Abstract

TESSARO, Luiz Gustavo Santos  and  VEIGALIMA, Ana Maria. ADHD in the field of social welfare: possibilities for an extended clinic. Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2020, vol.26, n.spe, pp. 438-448. ISSN 1809-6867.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18065/2020v26ne.8.

This theoretical article aimed to constitute a review of the gestalt literature about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) produced in Brazil and to discuss practical possibilities of intervention based on Gestalt therapy. These proposals were designed in the context of a social welfare service that welcomes children and adolescents, with or without the diagnosis of ADHD. Thus, was necessary to articulate with the concept of extended clinic, supported by the field concept of Kurt Lewin. Was considered the contributions of Luciana Aguiar and Violet Oaklander, two important authors of gestalt psychotherapy with children, in Brasil and in the world, respectively. Among the results, there was the need for interventions at the institutional level (such as working within the institution's introjects and offering greater supervision and monitoring to these children) and individual (performing motor sensory activities aimed at the development of the protagonism through the possibility of to choose).

Keywords : Gestalt Therapy; Clinical Psychology; Social Psychology.
