Contribución al estudio de la mente del terapeuta (Deseos y Pensamientos) relacionado con la Contratransferencia en el contexto de la Supervisión / Contributions to the studies of the therapist's mind (whishesand thoughts) related to the countertransference in the contextofsupervision

El presente trabajo se centra en un estudio preliminar en aras de aplicar el Algoritmo David Liberman (ADL) como instrumento en el campo de la supervisión en un texto, tomado como informe de un supervisante, que pretende tratar el problema relacionado con el cambio psíquico desde las intervenciones del analista y desde una dificultad que surge con el uso que hace el paciente de la intervención para atacar al análisis. Comienza con un estudio de un enactment contratransferencial relatado por el analista, y luego analiza la construcción teórica presentada por él, identificando que su elaboración conceptual aún era inducida por el influjo del discurso del paciente. El énfasis de la investigación propuesta es aplicar la taxonomía de las intervenciones junto a la perspectiva de los errores del pensamiento aportadas por Maldavsky (2017). Se propone articular la práctica clínica y la elaboración conceptual, tal como ocurre en la supervisión AU

The present work presents the possibility of applying the David Liberman Algorithm (ADL) as an instrument in the field of supervision, from a text taken as a report by a supervisor, which aims to address the problem related to psychic change from the analyst's interventions and of a difficulty that arises from the patient's use of the intervention to attackthe analysis. It begins with a study of a countertransferential enactmentreported by the analyst, and later analyzes the theoretical construction presented by him, identifying that his conceptual elaboration was still induced by the influx of the patient's speech. The emphasis of the investigation lies in developing a foundation regarding the link between clinical practice and conceptual elaboration, guided by the categories related to the taxonomy of interventions and origin, function and errors of thought presented by Maldavsky, as occurs in a supervisión AU

Digital Platform for Continuous Monitoring of Patients Using a Smartwatch: Longitudinal Prospective Cohort Study.

BACKGROUND: Since the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a boost in the digital transformation of the human society, where wearable devices such as a smartwatch can already measure vital signs in a continuous and naturalistic way; however, the security and privacy of personal data is a challenge to expanding the use of these data by health professionals in clinical follow-up for decision-making. Similar to the European General Data Protection Regulation, in Brazil, the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados established rules and guidelines for the processing of personal data, including those used for patient care, such as those captured by smartwatches. Thus, in any telemonitoring scenario, there is a need to comply with rules and regulations, making this issue a challenge to overcome. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to build a digital solution model for capturing data from wearable devices and making them available in a safe and agile manner for clinical and research use, following current laws. METHODS: A functional model was built following the Brazilian Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (2018), where data captured by smartwatches can be transmitted anonymously over the Internet of Things and be identified later within the hospital. A total of 80 volunteers were selected for a 24-week follow-up clinical trial divided into 2 groups, one group with a previous diagnosis of COVID-19 and a control group without a previous diagnosis of COVID-19, to measure the synchronization rate of the platform with the devices and the accuracy and precision of the smartwatch in out-of-hospital conditions to simulate remote monitoring at home. RESULTS: In a 35-week clinical trial, >11.2 million records were collected with no system downtime; 66% of continuous beats per minute were synchronized within 24 hours (79% within 2 days and 91% within a week). In the limit of agreement analysis, the mean differences in oxygen saturation, diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, and heart rate were -1.280% (SD 5.679%), -1.399 (SD 19.112) mm Hg, -1.536 (SD 24.244) mm Hg, and 0.566 (SD 3.114) beats per minute, respectively. Furthermore, there was no difference in the 2 study groups in terms of data analysis (neither using the smartwatch nor the gold-standard devices), but it is worth mentioning that all volunteers in the COVID-19 group were already cured of the infection and were highly functional in their daily work life. CONCLUSIONS: On the basis of the results obtained, considering the validation conditions of accuracy and precision and simulating an extrahospital use environment, the functional model built in this study is capable of capturing data from the smartwatch and anonymously providing it to health care services, where they can be treated according to the legislation and be used to support clinical decisions during remote monitoring.

Digital Platform to Continuously Monitor Patients Using a Smartwatch: Preliminary Report.

BACKGROUND: Monitoring vital signs such as oximetry, blood pressure, and heart rate is important to follow the evolution of patients. Smartwatches are a revolution in medicine allowing the collection of such data in a continuous and organic way. However, it is still a challenge to make this information available to health care professionals to make decisions during clinical follow-up. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to build a digital solution that displays vital sign data from smartwatches, collected remotely, continuously, reliably, and from multiple users, with trigger warnings when abnormal results are identified. METHODS: This is a single-center prospective study following the guidelines "Evaluating digital health products" from the UK Health Security Agency. A digital platform with 3 different applications was created to capture and display data from the mobile phones of volunteers with smartwatches. We selected 80 volunteers who were followed for 24 weeks each, and the synchronization interval between the smartwatch and digital solution was recorded for each vital sign collected. RESULTS: In 14 weeks of project progress, we managed to recruit 80 volunteers, with 68 already registered in the digital solution. More than 2.8 million records have already been collected, without system downtime. Less than 5% of continuous heart rate measurements (bpm) were synchronized within 2 hours. However, approximately 70% were synchronized in less than 24 hours, and 90% were synchronized in less than 119 hours. CONCLUSIONS: The digital solution is working properly in its role of displaying data collected from smartwatches. Vital sign values are being monitored by the research team as part of the monitoring of volunteers. Although the digital solution proved unsuitable for monitoring urgent events, it is more than suitable for use in outpatient clinical use. This digital solution, which is based on cloud technology, can be applied in the future for telemonitoring in regions lacking health care professionals. Accuracy and reliability studies still need to be performed at the end of the 24-week follow-up.

Response of the Human Milk Microbiota to A Maternal Prebiotic Intervention is Individual and Influenced by Maternal Age.

Maternal bacteria are shared with infants via breastfeeding. Prebiotics modulate the gut microbiota, promoting health benefits. We investigated whether the maternal diet supplementation with a prebiotic (fructooligosaccharides, FOS) could influence the milk microbiota. Twenty-eight lactating women received 4.5 g of fructooligosaccharides + 2 g of maltodextrin (FOS group) and twenty-five received 2 g of maltodextrin (placebo group) for 20 days. Breast-milk samples were taken before and after the intervention. The DNA from samples was used for 16S rRNA sequencing. No statistical differences between the groups were found for the bacterial genera after the intervention. However, the distances of the trajectories covered by paired samples from the beginning to the end of the supplementation were higher for the FOS group (p = 0.0007) indicating greater changes in milk microbiota compared to the control group. Linear regression models suggested that the maternal age influenced the response for FOS supplementation (p = 0.02). Interestingly, the pattern of changes to genus abundance upon supplementation was not shared between mothers. We demonstrated that manipulating the human milk microbiota through prebiotics is possible, and the maternal age can affect this response. .

Dislexia do desenvolvimento em abordagem comparada: scoping review de pesquisas produzidas no Brasil e na Austrália / Developmental dyslexia in a comparative approach: Scoping review of research produced in Brazil and Australia

O objetivo desta scoping review é apresentar propostas de intervenção voltadas à dislexia, praticadas no Brasil e na Austrália, buscando analisar possíveis diferenças e similaridades entre os dois países. O critério para inclusão dos trabalhos foi a pesquisa ter sido realizada com seres humanos; a população ter diagnóstico de dislexia; e o estudo apresentar uma abordagem de tratamento. Os resultados revelam que nas pesquisas do Brasil predominou a abordagem pautada na remediação fonológica, e, na Austrália, houve predomínio de estudos de caso. Observou-se, no entanto, que os dois países, apoiados na hipótese cognitivista da dislexia, privilegiaram aspectos de decodificação, relativizando dimensões mais amplas da linguagem escrita. Conclui-se, portanto, que existem mais semelhanças do que diferenças relacionadas aos aspectos de tratamento clínico.

The aim of this scoping review is to present dyslexia intervention proposals, practiced in Brazil and Australia, seeking to analyze possible differences and similarities between the two countries. The criterion for including the works was the research was carried out with human beings; the population is diagnosed with dyslexia; and the study presents a treatment approach. The results show that in the Brazilian studies the phonological remediation approach predominated, and in Australia, case studies predominated. It was observed, however, that the two countries, based on the cognitivist hypothesis of dyslexia, favored aspects of decoding, relativizing broader dimensions of written language. It is concluded, therefore, that there are more similarities than differences related to aspects of clinical treatment.

Feasibility and acceptability of a Mediterranean-style diet intervention to reduce cardiovascular risk for low income Hispanic American women.

OBJECTIVE: Evidence for the cardioprotective effects of a Mediterranean-style (Med-style) diet is strong, however few Med-style dietary interventions have been developed for and tested among Hispanic Americans (HAs), especially younger HAs of reproductive age whose dietary habits may strongly influence dietary intake for all family members. DESIGN: We adapted a previously tested and evidence-informed lifestyle intervention to reduce CVD risk and evaluated its feasibility, acceptability, and effects on self-reported lifestyle behaviors in this study enrolling low-income HA women attending a Title X family planning clinic in eastern North Carolina. The 3-month long intervention, given to all participants, promoted a Med-style dietary pattern with a focus on increasing consumption of foods commonly consumed by HA that have high quality dietary fats (polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats primarily from plant sources and fish) and carbohydrates (fruits, vegetables, and whole grains). The intervention also recommended increasing physical activity and was given during 2 face-to-face counseling sessions and 2 telephone counseling sessions. Major outcomes were engagement with study activities and intervention acceptability; lifestyle behavior change at 3-month follow-up is also reported. RESULTS: Baseline characteristics (n = 36) were: mean age 33 years, 35 (97%) without health insurance, 32 (89%) born in Mexico, and mean BMI 30 kg/m2. Engagement was high among the 36 participants with 33 (92%) completing the intervention and follow-up measures. At follow-up, most participants thought the intervention was helpful (range: 85-100%) and acceptable (100% agreed 'I would recommend the program to others'). The mean dietary fat quality score improved by 0.5 units (95% CI: 0.0-1.1) and the mean fruit-vegetable servings/day improved by 0.7/day (95% CI: 0.1-1.3). CONCLUSION: Intervention engagement and acceptability were high and there was improvement in self-reported dietary behaviors. This type of Med-style dietary pattern intervention should be evaluated in randomized trials enrolling HAs at risk for CVD.

Community versus clinical cognitive-behavioral intervention in young-adult Spanish population with generalized social phobia / Intervención cognitivo-conductual comunitaria versus intervención clínica en jóvenes adultos españoles con fobia social generalizada

Ei objetivo del estudio es mejorar los resultados informados por las revisiones sobre el tratamiento de adultos con Fobia social generalizada. La muestra la integraron 91 participantes con Fobia social generalizada (EM: 19.90 años; DT: 1.05) asignados aleatoriamente a tres condiciones experimentales, evaluados antes y después del tratamiento, y a los 6, 12, y 24 meses en los grupos tratados. Los resultados muestran (a) la efectividad de la detección en el contexto comunitario versus la intervención clínica, en el corto y medio plazo, y (b) una mejora significativa de los efectos del tratamiento, frente a los de las revisiones de las intervenciones clínicas ad hoc, tanto en los abandonos como en las tasas de recuperación. Ello permite concluir que esta modalidad de aplicación del tratamiento cognitivo-conductual puede ser una estrategia complementaria a la convencional con la que mejorar los resultados actuales de la intervención psicológica en este trastorno.

The study investigates how to improve the results reported by the reviews on the effects of clinical interventions in adults with Generalized social phobia. The sample was composed of 91 participants (median age = 19.90 years, SD = 1.05) randomly assigned to three experimental conditions. The evaluations were conducted before and after treatment in all three groups and at 6-, 12-, and 24-month follow-up for the treatment groups. The results show (a) the effectiveness of the cognitive-behavioral strategy of detection and intervention, in a community context, versus clinical intervention both for the short and medium term; and (b) a significant improvement over the percentages of dropouts and of rates of complete recovery from the disorder. These findings allow us to conclude that the cognitive-behavioral strategy of detection and intervention, in a community context is shown to be a complementary intervention to the conventional and with high efficiency ratios.

Investigación empírica con el algoritmo David Liberman de la contratransferencia no declarada: método y aplicaciones / Empirical research on the unreported counter transference, with the David Liberman algorithm: method and applications

Objetivo: exponer un método y su ejemplificación para estudiar la perturbación contratransferencial duradera y no declarada. Operacionalización del concepto: falla clínica combinada con deseos y defensas perturbadores en el terapeuta. Instrumentos: algoritmo David Liberman. Procedimientos: 1) para la detección de las fallas clínicas en las intervenciones del terapeuta y 2) para la detección de sus deseos y defensas. Ejemplificación:10 casos. Discusión: 1) Se dan diferentes tipos de enactment contratransferenciales, en que el terapeuta se ubica en el lugar del paciente o en el de un personaje de su vida psíquica, o se defiende de ubicarse en dicha posición. 2) En estos enactments es posible investigar los deseos y las defensas del terapeuta, a lo cual se suman identificaciones con el paciente o un personaje de su mundo psíquico e inclusive introyecciones de sus estados somáticos. 3) Las fallas clínicas derivan a veces de las perturbaciones contratransferenciales del terapeuta, pero también pueden ser consecuencia de una limitación en la formación, que se combina con las perturbaciones antedichas. 4) El aporte metodológico consistió sobre todo en el desarrollo y la aplicación de los procedimientos de empleo del ADL. Los mismos procedimientos pueden aplicarse en el estudio de la contratransferencia entendida en sentido amplio.

Objective: to present a method with exemplification to study the lasting and unreported countertransferential perturbation. Operationalization of the concept: clinical inaccuracy combined with wishes and pathological defenses in the therapist. Instruments: David Liberman algorithm. Procedures: 1) for the detection of clinical inaccuracies in the therapist's interventions and 2) for the detection of his wishes and defenses. Exemplification: 10 cases. Discussion: 1) Different types of countertransferential encatments in which the therapist positions himself in the place of the patient or of a character in his psychic world, or defends himself from being in that position. 2) In these enactments it's posible to investigate the therapist's wishes and defenses to which are added identifications with the patient or with a character existing in his psychic world, and even introjections of the patient's somatic states. 3) Clinical inaccuracies are sometimes derived from the therapist's countertransferential perturbations, but may also be caused by training limitations combined with the mentioned perturbations. 4) The methodological contribution consisted mostly in the development and application of procedures for the use of the DLA. The same procedures can be applied to the study of countertransference in the broad sense of the term.

Higiene e saúde mental: o cuidado com o corpo na intervenção clínica de um CAPSI / Higiene y salud mental: el cuidado con el cuerpo en la intervención clínica de un CAPSI / Hygiene and mental health: body care in the clinical intervention in a CAPSI

Objective: report the experience of personal hygiene as an aspect of the clinical intervention in a Psychosocial Care Center for Children and Adolescents (CAPSi) in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Method: this is a descriptive study, with an experience report design, organized into two moments: at the first, a workshop with guardians was created, consisting of psychologists, nursing teams, pharmacists, physicians, and dental team (the latter two as guests from the primary health center); at the second, problems/limitations were identified, as well as the need for creating strategies that could keep the participation of guardians in the workshops. Results: low adherence of parents was found, leading us to think of other actions more effective. Conclusion: it is hoped that this study can provide significant reflections on strategies for mental health in primary care and contribute to the practice in a CAPSi.

Para uma clínica do uso de álcool e drogas com adolescentes das comunidades do Rio de Janeiro

Analisando circunstâncias e elementos clínicos paradigmáticos, constata-se que as trajetórias de jovens das comunidades populares no que se refere a problemas com a Lei por uso e tráfico de drogas são, na verdade, típicas, isto é: indicam, sob eventos meramente singulares, uma produção intensa e institucionalizada desses jovens enquanto "foras da lei". Omitir esta dimensão do problema pode tornar a pesquisa científica aliada de estruturas que produzem delinquência. No entanto, uma prática derivada da clínica psicanalítica e amparada por uma reflexão sobre a institucionalidade questiona como a relação que esses adolescentes constroem com sua própria palavra nas instâncias de tratamento pode deslocar esses mecanismos institucionais(AU)

For a clinic of drug and alcohol abuse with adolescents from popular communities in Rio de Janeiro. Parting from clinical circumstances and paradigmatic elements, the paper argues that many of the trajectories of youngsters from popular communities facing problems with the law regarding the use and trafficking of drugs are, indeed, typical. They indicate, under mere singular events, an important and institutionalized production of these young people as outlaws. Overlooking this dimension of the problem may compromise scientific research with structures that produce delinquency. Whereas a practice oriented towards psychoanalytic clinic, informed by some reflection on the institutional framework, questions how the relation these adolescents develop, to their own word, in treatment, can change these institutional mechanisms(AU)

O uso da psicoeducação no tratamento do transtorno bipolar / Use of psychoeducation in the treatment of bipolar disorder

O transtorno bipolar apresenta usualmente relevante cronicidade e severidade de sintomas, causando prejuízos psicossociais. O tratamento farmacológico é considerado indispensável para pacientes bipolares. Contudo, na esfera psicossocial, uma associação entre estressores e a precipitação de episódios bipolares tem sido claramente documentada, salientando a necessidade de intervenções nesta esfera. A psicoeducação consiste em uma modalidade de intervenção psicossocial. O presente estudo visou investigar na literatura científica os resultados obtidos através do uso da psicoeducação no tratamento do transtorno bipolar. A psicoeducação se apresenta como um modelo eficaz para adesão ao tratamento psicofarmacológico, melhor compreensão e entendimento do transtorno, redução do número de episódios maníacos, menor número de recaídas e internações, aumento do funcionamento social bem como para um melhor manejo de situações de crise e sentimentos de culpa. Da mesma forma, a psicoeducação se apresenta como uma alternativa importante para familiares de pacientes com transtorno bipolar. Conclui-se que a psicoeducação, embora não substitua o tratamento medicamentoso, tem se mostrada efetiva na otimização significativa dos efeitos dos tratamentos farmacológicos e de seus resultados além de apresentar características preventivas para recaídas e para saúde mental dos familiares.

Bipolar disorder shows significant chronicity and severity of symptoms usually causing psychosocial damage. Pharmacological treatment is considered essential for bipolar patients. However, in the psychosocial field, an association between stressors and precipitation of bipolar episodes has been clearly documented, highlighting the need for intervention in this field. As for psychoeducation, this consists of a psychosocial intervention model. The present study aimed to investigate scientific literature in respect of the outcomes of psychoeducation as a part of the treatment for bipolar disorder. Psychoeducation is seen to be a successful model in the adherence to psychopharmacological treatment, in the greater awareness and understanding of this disorder, by decreasing the number of maniac episodes as well the number of relapses and hospitalizations, improving coping and social skills. In the same way, psychoeducation offers an important alternative for the relatives of bipolar patients. It may be concluded that psychoeducation is not a substitute for pharmacological treatment, but, it has been effective in a significant optimization of the effects of pharmacological treatment.
