Levantamento das técnicas psicoterápicas na reabilitação do toxicômano

Abstract

This study points out the different psychotherapeutic modalities in various theoretical frameworks used in the treatment of addicts. This is a literature review, in order to conduct the survey of the psychotherapeutic techniques in rehabilitating the addict. A selection of articles was made through research in the database: BIREME, LILACS, SCIELO and Google Scholar, merely indexed articles published in English from 2000 to 2010. We found eight items, indicating that the psychotherapeutic techniques do not provide descriptions or systematic evaluation of the methodologies used. We conclude that the techniques need to be better described and these are applied by a professional health care in using this feature enabled as well, note the necessity of creating instruments for the monitoring of psychotherapeutic technique, so that the results are validated.
