Este trabalho é um estudo de caso sobre mutismo seletivo, certamente uma das
problemáticas mais invulgares, desconcertantes e desafiadoras da medicina e da educação.
Envolve crianças em idade escolar e a realidade mostra-nos quão diversa e única é a
vivência desta síndrome, o que dificulta não só o diagnóstico mas também a definição de
estratégias de tratamento.
O desafio e objetivo central do estudo consiste em verificar em que medida a
arteterapia constitui uma resposta adequada para os problemas de mutismo seletivo. A
revisão da literatura dirige-se para este objetivo e abrange especialmente estes dois
campos: mutismo seletivo e arteterapia.
Refletindo sobre uma breve visão histórica da arteterapia, procuramos entender qual
foi e poderá ser o papel da arteterapia na criança com mutismo seletivo, perceber de que
forma pode a arteterapia ajudar a criança que se confronta com este problema.
A arteterapia, sendo um processo terapêutico, utiliza técnicas de expressão e criação
artística com a intenção de atenuar o sofrimento e recuperar o indivíduo. Naturalmente será
uma mais-valia, um excelente recurso nas escolas, no combate à inadaptação ao meio, aos
comportamentos desviantes, ao insucesso e abandono escolar, no entanto é necessário
romper com mentalidades retrógradas para poder evoluir e proporcionar bem-estar. É
imprescindível uma mudança de atitudes.
Neste estudo, adotámos uma metodologia de investigação qualitativa com base na
observação direta de sessões de arteterapia e nas entrevistas à professora titular de turma e
aos pais da criança em dois momentos diferentes. Para a realização deste trabalho optámos
pelo estudo de um caso único, de uma criança com diagnóstico de mutismo seletivo, a
frequentar uma Escola Básica de 1º Ciclo.
Os resultados demonstram, em linhas gerais, que a arteterapia desempenha de facto
um papel preponderante, ativo e facilitador na possibilidade de transformação e
desenvolvimento pessoal num caso específico de uma família com uma criança com
mutismo seletivo. As sessões de arteterapia foram benéficas para a aluna, como forma de
atenuar o sofrimento e proporcionar bem- estar.
This work is a study case about selective mutism, certainly one of the most unusual, disconcerting and defying problematic of medicine and education. It involves children in scholar age and the reality shows us how diverse and unique is this syndrome experience, which makes difficult not only the diagnosis but also the definition of treatment strategies. The challenge and central objective of the study consists in verify the extent to which art therapy constitutes an appropriate answer for the problems of the selective mutism. The literature revision addresses this objective and covers specially these two fields: selective mutism and art therapy. Reflecting about a brief historical vision of art therapy, we aim to understand which was and may be the role of art therapy in the child with selective mutism, understand how art therapy may help the child that faces this problem. Art therapy, as a therapeutically process, uses expression techniques and artistic creation intending to lessen the suffering and recover the individual. Naturally, it will be an asset, an excellent resource in schools, to fight the environment inadaptation, the deviant behaviours, failure and scholar abandonment, however it’s necessary to break up retrograde mentalities to be able to evolve and provide well-being, it is essential a change in attitudes. In this study we adopted a qualitative investigation methodology based in direct observation of art therapy sessions and in the interviews to the titular teacher of the class and to the parents of the child in two different moments. For this work we have chosen the study of a unique case of a child with a selective mutism diagnosis, attending the 1st Cycle of a Basic School. The results show, in general lines, that art therapy performs, in fact, a preponderant, active and facilitator role in the transformation possibility and personal development in a specific case of a family with a child with selective mutism. The art therapy sessions were beneficial for the student as a way to attenuate the suffering and provide well-being.
