Advisor(s)
Abstract(s)
As Perturbações do Comportamento Alimentar (P.C.A.) constituem uma
problemática que tem uma incidência significativa nos adolescentes portugueses, o
que representa um desafio para os profissionais de saúde. Os investigadores da
área das P.C.A. referem que o estudo da Autonomia e do seu desenvolvimento
revestem-se de grande importância na Psicologia da Adolescência. O presente
estudo tem como objectivo investigar como se desenvolve um processo de
mudança centrado na promoção da Autonomia. Neste sentido recorreu-se à
metodologia de Estudo de Caso (de natureza mista), onde se utilizou como
instrumentos a Entrevista Clínica, Provas Projectivas e o Questionário de
Autonomia Comportamental. Participaram voluntariamente neste estudo duas
adolescentes (12 e 14 anos), com diagnóstico de Anorexia Nervosa, com as quais
foi realizada uma Avaliação Psicológica Inicial de forma a perceber as
problemáticas mais salientes. Verificando-se que a Autonomia, nomeadamente na
esfera relacional, se manifestou a problemática vigente, foi realizada uma
Intervenção Psicológica Individual (duração de oito meses) – centrada nos
comportamentos e posturas que promovem a Autonomia em detrimento das
temáticas directamente relacionadas com o corpo – neste sentido, observando-se
no final um salto qualitativo, bem como um aumento dos movimentos de Autonomia
Emocional, Comportamental e de Valores. No decurso da Intervenção Psicológica
Individual observou-se ainda o desenvolvimento do Processo de Mudança, sendo
que em ambas as adolescentes ocorreu uma descentração das questões
relacionadas com o corpo e a alimentação.
