YP – CORE) – Versão Portuguesa, e Simplified
Personal Questionnaire (PQ) – Versão adaptada às crianças. Os dados qualitativos, foram
obtidos através da Client Change Interview (CCI) e analisados com o Método
Fenomenológico de Investigação em Psicologia.
Resultados. Os resultados do YP-CORE não são estatisticamente significativos. Todavia, a
análise da CCI e do PQ indicou mudanças nas duas participantes.
Conclusão. A terapia Existencial com crianças parece ser eficiente. No entanto, é necessário
um maior número de sessões, para que se possa observar um maior número de melhorias, e
melhorias mais consistentes.
