Resumo(s)
A presente investigação visa caracterizar o potencial terapêutico da ayahuasca em indivíduos que estão a atravessar um processo de luto, e que se submetem à experiência num retiro no Perú. O estudo contou com cinco participantes, do sexo feminino, de diversas nacionalidades, que se deslocaram ao Temple of the Way of Light na tentativa de integrar uma experiência de luto, motivada pela morte de um ente querido. Esta investigação segue uma metodologia qualitativa, na medida em que se pretende caracterizar as experiências sob a perspetiva de cada participante. Desta forma, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas em profundidade, procedendo-se a uma análise temática semi-indutiva dos dados obtidos, recorrendo ao NVIVO ® 11.
Os resultados obtidos permitiram identificar processos psicológicos que ocorrem durante a experiência, sob o efeito da ayahuasca, e durante a fase de integração da experiência, que, segundo as participantes, demonstram ser relevantes para a diminuição da sintomatologia associada ao seu processo de luto, principalmente, a libertação de emoções (Emotional Release), a Autoconsciência, e a Aceitação, processos estes também suportados pela literatura que se tem debruçado sobre a intervenção psicológica no luto. São, igualmente, apresentadas, as implicações dos resultados alcançados, bem como, as limitações do estudo e sugestões para futuras investigações.
The present study aims to characterize the therapeutic potential of ayahuasca in individuals who are undergoing a process of mourning, and who undergo a retreat in Peru. The study had five female participants of different nationalities who traveled to Temple of the Way of Light in an attempt to integrate an experience of mourning, motivated by the death of a loved one. This research follows a qualitative methodology, in that it is intended to characterize the experiences from the perspective of each participant. In this way, semi-structured interviews were carried out in depth, and the semi-inductive thematic analysis of the data obtained was performed using NVIVO ® 11. The results obtained allowed to identify psychological processes that occur during the experience, under the effect of ayahuasca, and during the integration phase of the experience, which, according to the participants, prove to be relevant for the reduction of the symptoms associated with their grieving process, mainly Emotional Release, Self-Awareness, and Acceptance, which are also supported by the literature that has focused on psychological intervention in mourning. Also presented are the implications of the results achieved, as well as the limitations of the study and suggestions for future investigations.
