RESUMO
ABSTRACT Nicolaides-Baraitser Syndrome is a rare genetic condition that clinically presents with intellectual disabilities, facial and bone changes, and sparse hair. In Brazil, only one case has been previously reported without genetic confirmation. We present the case of an 8-year-old boy, clinically and genetically diagnosed with Nicolaides-Baraitser Syndrome, who developed autism spectrum disorder characteristics with a formal diagnosis at the age of eight. Diagnosing autism spectrum disorder in patients with intellectual disabilities is a clinical challenge requiring careful evaluation.
RESUMO
A Teoria do Apego (TA) descreve como os primeiros vínculos de um indivíduo podem moldar as expectativas futuras dele sobre si e sobre o mundo e descreve também formas com as quais a terapia pode remodelar essas expectativas. Apesar de possuir alguns pontos de divergência com ideias freudianas e kleinianas, essa teoria apresenta também muitas convergências com ideias de psicanalistas como Fairbairn e Winnicott. Assim, o objetivo deste artigo é discorrer sobre os preceitos básicos da TA, sobre suas semelhanças e diferenças com outras escolas da psicodinâmica e sobre suas implicações para a psicoterapia de orientação analítica. Nessa última parte, será apresentado um caso que ilustra conceitos dessa teoria.(AU)
Attachment Theory (AT) describes how an individual's first relationships can shape his/her future expectations about his/herself and about others and it also describes how these expectations can be remodeled through psychotherapy. Despite AT may differ from Freudian and Kleinian ideias, this theory also holds similarities with ideas from psychoanalysts as Fairbairn and Winnicott. Therefore, this study aims to discuss basic concepts about AT, similarities and differences regarding AT and other psychodynamic schools and its implications for psychodynamic psychotherapy. During this last part, a clinical case that illustrates AT concepts will be described.(AU)
