| With this research it is expected to achieve results of significant improvement in depressive and anxious symptoms on the part of patients seen at the outpatient clinic. Such verification will be measured quantitatively with the application (before the intervention) and reapplication (end of the intervention) of the following instruments: Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Significant reductions with significance level ? = 0.05 or 5% will be considered significant. Qualitative data will be collected from psychoanalytic theory, as well as Content Analysis, a strategy widely used in the treatment of discourses in qualitative research that encompasses a set of strategies, whose objective is the search for the meanings contained in documents, material collected through interviews, observation notes taken in field diaries and record of attendance sessions (BARDIN, 1977).;It is hoped to build a database for a thorough assessment of the patients' psychological status, as well as personality data. For this, a battery of tests will be adopted, which are: - Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) - Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) - Personality Test (Rorschach Test) - The revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R) ;Secondary outcomes are not expected | — |
