Análise das funções de verbalizações de terapeuta e cliente sobre sentimentos, emoções e estados motivacionais na terapia analítico-comportamental
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2006-10-13) BARBOSA, João Ilo Coelho; TOURINHO, Emmanuel Zagury; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5960137946576592
Recent studies done by behavior analysts have aimed at gaining more knowledge about the function which self-descriptive accounts of feelings, emotions and motivational states (SEM) can have on the therapeutic process. This would allow for the development of a model of behavior-analytic intervention in light of such report. This study investigated the possible relationship between the clients verbalizations which were made concerning SEM, the interventions of the therapist in light of these comments and the evolution of the problems or complaints of the client in the development of a clinical case. The participants in the study were an experienced behavior-analytic therapist and a married adult client, who had no record of psychiatric problems. Thirty-six sessions were recorded, transcribed and analyzed over a period of one year. The analysis of the verbalizations which occurred in the sessions was done on the basis of four categories, two referring to the therapist: categories related to the basic functions of the therapists verbalization (FBVT) and categories of analysis. The other two categories referred to the client: categories of analysis and indicators of complaint or change. These categories were also compared regarding their occurrence within and outside of emotional episodes (EE), defined as sequences of dialogues between therapist and client, in which there was at least one mention of the clients SEM. The analysis of the results showed that the main complaints of the client were related to her husband, body events, mood, parents or relatives, work colleagues and the lack of assertiveness. The SEM which were referred to most in the report of the client and the therapist were those related to motivational states, sadness and fear. It was verified that the therapists interventions, in light of the accounts with reference to SEM took place mainly in the form of investigation and confrontation. Only a small portion of these interventions suggested any relationship between a response of the client and environmental contingencies, predominately the antecedent-response type. The client made more relationships between environmental events and her responses than the therapist did, which were also of the antecedent-response type. Regarding the evolution of complaints made, one can affirm that there was no evidence of the occurrence of consistent changes in the clients repertoire, nor in the way she referred to her problems. Comparing the categories which were studied within and outside of the EE, a major change was found in the FBVT, in the categories of analysis of the therapist and the client. There was also a larger number of and variation of the occurrences of indicators of complaint or change within such episodes. Such results confirmed that feelings, emotions and motivational states are targets of investigation and intervention of the analytic-behavioral therapist, which are consistent with existing literature. The clients and therapists mention of SEM or of related events strengthen the idea that these can be dealt with, some times as hidden responses, some times as private stimulus and quite frequently as the relationship between those who are involved in the events, as well as groups of interrelated links. Not being occasionally able to observe terms of behavioral relationships which define SEM did not lead to a different type of approach on the part of the therapist. On the contrary, the mention of SEM by the therapist and client seemed to favor the occurrence of verbalization which established connections between the clients behavior and environmental events.

Corpo, feminino e subjetivação: uma análise a partir de sujeitos portadores de Lúpus Eritematoso Sistêmico
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010) MORAIS, Jamile Luz; NICOLAU, Roseane Freitas; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0430583046421802
This dissertation intended to investigate, starting from the psychoanalytic method, the way of subjectivities of subject bearers of Lupus Erythematosus Systemic (LES). Leaving of the psychosomatic "character" of the disease and of your predominance in the feminine sex, we investigated if it is possible a relationship to exist between the way of subjectivities of the feminine and the development of the disease. To verify this relationship, we took as reference the two attacked patients' attendance of you LES, assisted in the context of the research. Ally to that, in order to base the attendances theoretically, we leaned over in Freud's works, Lacan and followers that stopped in the study of the symptomatic manifestations of the body, as well as in the thematic involving the way of subjectivities of the feminine and it unfolding. When considering that the body conception for the psychoanalysis is going besides the biological determinism, it was possible to verify that the subject, in the attempt of reaching your satisfaction, falls back upon the body as object of obtaining of psychic and sexual pleasure, depriving the laws of the physiology and of the anatomy. The psychosomatic phenomenon and the conversion hysteria come to evidence that, in the measure in that, at the same time in that they challenge the medical knowledge, they also dispute of us, psychologists and psychoanalysts, an explanation for such manifestations corporal, causeless organic certain. In that perspective, when placing us theoretically front those manifestations, we could identify the difference between the psychosomatic phenomena and the hysterical conversion, the one which, for being linked to the symbolic registration, it becomes susceptible to decode and interpretation. The psychosomatic phenomena, on the other hand, are characterized by being of the order of the impossible of representing, for this reason, they approach of the current manifestations in the feminine way of subjectivities, that it is outside of the language of the unconscious and, therefore, of the symbolic associations.

Entre o belo e o feio: das Unheimliche como princípio estético em Freud
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008) MAGALHÃES, Alex Wagner Leal; CHAVES, Ernani Pinheiro; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5741253213910825
The present work aimed study the Freud’s esthetic considerations present in the text “The Uncanny” (1919), how such positions promote a real discontinuity in the western esthetic thought. In this way, at least show how all the artistic production has in the unconscious material it’s main engine and source of inspiration, Freud inserts it in the group of the other productions of unconscious, (dreams, jokes, neurosis, etc). Nevertheless, in the context of “The Stranger”, Freud starts to understand the art not anymore as a production of the psycho apparatus moved by the principle of pleasure, therefore in this text Freud advances the matter of the death pulsing and the eternal return of undesirable feelings as the functioning of a subjectivity guided beyond the principle of pleasure, in this meaning, the death as the last stop of the existence starts being the great keynote of the new Freudian’s researches, and the beauty of the art would be like that hopelessly involved in the anguish and helpless provoked by the comeback of undesirable feelings. In this way the unheimlich while haunt and uneasiness feeling provoked by the devil’s pulsing that insists in being present, starts being faced by Freud as an important esthetic principle.

Função materna e a constituição subjetiva na condição de prematuridade
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-10-14) OLIVEIRA, Madalena Gonzaga de; NICOLAU, Roseane Freitas; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0430583046421802
Studies about the relation mother-baby reveal that the tie that involve this pair, in the case of a premature birth, presents specificities, being necessary to investigate the effect of the prematurity in this relationship, once that the researches in several areas show that the effects of that primordial tie reflects in the posterior development of the child. In this perspective, this dissertation is about an investigation of the exercise of the maternal function in one critical situation that is the premature birth. One of the specific issues of the prematurity found in this work with the mother is the difficulty of a libidinal investment in a little child, thin and fragile, due to her organic condition, that nothing resembles the imaginary son. The question is analyzed in a perspective that articulates psychoanalytic theory and clinical practice, showing the reciprocal influences, between prematurity, disturbances of the tie mother-baby, maternal function, psychopathology of the baby and subjective constitution. The clinical material constitutes of fragments of studies of articulated cases to the theoretical material, the listening of the mothers and the observation (readout) of the babies. The fragments allows to each reader to do his own construction even if it is to controvert the author, for as Derrida says, it is necessary deconstruct a knowledge to have new constructions, what corroborates Lacan referring that the knowledge is always a not-all. The interest in investigating the theme is in the possibility of reflections that may be useful to the work of other professionals involved with the health and the developments of babies and children.

O conceito de ansiedade na análise do comportamento
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2006-04-08) COÊLHO, Nilzabeth Leite; TOURINHO, Emmanuel Zagury; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5960137946576592
Issues concerning to anxiety have been discussed in Psychology focusing several different aspects, but definitions of anxiety are far from consensual. The difficulty is due to several reasons, among which is the lack of a precise reference to behavioral relations. Divergence is also found in behavior-analytic literature. Some accounts stress the role of direct contingencies in controlling patterns of anxiety responses. Other definitions approach verbal aspects as possible sources of additional control. In the late accounts, the multiple functions of ones self-descriptive reports and also the semantic conditioning have been pointed out as possible explanations. In the present work, 47 papers were examined in the behavior-analytic literature in order to identify the types of behavioral relationships that are being suggested in the different uses of the concept of anxiety in the Behavior Analysis and the (in)compatibility of those approaches. The study took as reference categories of register that refer to what each author says in terms of respondent, not verbal operant, verbal operant components, and intervention perspectives. A more qualitative analysis was carried out with the use of analytical categories that refer to (1) the role performed by the physiologic alterations in the definition of anxiety; (2) the verbal and nonverbal operant relations involved in the phenomenon, and (3) the implications of each one of those analyses to a face-to-face verbal therapy. This exam made possible the identification of variations in the definitions concerning to (1) the type of behavioral relations involved; (2) the arrangement of contingencies that produce those relations; (3) the corporeal conditions produced concomitantly by the same contingencies; (4) to the functions of those corporeal conditions in the behavioral relations, and (5) the processes through which verbal stimuli participate in those relations. However, those variations in the definition can be understood as complementary analyses not incompatible with each other. The explanation of behavioral phenomenon based on a complexity continuum can be a model capable of joining those variations, making possible an understanding of (1) the relational network that can take place in an instance of anxiety, as well as (2) the function carried out by each one of the components in the anxiety.

Parâmetros da escototaxia como modelo comportamental de ansiedade no paulistinha (danio rerio, cyprinidae, pisces)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-02-24) OLIVEIRA, Caio Maximino de; GOUVEIA JUNIOR, Amauri; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1417327467050274
Certain teleost fishes present a behavioral trait of scototaxis, the preference for dark environ- ments and not bright ones. The present work tried to evaluate some parameters of the explora- tory behavior of the zebrafish (Danio rerio Hamilton 1822) in the black/white tank, aiming to establish the reliability of measures in different contexts. White compartment avoidance presents a biphasic pattern, with an increase in avoidance preceding a decrease (Experiment 1). This same avoidance does not habituate to repeated exposure, independently of the inter- session interval, on the contrary of total locomotion (Experiments 2 and 3); forced exposure to the white compartment does not alter the subsequent exploratory behavior (Experiment 4). These results suggest that novelty is not the controlling dimension of scototaxis; besides, these results also suggest that the preference for the Black compartment is not caused simply by avoidance of the white compartment, although this certainly has an important role. The role of the aversiveness of the white compartment was assessed in a second series of experi- ments. The illumination above the white compartment is an anxiogenic factor, since increas- ing it decreases the time spent in the white compartment without affecting total locomotion (Experiment 5). This phenomenon seems to be due to a decrease in the capacity to camouf- lage with the substrate (crypsis), since altering the color of the white compartment to grey increases its exploration, while altering the color of the black compartment to grey increases the time spent in the white compartment (Experiment 6). Besides, the increase in the propor- tion of the apparatus occupied by the white compartment (from 50% to 75%) decreases the time spent in it (Experiment 7). These results suggest that the white compartment is aversive, and therefore the preference for darkness is not caused simply by positive reinforcing proper- ties of the black compartment. Taken together, the results of both series of experiments sug- gest that scototaxis results from an approach-avoidance conflict. Experiment 8 represents a common environmental manipulation which alters anxiety in rodents, environmental enrich- ment; here, animals raised in an enriched aquarium for two weeks present less white avoid- ance. It is concluded that scototaxis has good construct validity.

Uma discussão dos usos do termo eventos privados na análise do comportamento à luz de proposições do pragmatismo
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007-04-19) VASCONCELOS NETO, Aécio de Borba; TOURINHO, Emmanuel Zagury; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5960137946576592
Behavior Analysis distinguishes itself from other kinds of behaviorism by its original treatment for subjectivity. The concept of private events has been used in behavior-analytic literature as a major topic in the theme, allowing the scientist and the professional to deal with events inaccessible to public observation because of an instrumental criterion of truth. This paper aims to discuss the concept of private events from the standpoint of Pragmatism, a philosophy with which Behavior Analysis has been associated. Considering James and Rortys publications, the relevant implications of using the term private events are examined and the validity of such a concept to approach problems related to subjectivity is discussed using three analytical categories: (1) Implications of a relational verbal approach to the analysis of the issues concerning privacy; 2) Absence of a consensual view on the coherence between the concept of private events and the behavioral-analytic system; and 3) Functions of the concept of private events. We point out how is elaborated the importance of language for the definition of private world in behavior-analytic and also we point out the influence of that for a relational approach of subjectivity. We argue that behavior analysts have been using the term private events under control of phenomena with different nature and complexity, resulting in an absence of consensus about the coherence of the term with Behavior Analysis. When there is some consensus on this, there is a lack of consensus about the instrumentality of the concept. Thus, the coherence and the instrumentality of the concept of private events is conditioned to (1) which events the scientist or the professional is referring to, (2) the level of analysis (molar or molecular), and (3) the method used in the research. We found that, when there is some agreement about the coherence and the instrumentality of the concept, it is restricted to the papers dealing mainly with the context of clinical application. We conclude by stressing that the idea that the concept of private events is useful for Behavior Analysis is not fully accepted in the area, showing that more discussion on the concept of private events and the conceptual treatment of subjectivity is still needed.
