GAVIÃO, Ana Clara D. e PINTO, Kátia O. (1998) – Representações da interdisciplinaridade: um estudo através do Procedimento de Desenhos-Estórias com Tema [Representations of Interdisciplinarity: a Study through the Use of the Thematic Drawing-and-Story Procedure]. Revista de Psicologia Hospitalar. São Paulo (SP), 15 (2): 7-17.
Interdisciplinarity in the hospital context is justified by the practical need of a comprehensive understanding of the multiple factors inherent in the process of becoming ill. However, cooperative and integrated work is not always achieved by the health teams due to different levels of interest and commitment of the professionals. This study had the objective of verifying the usefulness of the Thematic Drawing-and-Story Procedure as a technique of investigation of the representation of an interdisciplinary team in psychologists acting in the hospital and also to subsidize a discussion about the subject. The results show that the D-E with a Theme facilitates the access to subjectivity in the interdisciplinary field, revealing, in this sample, a tendency to an intellectualized and formal posture, as opposed to emotivity. There is creative potential, but an effective interprofessional commitment seems to be still very idealized.
