Abstract(s)
Através deste artigo, a autora pretende apresentar um estudo de caso relativo a um
trabalho de investigação e avaliação, realizado com um sujeito portador de uma incapacidade
física, adquirida há cerca de nove anos.
A autora pressupõe a existência de uma relação entre a identidade e imagem corporal e
as alterações provocadas por uma lesão física.
A perspectiva teórica e clínica apresentada está inerente a todo um processo
compreensivo face à forma como o sujeito lida com a sua lesão. Ao longo do trabalho
desenvolvido com o sujeito, aqui designado como Pedro, é possível inferir acerca das suas
vivências inerentes ao contexto familiar, social e afectivo, que posteriormente se traduz na
reacção à lesão e na sua própria identidade. Verificou-se que a resolução do processo de luto,
face à perda de funcionalidade e a forma de acesso à posição depressiva são factores decisivos
na adaptação à sua nova condição.
ABSTRACT: In this article the author tries to present a case study concerning an investigation and assessment work done with an individual suffering from a physical incapacity which was acquired nine years ago. In the author’s opinion there is a relationship between identity, body image and the transformations due to physical injury. The theoretical and clinical approach shown in this article is based on the interpretation of how this individual deals with his own injury. From the work developed with this individual, here under the name of Pedro, one can make some inferences as far as his family, social and affective life is concerned, which is related to his reaction to the injury and its consequences. It was possible to see that the resolution of the mourning process towards the loss of functions and the state of depression are decisive factors so that this individual can accept and adapt himself to his new condition.
