O psicodiagnóstico interventivo em três crianças com diagnóstico neurológico de transtorno de déficit de atenção e hiperatividade (TDAH)

Abstract

This investigation on the clinical support to three children with Attention Deficit Disorder / Hiperactivity (ADDH) and complain of learning disabilities has aimed at identifying the resources in psychologist/client relation which the children had as facilitating their comprehension of themselves, and which provided to them conditions to deal with their difficulties. Theoretical basis was divided into two topics: one of them related to the clinical support and interventions, emphasizing the intervening diagnosis proposed by Ancona-Lopez (1987), Ancona-Lopez et al. (1995), and Trinca (1984). The other topic was related to ADDH, based on specialists such as Barkley (2002), and Marcelli (1998). Qualitative analysis was carried out in three phases: Categorization, Categories Grouping, and Reflections on data. The analysis evidenced that intervening diagnosis (1) facilitated the clinical support to children with ADDH and learning disabilities, and (2) pointed out the psychologist's effective intervention in punctual moments, as well as the comprehension of resources that can be used for identifying how the client feels in relation to her/his difficulties, perceiving the moments when she/he shows her/his abilities, making possible to her/him deal with and overcome difficulties.
