Abstract(s)
O suicídio e os comportamentos da esfera suicidária são considerados fenómenos complexos e multifacetados. É uma problemática atual, apresentando um grande impacto não só na pessoa como em toda a família e comunidade. A depressão surge aliada a esta problemática, sendo a causa que mais contribui para as mortes por suicídio. O meio prisional assume-se como um contexto particular para o desenvolvimento destes comportamentos dados os fatores de risco presentes. Desta forma, torna-se crucial encontrar estratégias de intervenção que facilitem a relação da pessoa consigo própria e com o meio onde se insere. Uma das estratégias delineadas passou pela utilização de mediadores expressivos, com a finalidade de facilitar a expressão de emoções, sentimentos e pensamentos desencadeando assim processos de autoconhecimento e autoconsciência, construção de insight, promoção da criatividade e raciocínio sobre novas vias de resolução para as situações, desenvolvimento de competências sociais e avaliação/ promoção da vontade de viver e de se perspetivar no futuro. Deste modo, delineámos como objetivos para o presente trabalho: caracterizar os comportamentos da esfera suicidária; compreender o papel dos comportamentos da esfera suicidária na história de vida dos indivíduos; adquirir competências na dinamização de grupos terapêuticos com recurso a mediadores expressivos; avaliar o impacto da utilização de mediadores expressivos na relação terapêutica. Perante estes objetivos realizámos programas de intervenção, usando a expressão plástica como mediador expressivo. Os programas tiveram como participantes oito adultos, de ambos os sexos, com idades compreendidas entre os 24 e os 59 anos, tendo sido realizadas sessões individuais e em grupo. No final de cada sessão houve um momento de partilha e constatámos que a expressão de ideias, emoções/ sentimentos e experiências foi sendo desenvolvida e aprofundada, assim como a capacidade de socialização. Os resultados que obtivemos das intervenções vão no sentido do desenvolvimento competências a nível da expressão de emoções, do autoconhecimento e da socialização, diminuindo o isolamento social, o que teve impacto no humor, na descoberta de potencialidades individuais e no aumento da esperança e da autoestima.
Suicide and behaviors within the suicidal sphere are considered complex and multifaceted phenomena. It is a current issue, presenting a significant impact not only on the individual but also on the entire family and community. Depression is closely associated with this problem and is the leading cause contributing to suicides. The prison environment is recognized as a particular context for the development of these behaviors due to the presence of risk factors. Therefore, it becomes crucial to find intervention strategies that facilitate the individual’s relationship with themselves and the environment they are in. One of the strategies devised involved the use of expressive mediators to facilitate the expression of emotions, feelings, and thoughts, thereby triggering processes of self-awareness, insight building, promotion of creativity and reasoning regarding new avenues for resolution, development of social skills, and assessment/promotion of the will to live and envision one’s future. Thus, our objectives for this study were: to identify/characterize behaviors within the suicidal sphere, to understand the role of these behaviors in individuals’ life histories, to acquire skills in facilitating therapeutic groups using expressive mediators, and to evaluate the impact of using expressive mediators in the therapeutic relationship. In line with these objectives, we implemented intervention programs using visual arts as an expressive mediator. The programs involved eight adults of both sexes, ranging in age from 24 to 59 years old. Individual and group sessions were conducted. At the end of each session, there was a moment of sharing and we observed that the expression of ideas, emotions/feelings and experiences was being developed and deepened, as well as the ability to socialize. The results we obtained from the interventions aimed at developing skills in terms of expressing emotions, self-knowledge and socialization, reducing social isolation, which had an impact on mood, discovering of individual potential, and an increase in hope and self-esteem.
