ABSTRACT
Este artigo pretende dar a conhecer os resultados duma intervenção cognitivo-comportamental num caso clínico de um jovem com problemas de violência doméstica. Apresenta sintomas depressivos que o prejudicam a nível pessoal, acadêmico e social. Para além disso, manifesta medo e ansiedade acerca de diversas situações de âmbito social em que é exposto à possível avaliação por parte dos outros e receio de que possa vir a comportarse de modo embaraçador. A avaliação psicológica permitiu diagnosticar uma perturbação depressiva e fobia social, tendo sido acionada a intervenção cognitivo-comportamental com base no modelo cognitivo para a depressão, de Beck, e no modelo cognitivo para a ansiedade social, de Clark e Wells. Os resultados da intervenção foram positivos, indicando a importância da terapia cognitivo-comportamental nesses tipos de perturbação.

The use of pesticides has rapidly increased in Japan since the end of World War II, significantly reducing work burdens and boosting food production. In the meantime, pesticides, responsible for poisoning and environmental pollution, have for many years posed grave issues that have had to be tackled by scientists of rural medicine for a long period. The Japanese Association of Rural Medicine, founded by the late Toshikazu Wakatsuki, has grappled with those issues for many years. Above all, the association has fulfilled its social obligations, such as by bringing the toxicity of organic mercury to light in animal tests to prompt the government to prohibit its use, and by casting light on birth defects caused by defoliants aerially sprayed during the Vietnam War to urge U.S. military forces to break off herbicide warfare. As it has become possible to make less toxic pesticides available for farm work in recent years, death-inducing accidents have seldom occurred during the spraying of pesticides, and the association’s activities are now at a low ebb. Now that pesticides, which after all are biologically toxic compounds, are openly used on farms, there is the need to pay constant attention to their impacts on the human body and the environment. In the future, it is necessary to epidemiologically probe into chronic impacts on the human body and contribute to the prevention of pesticide poisoning in Southeast Asia.
