ABSTRACT

A large body of evidence highlights the social cognitive impairment in neurodegenerative diseases such Alzheimer disease (AD). This study investigated the relationship among social and emotional functioning (SEF), awareness of disease, and other clinical aspects in people with AD (PwAD). A consecutive series of 50 people with mild to moderate AD and their 50 family caregivers were assessed. There was a significant difference between self-rated SEF and informant-rated SEF. In 56% of PwAD, self-rated SEF is lower than informant-rated SEF. People with AD mostly presented with mildly impaired awareness of the disease (56%), 20% had moderately impaired awareness of the disease, and 6% were unaware of the disease. The multivariate linear regression showed that informant-rated SEF was related to the social functioning, and relationships, domains of awareness of disease, and the PwAD informant-rated quality of life. The relationship between SEF and awareness of social functioning and relationship domain shows that they are comprised of judgments related to perceptions about oneself, values, and beliefs qualitatively different from awareness of memory or functionality, which can be directly observed.

ABSTRACT

Após o surgimento de uma nova cultura de cuidados, a psicoterapia vem tornando-se parte do tratamento das demências. A clínica impöem algumas alteraçöes na técnica, tais como a frequência das sessöes, o uso de outros recursos expressivos, o trabalho direcionado aos efetos contidos nas lembranças. A sensaçäo de continuidade fornecida pelo ambiente tornam o analista quase que como uma garantia de permanência, uma prótese do Eu do paciente. Alguns argumentos contra o uso de psicoterapia na demência residem na impossibilidade do resgate da imagem do paciente, exatamente como era antes da doença. Em virtude do pouco reconhecimento da necessidade do uso das abordagens psicoterápicas e da dificuldade de avaliaçäo dos resultados, uma metodologia formal ainda é rara, assim como o acesso à bibliografia sobre o assunto. Este é um campo onde as pesquisas estäo apenas iniciando
