Online psychotherapy was recognized by the Federal Council of Psychology Resolution n. 11/2018. With the official recognition of this practice, many professionals raised questions about its equivalence to face-to-face psychotherapy and the possible need of technical adaptations. Considering the lack of research on this theme, this study aimed to explore how psychodynamic/psychoanalytical psychotherapists perceive their own practice in online settings, including technical and relational aspects of the therapeutic process, in comparison to their experience in face-to-face treatments. This is a qualitative study with an exploratory approach. Eight psychologists responded to videoconference interviews. The interviews were audiotaped, fully transcribed, and analyzed by thematic analysis. Results were organized in two major themes (online psychotherapy practice and technique and psychodynamic process in online psychotherapy). Main results indicate online psychodynamic psychotherapy has many distinctive features (e.g. relying on quality of internet connection, fostering focal process, occurring in a more vulnerable setting, and eliciting a different pattern of communication) that require adaptation from therapist. Implication of findings to psychotherapy training and practice are discussed.
Este trabalho teve por objetivo identificar e comparar as representações mentais de crianças maltratadas e não maltratadas com base nas narrativas do MSSB, e avaliar as propriedades psicométricas iniciais de tal instrumento. Participaram 90 crianças em idade escolar de 6-10 anos de idade (M=8,0), sendo 30 vítimas de maus-tratos e 60 não vítimas. Os instrumentos utilizados foram o SDQ e MSSB. As representações mentais das crianças maltratadas foram retratadas como mais negativas, se comparadas às não maltratadas, com teores de cunho mais agressivo, indicando baixa regulação emocional e impulsividade frente a situações conflitantes e, figuras de cuidado mais inseguras e ineficazes. Evidencia-se, ainda, que alguns itens do MSSB são capazes de discriminar os grupos de forma significativa, além deste apresentar bons índices de confiabilidade. Evidencia-se as narrativas como útil recurso de avaliação e planejamento de intervenções terapêuticas com essas crianças. Desenvolvimento de novos estudos nacionais a fim de aprimorar técnicas validas e para compreender as representações no âmbito da violência infantil. Palavras-chave: representação mental, maus-tratos, narrativas infantis. ABSTRACT-MacArthur Stem Story Battery: Child Narratives as Access to Mental Representations The objective of this study was to identify and compare the mental representations of abused and non-abused children based on MSSB narratives, and to evaluate the initial psychometric properties of such instrument. Ninety school age children, from 6-10 years old (M=8.0), participated in the study, of which 30 were victims of mistreatment and 60 were non-victims. The instruments used were the SDQ and MSSB. Mental representations of abused children were portrayed as more negative when compared to non-abused ones, with more aggressive characteristics indicating low emotional regulation and impulsivity in the face of conflicting situations, and more insecure and ineffective care figures. Some items of the MSSB also evidenced an ability to discriminate the groups in a significant way, in addition to presenting good reliability indices. The narratives are shown as a useful resource for the evaluation and planning of therapeutic interventions with these children. Development of new national studies is recommended in order to improve valid techniques and to understand representations in the field of child violence.
