Os valores criativos e vivenciais no atendimento psicológico de pessoas com deficiência intelectual: Um relato de experiência.

Abstract

Intellectual disability causes cognitive or behavioral dysfunctions, psychomotor difficulties and social interaction, which can be observed, for example, from a delay in learning, interfering in the process of autonomy of people in this condition. Logotherapy and Existential Analysis emerges as a theoretical framework, contributing to the reflection that even if someone has a disability they remain a person with values and potentials equal to others. This article aims to elucidate, through an experience report, the ways that can contribute to the psychotherapeutic care to the person with ID using as a tool the creative and experiential values. This is a descriptive experience report, which highlights the psychological care provided to people with ID in the Association of Parents and Friends of the Exceptional. It is used as playful resources for games, music, drawings and literature, consolidating the practical and therapeutic management stimulating autonomy and self-confidence. In the discussion of the reports it was noticeable that the difficulties of people with ID are expressed in a unique way, and that these difficulties cannot limit the potentialities of glimpsing others possibilities, starting to see the limitation as an opportunity to realize meaning, mainly through creative and experiential values. It is known that the care directed to people with disabilities requires a sensitive look, since these people usually suffer from prejudice. It is necessary to avoid a reductionist vision, working its potentialities. Thus, Logotherapy and Existential Analysis contributed to this process, taking into account that the noetic dimension does not get sick, and the professional can through creative and experiential values develop skills not previously discovered.
