Para além da nosologia, entre a técnica e a existência : contribuições do psicodiagnóstico colaborativo-interventivo

Abstract

The present work has as its object of study the psychodiagnosis, analyzed from two distinct perspectives in the field of mental health: the nosological and the existential-phenomenological. Its general objective is to investigate how it is possible to sustain a psychodiagnostic practice coherent with the assumptions of the existential-phenomenological approach, without disregarding the technical and instrumental contributions that have historically shaped the practice of psychological assessment. The philosophical foundations of Heideggerian ontology, together with the phenomenological attitude of description and suspension of presuppositions, are adopted as the theoretical framework to reflect on the limits and possibilities of psychological assessment as a comprehensive, collaborative, and interventional practice. Based on a critique of technical hegemony and the overvaluation of psychometric instruments, the work proposes a broadening of the perspective on psychodiagnosis, recognizing that tests provide important nomothetic data but do not exhaust the complexity of human existence. The work proposes that the integration between approaches is not only possible but necessary in the face of the complexity of the human being, and that collaborative-interventional psychodiagnosis represents a promising path for clinical practice based on phenomenology, as it transforms the diagnostic process into a space of listening, welcoming, and intervention.
