SILVEIRA, Marília Souza da  and  GOMES, Cristiano Mauro Assis. Experiential development assessment of patients with prosthetic eye: focusing technique on psychotherapy. Psicol. clin. [online]. 2014, vol.26, n.1, pp. 181-196. ISSN 0103-5665.

The present study aimed to verify the effectiveness of the focusing therapy applied in brief intervention with patients in context of ocular prosthesis. The design of case-control study included a convenience sample with 10 participants for the experimental group and eight participants for the control group. The data was collected by the Experiential Ability Test (EAT) on the pre-test and pos-test. The experimental group experienced four psychotherapy sessions guided by the focusing technique. The effect size of the difference in average growth in the experimental group and control group was small-moderate (d = 0.38, p = 0.44). Implications for the practice of clinical psychology are discussed.

Keywords : focusing; ocular prosthesis; Experiential Ability Test (EAT).
