Resumo
O abuso sexual de menores tem vindo a ser alvo de interesse científico nos últimos anos. Com o desenvolver literário tem havido uma extensão do estudo deste fenómeno para tratar o agressor, de forma a evitar recidivas. De diversas motivações que são apontadas como percussoras destes comportamentos sexuais disfuncionais, tem vindo a ser debatido o papel da influência dos esquemas precoces mal adaptativos (EPM’s) para a consumação destes atos.
Durante o período de reclusão há uma terapêutica específica para estes indivíduos, no entanto é sabido que a adaptação emocional ao meio prisional tem tendência para influenciar a forma como estes indivíduos participam no tratamento. Posto isto, este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o impacto dos EPM’s no ajustamento emocional à prisão numa amostra de abusadores sexuais de menores condenados (N=43) com idades compreendidas entre os 22 e os 58 anos.
Obteve-se como resultado uma identificação das estruturas esquemáticas associadas a esta adaptação emocional que pode oferecer uma base conceptual, auxiliando nas estratégias de gestão da saúde mental implementadas em contexto prisional, sendo maioritariamente associados os esquemas de Abandono e Desconfiança do domínio Distanciamento e Rejeição. Adicionalmente verificou-se que todos os domínios têm esquemas que se associam a esta gestão emocional.
In recent years, child sexual abuse has become a subject of scientific interest. With the literary development, there has been an extension of the study of this phenomenon in order to treat the aggressor and avoid recurrence. Several motivations were identified has precursors of these dysfunctional sexual behaviors, including the influence of early maladaptive schemas (EMS’s) as vulnerability factor for child sexual abuse. During the confinement period, there’s a specific therapy for these individuals, however it’s known that the emotional adaptation to the prison environment tend to influence how these individuals participate in the treatment. For this reason, this study aimed to assess the impact of EMS’s in the emotional adjustment to imprisonment in a sample of convicted child sex offenders (N = 43) aged between 22 and 58 years. Findings showed that a set of EMS’s were associated with this emotional adaptation, such schemas can provide a conceptual base aimed at assisting mental health management strategies implemented in imprisonment context. These schemas were largely associated with the Abandonment and Mistrust themes. Additionally, it was found that all schematic domains included schemas relating to the offender’s emotional management.
