Master’s Dissertation – Instituto de Psicologia da USP. São Paulo (SP), 2002.
This work had as objective the study of the characteristics of the psychic dynamic of children that belong to short lace families; and also improve the application of the Drawing-and-Story Procedure to the attendance for this population and developing a relationship between the Winnicott’s theory and the instrument applied. For obtaining those objectives, the Drawing-and-Story Procedure, proposed by Trinca (1976), was utilized. The subjects were 10 children by seven to nine years old from slow-lace families, so considered when they had mensal gain of, in the maxim, three minimum salaries. The method of the clinic case study was utilized. The data were paired and confronted with the results obtained in the study of Tardivo (1985), who had obtained the patronization of the Drawing-and-Story Procedure with children of medial social-economical level. A content analysis of the D-E was realized and we used as reference the groups and the traces obtained in the studies of Tardivo (1985). The data of the subjects of this work were analyzed and the conclusions and results were discussed based on Winnicott’s Theory. It was possible to see several data related to the development of these subjects with these procedures. In the analysis of the graphics aspects, the pictures appeared much retrograded, which confirms the existence of primitive mechanisms to deal with reality. The production units showed the presence of elevated attitudes of insecurity, marks of hostility (with opposition attitudes). It was observed the presence of ambivalence feelings relative to the parents pictures, most of the subjects show hostility or parents omission. Prevalence feelings brought from the conflict and a great necessity to supply basic needs of protection, to be cared for and a big incidence of oral necessities. There was also the prevalence of paranoid anxieties and of regressed defense mechanisms (how splitting, regression and fixation to the primitive steps and projection). The conclusion of this work showed that, with the Drawing-and-Story Procedure applied, children are able to express their basic conflicts and the difficulties found in the different contexts where they live. In the same way, we concluded that this technique of psychological evaluation is an efficient first step of planning, of intervention programs directioned to the needs of this population.
