A linguagem cinematográfica como estratégia grupal de intervenção no luto por morte violenta

Abstract

Violent deaths due to disasters, accidents, suicide or homicide, in increasing

numbers in Brazil and in the world, raise important questions for research in

Psychology, especially with a focus on mourning. The violence, the unexpected,

the quality of the support after death have a great weight in the process of

mourning, and can collaborate for the installation of a complicated mourning. This

research - quantitative and qualitative - aims to Analyze the results of the use of

cinematographic language as a group psychotherapeutic strategy of intervention

in grief for violent death (caused by external factors). Participants were invited

through the internet and disseminated as snowball. An individual interview was

conducted and applied the Hogan Grief Reaction Checklist (HGRC). After ten

group sessions, with weekly frequency and two hours each, using the resource

of specifically selected films, in the last meeting was reapplied the HGRC. The

comparative Analysis between the two applications of the HGRC showed a

significant improvement in the experience of mourning of the participants. The

results of the research indicated that using cinematographic language as a

resource for psychotherapeutic intervention brought positive results to

participants
