Estudo exploratório com indivíduos com depressão por meio do Rorschach, Sistema Compreensivo

Abstract

An exploratory study was conducted in patients diagnosed with depression. Seventy-nine adults participated characterized as: G1, unipolar depressive (n=38); G2, with depressive cognitive slips (n=25), and G3, nondepressed with mental disorders (n=16). A descriptive and comparative analysis between groups considered Rorschach variables: production capacity, R; focus of attention, lambda; EB style and the Depression Index, DEPI. The Structured Clinical Interview for DSM, SCID-I and II was used for the assessment of the sample. Means of R were: G1=24.0, G2=20.0, G3=26.0. Averages for Lambda: G1=0.96, G2=1.21, G3=1.10. The EB ambigual type prevailed in all the groups. Differences in DEPI for G1 were: shaded view [FV+VF+V>0], p=0.016; achromatic color [SumC’>2], p=0.009, and egocentricity index [EGO0], p=0,016; cor acromática [SumC’>2], p=0,009; índice de egocentrismo [EGO0], p=0,016; color acromático [SumC’>2], p=0,009; y el egocentrismo [EGO<.33], p=0,0002. Los datos indicaron autocrítica y auto-estima baja y el sufrimiento mayor en el grupo de depresión unipolar. La depresión con resbalones cognitivas mostró más estrecho foco de atención. Todos los grupos demostraron adecuada capacidad de producción, sin embargo la limitación crónica de algunas habilidades de adaptación
