La presente investigación estudia la efectividad de talleres basados en Psicología Positiva en adultos mayores, mediante el análisis de las variaciones pre-post del niveles de Satisfacción Vital y Sintomatología Depresiva. Se conformó tres grupos: el primero, un grupo cuasi experimental, basado en Psicología Positiva; el segundo, un grupo cuasi control activo, basado en actividades recreativas; y el tercero, un grupo cuasi control inactivo, sin intervención. Se utilizó la Escala de Depresión Geriátrica de Yesavage y Escala de Satisfacción Vital de Diener. Los resultados indican que sólo el grupo con taller basado en Psicología Positiva disminuye significativamente su Sintomatología Depresiva y aumenta significativamente sus niveles de Satisfacción Vital, luego de la intervención. Estos resultados se discuten a la luz de las investigaciones actuales en Psicología Positiva.<br>This research examines the effectiveness of workshops based on positive psychology for the elderly by analyzing pre-post changes in levels of life satisfaction and depressive symptomatology. Three groups were formed: the first, a quasi-experimental group based on positive psychology; the second, a quasi-active control group based on recreational activities; and the third, a quasi-inactive control group without intervention. The instruments used were: Yesavage Geriatric Depression Scale and Life Satisfaction Scale of Diener. Results indicated that only the group that attended positive psychology-based workshops significantly decreased depressive symptoms and significantly increased their levels of life satisfaction after the intervention. These results are discussed in the light of current researches in positive psychology.Date

A obra poética de Pablo Neruda: um estudo psicanalítico The Pablo Neruda&#8217;s poetic work: a psychoanalytical studyIsmael Pereira de Siqueira; Rodrigo Otávio Fonseca; Sandra Maria da Silva Sales Oliveira (Universidade de São Francisco, Programa de Pós-Graduação Stricto Sensu em Psicologia, 2002-12-01)Neste trabalho realizou-se uma leitura da obra poética de Pablo Neruda, conforme os pressupostos teóricos de Freud e Lacan. A preocupação inicial foi a de elaborar um esquema teórico que fornecesse subsídios ao estudo. Num segundo momento foi realizada uma leitura das principais obras que marcam os três períodos literários de Pablo Neruda, tentando-se interpretar psicanaliticamente a rede simbólica encontrada nessas obras. Com base nas análises realizadas, pôde-se observar que a poesia de Pablo Neruda parece possuir um papel de figura objetal, possibilitando ao autor religar-se às suas figuras parentais, nas quais projeta os seus desejos e frustrações.<br>In this work a reading of Pablo Neruda&#8217;s poetic work was done, according to a Freud&#8217;s and Lacan&#8217;s theoretical presuppositions. The first concern was to elaborate a theoretical schema to supply subsidies to this study. After, a reading of the most important works of Pablo Neruda&#8217;s three literary periods was done, trying to interpret psychoanalytically the symbolic net of these works. Based on the these analysis, it was observed that Pablo Neruda&#8217;s poetry seems to have an object figure role, causing the author to link again to his parents figures on whom he projects his desires and frustrations.

&lt;img src="http://openjournals.net/files/pics/CEU.gif"/&gt; Exploring the development of an organisational culture of control and dependency from a systems psychodynamic perspectiveRené van Eeden (OSIS OpenJournals, 2010-03-01)&lt;strong&gt;Orientation: &lt;/strong&gt;Globalisation and accelerating rates of change characterise the work environment.&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Research purpose:&lt;/strong&gt; The aim of this research was to study the impact of the change process at a plant of a South African production company.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Motivations for the study: &lt;/strong&gt;Problems were experienced in terms of production and a need for transformation at different levels was expressed. Co-dependence in the environment necessitated exploration of intra-organisational dynamics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Research design, approach and method:&lt;/strong&gt; The study focused on the management team at a specifc plant, but by applying the systems psychodynamic perspective it was possible to also explore the mutual effect of relationships with other systems in the organisation, the company as a whole and the environment. Respondents included the directors of manufacturing and of human resources, the general manager, an 11-member management team and staff representatives. Semi-structured one-to-one interviews, group interviews and a group consultation session were held.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Main findings:&lt;/strong&gt; Hypotheses were formulated regarding the change experienced in the company, the overemphasis of control in the various systems, efforts to move from dependency to interdependence, personal authority as a requirement for interdependent functioning and problems with interrelatedness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Practical/managerial implications:&lt;/strong&gt; The study illustrates the application of the systems psychodynamic approach in exploring the interaction between and mutual infuence of various organisational systems, especially in times of change.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Contribution/value add:&lt;/strong&gt; At a broader level, the study contributes to the understanding of the application of the theory as well as suggesting the use of a methodology. Recommendations for an intervention of this nature were also made.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;strong&gt;How to cite this article:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Van Eeden,R.(2010).
