ABSTRACT
O presente estudo teve por objetivo investigar os dinamismos psicológicos possivelmente envolvidos na etiologia da renite alérgica perene. Assim sendo, 30 foram estudados através de entrevistas psicológicas e do teste das pirâmides coloridas de pfister. Os dados assim obtidos foram comparados com os da populaçäo de näo-riníticos, representada pela amostra utilizada por Robert Heiss para a padronizaçäo do teste da pirâmide de Pfister. O resultados de ambos os instrumentos de avaliaçäo revelaram que o grupo estudado apresenta dificuldades psíquicas intrínsecas, próprias de falhas no desenvolvimento afetivo-emocional, apontando mais para uma linha neurótica de estruturaçäo da personalidade

The objective of this investigation is to study the involvement of the psychological process in the etiology of perennial allergic rhinitis. Thirty patients with perennial allergic rhinitis, submitted to a Program of Hyposensibilization to Home Dust at the ENT Department, were selected. All patients were studied through psychological interviews and Pfister Colored Pyramid Test. Our results were compared to those obtained by Robert Heiss in his studies of standardization parameters (non rhinitic sample). The study revealed that our patients present intrinsic psychological difficulties characteristic of failures in the affective--emotional development and points out to a neurotic line of personality structuration.
