PAULO, Maria Salete Lopes Legname de. Interventive psychodiagnosis in adults depressive patients. Bol. psicol [online]. 2006, vol.56, n.125, pp.153-170. ISSN 0006-5943.
This article presents a reflection about contemporary changes in Psychodiagnosis, proposing the possibility of intervention from the beginning of the process. The study defines the Intervening Psychodiagnosis and proposes a model of care to adults suffering from depression in brief psychotherapy. The projective techniques were used as therapeutic mediators of the intervening process, as well as diagnostic tools. The possibilities of intervention through the projective tests are presented and illustrated with a clinical case.
