Advisor(s)
Abstract(s)
Este trabalho, de natureza qualitativa, teve como principal objetivo caracterizar as
dificuldades das relações fraternas entre gémeos com Paralisia Cerebral. Desta forma,
foi analisado o modo como os irmãos se relacionam e como solucionam conflitos e
rivalidades, assumindo cada par a sua individualidade.
Para melhor entendimento sobre esta questão, foram realizados três estudos de caso
com gémeos. Os participantes são: dois gémeos de 6 anos, com Hidrocefalia com
Atraso de Desenvolvimento Psico-motor, nos dois elementos; um par com 7 anos, em
que um dos elementos tem um diagnóstico de Atraso Global de Desenvolvimento com
perturbação Específica da linguagem, e o outro sem diagnóstico psicológico; um
terceiro par com 8 anos, tendo um dos gémeos diagnóstico de Paralisia Cerebral, Ataxia
congénita, e o outro sem diagnóstico psicológico.
Neste trabalho é também incluída a vertente parental, tendo sido realizada uma
entrevista onde se expressam as dificuldades vivenciadas antes e após o nascimento dos
gémeos, quer no que toca a parte emocional, quer quanto a questões práticas do
quotidiano.
Este trabalho contempla questões relacionais dos gémeos no que concerne à resolução
dos seus conflitos, à forma como ultrapassam a separação nos eventuais casos de
internamento e como lidam com as limitações no dia-a-dia.
Verificou-se que cada par assume uma forma individual de resolução de dificuldades: o
primeiro par apresenta forte cumplicidade, no segundo, verifica-se alguma rivalidade e
competição e, no último par, a irmã, o elemento sem diagnóstico psicológico, protege e
defende o seu irmão, assumindo o papel de cuidadora.
