BONFIM, TâniaElena. Psychological Assessment and Mental Health: Clinical applications of psychology in indigenous communities. Psicol inf. [online]. 2011, vol.15, n.15, pp.155-168. ISSN 1415-8809.

And the available tools are adequate for understanding this application? This discussion draws upon the psychoanalytic concept of the psychological field, which emerges from the doctor-patient relationships and that has proven useful in the conduct of individual psychotherapeutic interventions, and the proposal of brief psychotherapy psychoanalytic.
