Abstract(s)
Esta investigação qualitativa procura compreender os objectivos e impactos das práticas
relacionais terapêuticas em psicoterapia existencial. À luz dos eventos significativos que ocorrem no
contexto terapêutico e das práticas relacionais que marcam a postura do terapeuta, aplicou-se o SET
1-Formulário de eventos significativos do terapeuta. Foi solicitada a participação de 4 terapeutas
existenciais e 10 pacientes em processo terapêutico na clínica de uma Universidade em Lisboa.
Os resultados mostram que os terapeutas existenciais procuram fomentar a proximidade
relacional e criar um espaço terapêutico favorável onde cada cliente tenha espaço para se sentir
acolhido, aceite e compreendido (através de Competências Relacionais). A promoção de
reflexividade, questionamento e consciencialização são objectivos mais facilmente conseguidos
através das Técnicas Relacionais. Através destas, pretende-se que haja uma promoção do sentido de
responsabilização e autonomia do cliente, mas também apropriação e tomada de consciência de
aspectos significativos do seu world-view. Muitos dos impactos verificados, como a
consciencialização, compreensão e reflexividade são comuns quer às posturas, quer às técnicas
relacionais.
ABSTRACT: This qualitative study aims to understand the goals and the impacts of therapist's relational practice in existential psychotherapy. Based on the significant events that occur in the therapeutic context and on the relational practices that characterize the therapist’s attitude, it was applied the SET 1- Significant Event Therapist - Form. In this study, it was requested the participation of 4 existential therapists and 10 patients, who have been on a therapeutic process in a University Clinic located in Lisbon. The results show that the existential therapists focus on promoting the relational proximity and create an ambience where each client has the chance to feel welcomed accepted and understood (by relational competences). On the other hand, the promotion of reflexivity questioning and awareness is better achieved by relational techniques. Through those, the therapist aims to promote the sense of accountability and self-determination, but also the appropriation and awareness of significant aspects regarding the patient’s world-view. Some of the impacts/goals that have been found (like understanding, reflexivity and awareness) are common to use either relational competences or relational techniques.
