ФИНАНСОВАЯ ПОЛИТИКА СТРАН ЕВРОПЕЙСКОГО СОЮЗА НА ПОСТСОВЕТСКОМ ПРОСТРАНСТВЕ В НАЧАЛЕ XXI В.: ОПЫТ И ПЕРСПЕКТИВЫ

The paper deals with the formation of a modern style of financial relations between the European Union and post-Soviet states. The author explores the objectives and features of the implementation of two main components of the European financial policy in the post-Soviet space: investment in the development and commercial activities of private capital. The EU financial policy in the post-Soviet states advances in the context of pan-European humanitarian, geopolitical and energy concepts established at the beginning of the 21st century. Despite certain differences that exist in the approaches of the European Union to dialogue with groups of countries within the frameworks of the Eastern Partnership and the EU Strategy for Central Asia, a common line is seen here on investments in promoting the education, European values, legal standards of banking. At the same time, in relations between Europe and the post-Soviet countries there is a tendency towards the adoption of the principles of financial pragmatism and a desire for long-term investment ties. The expanding role of the European banks and investment companies in economic life in the post-Soviet space is in direct connection with the realization of the modernization potential in post-Soviet states.

The family environment as an external factor of development of creativity

The article is devoted to the theoretical analysis of the family education factors that influence the development of children's creative abilities and the empirical study of the styles of parent relationship in the families of children with different levels of creativity. The relevance of the study of the family environment problem as an external factor of development of children's creativity is substantiated. Researchers of creativity give a decisive role to the microenvironment in which the child is formed, and, primarily, to the influence of family relationships. Currently, consideration of the children's creativity development in the family is the least studied branch of psychology of abilities and the most actual problem of family education. The factors of family education, which influence the development of the child’s creative abilities are highlighted: the position of parents concerning the child’s development and the ways of influencing it; the family’s attitude to the development of the child’s abilities; the style of parent-child relationships; the style of child control and guidance; the family composition and relationships within it. The significance of connection between the styles of family education and the level of creativity development of elementary school children is empirically determined. The characteristic features of relationships between parents and children in each of the studied groups are distinguished: in the families where the children show the high level of creativity development, the type of parent-child relationships “cooperation” is typical; the most typical style of parent-child relationships in the families whose children show the low level of creativity development are «rejection» and «authoritarian hypersocialization».

Amaç: Araştırmanın amacı, cerrahi girişim sürecinde yer alan sağlık profesyonellerinin kişilerarası ilişki tarzları ve ekip çalışmasına yönelik tutumlarının değerlendirilmesidir.Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırma tanımlayıcı tiptedir. Örnekleme gönüllü 126 cerrahi ekip üyesi alındı. Veriler “Kişisel Bilgi Formu”, “Kişilerarası İletişim Tarzları Ölçeği (KİTÖ)” ve “Ekip Çalışması Tutumları Ölçeği (EÇTÖ)” ile toplandı. Bulgular: Çalışmada EÇTÖ’den en düşük puanı hemşirelerin, EÇTÖ ve KİTÖ’den en yüksek puanı ise diğer sağlık profesyonellerinin aldığı saptandı. Yine EÇTÖ’nün iletişim alt boyutundan en düşük puanı alan hekimlerdi. Diğer sağlık profesyonellerinin, KİTÖ’nün kaçıngan tarz alt boyutundan aldıkları puan ortalamasının hemşirelere göre anlamlı derecede yüksek, EÇTÖ’nün iletişim alt boyutundan aldıkları puan ortalamalarının hemşire ve hekimlere göre anlamlı derecede yüksek olduğu belirlendi. Çalışmada 21 yıl ve üzeri çalışan cerrahi ekip üyelerinin KİTÖ’nün baskın tarz alt boyutundan aldıkları puan ortalamasının daha az süre çalışan ekip üyelerine göre anlamlı derecede yüksek olduğu bulundu. Sonuç: Bu doğrultuda cerrahi ekip üyelerine yönelik kişilerarası iletişim becerilerini ve ekip çalışması tutumlarını geliştirmeye yönelik eğitimlerin planlanması, var olan sorunların saptanması, giderilmesine yönelik bireysel ve kurumsal girişimlerin yapılması önerilmektedir.

Емоційна обізнаність суб’єктів аудіальної медіакультури при різних стилях міжособистісної взаємодії

Проаналізовано зв’язок між стилями міжособистісної взаємодії учнів, студентів та інших суб’єктів у реальному житті, їхньою емоційною обізнаністю та аудіальною медіакультурою. Виявлено особливості зв’язку аудіальної медіакультури з емоційною обізнаністю та міжособистісною взаємодією суб’єктів в аудіальному просторі. Представлено результати емпіричного дослідження емоційної обізнаності суб’єктів, що мають різні стилі міжособистісної взаємодії в медіапросторі. Вибірка, що складалася із 140 осіб віком від 14 до 23 років, досліджувалася за допомогою комплексу методик: опитувальника емоційної обізнаності (К. Штейнер), тесту на визначення стилів міжособистісної взаємодії (С. Максимов, Ю. Лобейко), авторської анкети “Музичні уподобання”. Результати дослідження підтвердили наявність взаємозв’язку між рівнями емоційної обізнаності субА’єктів і їхніми стилями міжособистісної взаємодії. При цьому статистично значущих зв’язків між стилями міжособистісної взаємодії і музичними уподобаннями не виявлено. Водночас простежено статистично значущі зв’язки між рівнями емоційної обізнаності і критеріями аудіальної культури. Висунуто припущення, що суб’єкти з високим рівнем емоційної обізнаності вдаються до директивного стилю спілкування навмисно, з певною метою, а суб’єкти, що мають низький рівень емоційної обізнаності, – здебільшого несвідомо, щоб полегшити спілкування. Люди, що віддають перевагу стилю невтручання, здатні вибудовувати продуктивні стосунки в житті й на роботі, але часто не враховують потреби людей, які їх оточують. Для розвитку колегіального стилю взаємодії людина має не лише аналізувати свої емоції, а й співчувати іншим, розрізняти їхні емоції. У випадку ділового стилю спілкування увага до власних емоцій сприймається в нашому соціумі як слабкість, неможливість підтримувати власне ділові стосунки, які передбачають передусім стриманість; це призводить до того, що емоції “заганяються” на тілесний рівень. Тож для підтримання цього стилю взаємодії дуже важливо розуміти, що відчуває партнер по спілкуванню. Зроблено припущення, що, підвищуючи рівень аудіальної медіакультури особистості, можна таким чином опосередковано формувати стиль міжособистісної взаємодії.

Donald Trump’s Political and Psychological Profile

The article presents the summary of the political psychology scientific research, fully corresponding to the academic traditions of the Department of Sociology and Psychology of Politics of Moscow State University. The study was devoted to a political and psychological analysis of the personality traits of populist-type politicians. The objectives of this study included psychological diagnosis and assessment of the personality of US President Donald Trump. A number of general scientific principles were used, including the principle of complexity, systematicity, subjectivity, integrability, reflexivity and optimality. The identification of basic psychological characteristics and the analysis of the most pronounced personality traits of Donald Trump were carried out using a methodology that combines wide research capabilities of of political science, psychology and sociology. The specificity of the research predefined using distant methods of data collection and processing, due to the inaccessibility of the studied personality. The biography method, content analysis and observation method were chosen as guiding. Scientific research concluded with forming a political and psychological profile of the American leader’s personality. According to the typology proposed by R. Ziller, he belongs to the category of “apolitical politician”, which indicates an overestimated self-esteem, nonconformism, and no dependence on the opinions of those around him. In addition, according to the L. Etheredge’s typology of styles of interpersonal relationships, Donald Trump is an extrovert with a high level of dominance. The political behavior of the President of the United States corresponds to the type of “agitator” in accordance with the typologies of G. Lasswell.

Suicide attempts among French and Brazilian adolescents. A comparative study of clinical, cultural and environmental factors

Introduction In Brazil, epidemiological data have shown an increase in suicide rates among adolescents in the past three decades. There are few data available concerning prevalence of suicidal behavior (SB) in this population. In France (a country with different socioeconomic characteristics), SBs are better studied. Understand the individual and environmental factors associated to suicidality is mandatory in order to think about public policies and interventions. We aimed to compare two clinical samples of adolescents suicide attempters, one from France and other from Brazil, in order to investigate clinical, cultural and environmental factors associated to SB. Method We compared 45 Brazilian adolescents admitted to the emergency department of a university hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil and 320 adolescents hospitalized in 5 pediatric departments across France, after a suicide attempt (SA). Several validated instrument were used in both countries, including the Kiddie schedule for affective Disorders and Schizophrenia–present and lifetime version, The Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale, The Beck Depression Inventory, The Beck Hopelessness Scale, The Adolescent Coping Scale, The Spirituality Scale, The Ab-DIB and the Relationship style questionnaire and Dep-Ado. Descriptive analyses and univariate and multiple regression models were completed. Results There was no significant differences between the 2 groups for age, sex, number of siblings, family structure, or special schooling. Brazilian adolescents had more antecedents of previous (P = 0,002) and lifetime number of SAs (P = 0.001); more deliberated self-harm (P Conclusion We found more severe psychopathology among Brazilian adolescents and differences in styles of attachment and coping skills probably as a result of the influence of social, cultural and environmental factors.

Trauma Psychotherapy With People Involved in BDSM/kink: Five Common Misconceptions and Five Essential Clinical Skills

Psychotherapists’ negative misconceptions about people involved or interested in BDSM/kink can result in unethical clinical practices and ineffective or harmful therapeutic outcomes. Five of psychotherapists’ common misconceptions about BDSM/kink are: that BDSM/kink relationships constitute a fringe relational style or “alternative lifestyle,” that BDSM/kink is inherently abusive and causes trauma, that involvement in BDSM/kink is caused by past trauma, that BDSM/kink relationships are inferior to or less meaningful than non-BDSM/kink relationships, and that BDSM/kink is not clinically relevant or appropriate to discuss in trauma therapy. This article challenges these five common misconceptions, discusses relevant research findings, and explains five of the essential clinical skills for trauma psychotherapists working with people interested or involved in BDSM/kink relationships and practices: understanding and identifying BDSM/kink relational roles and headspaces, distinguishing BDSM/kink from abuse, understanding and identifying key components of non-abusive BDSM/kink, determining the clinical salience of BDSM/kink, and identifying and managing freefall.

Relationships between perceived coach leadership, athletes’ use of coping and emotions among competitive table tennis players

The aims of this study were to examine: (a) whether coach leadership behaviours predict athletes’ use of coping and (b) whether coping predicts athletes’ emotional outcomes in competition. A sample of 180 table tennis players (M age = 33.87; SD = 16.64; 149 men and 31 women) voluntarily participated in the study. A partial least square path modelling (PLS-PM) approach was used to examine the relationships between the study variable. The results showed that: (a) coach democratic behaviour was significantly related to task-oriented coping; (b) task-oriented coping was significantly related to excitement and happiness; (c) distraction-oriented coping was significantly related to anxiety, dejection and anger. As a whole, PLS-PM results suggested that coach democratic behaviour could be the better style in relationship with positive coping and emotion outcomes in table tennis players.

An innate brainstem self-other system involving orienting, affective responding, and polyvalent relational seeking: Some clinical implications for a “Deep Brain Reorienting” trauma psychotherapy approach

Underlying any complex relational intersubjectivity there is an inherent urge to connect, to have proximity, to engage in an experience of interpersonal contact. The hypothesis set out here is that this most basic urge to connect is dependent on circuits based in three main components: the midbrain superior colliculi (SC), the midbrain periaqueductal gray (PAG), and the mesolimbic and mesocortical dopamine systems originating in the midbrain ventral tegmental area. Firstly, there is orienting towards or away from interpersonal contact, dependent on approach and/or defensive/withdrawal areas of the SC. Secondly, there is an affective response to the contact, mediated by the PAG. Thirdly, there is an associated, affectively-loaded, seeking drive based in the mesolimbic and mesocortical dopamine systems. The neurochemical milieu of these dopaminergic systems is responsive to environmental factors, creating the possibility of multiple states of functioning with different affective valences, a polyvalent range of subjectively positive and negative experiences.The recognition of subtle tension changes in skeletal muscles when orienting to an affectively significant experience or event has clinical implications for processing of traumatic memories, including those of a relational/interpersonal nature. Sequences established at the brainstem level can underlie patterns of attachment responding that repeat over many years in different contexts. The interaction of the innate system for connection with that for alarm, through circuits based in the locus coeruleus, and that for defence, based in circuits through the PAG, can lay down deep patterns of emotional and energetic responses to relational stimuli. There may be simultaneous sequences for attachment approach and defensive aggression underlying relational styles that are so deep as to be seen as personality characteristics, for example, of borderline type. A clinical approach derived from these hypotheses, Deep Brain Reorienting, is briefly outlined as it provides a way to address the somatic residues of adverse interpersonal interactions underlying relational patterns and also the residual shock and horror of traumatic experiences. We suggest that the innate alarm system involving the SC and the locus coeruleus can generate a pre-affective shock while an affective shock can arise from excessive stimulation of the PAG. Clinically significant residues can be accessed through careful, mindful, attention to orienting-tension-affect-seeking sequences when the therapist and the client collaborate on eliciting and describing them.

Evaluating Cognitive and Behavioral Outcomes in Conjunction with the Secure Base Effect for Dogs in Shelter and Foster Environments.

Simple SummaryAttachment relationships formed early in life have important implications for long-term social and behavioral outcomes for humans. Although previous research has established that dogs and humans form attachment relationships that can be categorized into attachment styles, the implications of these relationships have not been well-studied. This is a particularly important area of study for dogs living in foster homes and animal shelters, as it is currently unknown if and how attachment relationships formed in these environments correspond with behavioral and cognitive outcomes. In this study, we examined attachment styles in relation to cognitive measures and surveys of canine behavior and personality completed by caretakers of dogs in foster and shelter environments. Foster dogs with secure attachments displayed higher levels of persistence and performance on cognitive tasks compared to foster dogs with insecure attachments. On a survey given to foster and shelter volunteers, we found that securely attached dogs were rated as less neurotic than insecurely attached dogs for both foster and shelter groups. These results indicate that attachment relationships are associated with other important behavioral and cognitive traits of foster and shelter dogs, suggesting that the potential for causal associations should be explored further.Although it is widely accepted that dogs and humans form attachment relationships, characterizing attachment styles in dogs has only recently received attention in the literature. Previous research has shown that pet dogs display patterns of behavior in an attachment test that can be classified into secure and insecure attachment styles, much like human children and their caretakers. However, we currently know relatively little about the role of attachment styles in relation to canine well-being. This question may be of particular interest for the 3.9 million dogs that enter animal shelters in the United States alone each year, as this transition marks the dissolution of prior bonds and the establishment of new attachment relationships. Herein, results are presented from analyses of volunteer-reported canine personality and behavior measures, as well as performance on two cognitive tasks as they relate to attachment styles developed within shelter and foster environments. Results from the Canine Behavioral Assessment and Research Questionnaire (C-BARQ) indicated that foster dogs were scored as having significantly higher levels of attachment and attention-seeking behaviors when compared with shelter dogs. In both environments, dogs categorized as securely attached to a shelter or foster volunteer had lower neuroticism scores. Secure attachment in foster homes was also associated with improved persistence and performance on a point following task. These results provide support for the idea that attachment styles formed with temporary caregivers is associated with other behavioral and personality measures, and therefore may have implications for behavior and welfare in dogs living in foster homes and animal shelters.

Mediacyjna rola stylów radzenia sobie ze stresem w związkach temperamentu i wypalenia zawodowego. Badania pielęgniarek psychiatrycznych

Temperamental traits are indicated as some predictors of occupational burnout. At the same time, researchers emphasise that the importance of temperamental features for occurrences of burnout syndrome in medical staff is dependent on numerous intermediary variables, including ways of handling problematic situations. The overarching aim of presented studies was to examine whether styles of coping with stressful situations mediate relationships between temperamental traits and particular components of occupational burnout in psychiatric nurses. The study examined 60 women working in the psychiatric health care sector. Three psychological methods were employed in this research project: (1) Strelau Temperament Inventory by Strelau and Zawadzki (STI); (2) Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations by Endler and Parker (CISS); (3) Maslach Burnout Inventory - Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS). Conducted analyses allowed to confirm the mediating role of task style and emotional style in relationship between temperamental traits (briskness, perseveration, emotional reactivity, sensory sensitivity, activity) and occupational burnout. In the case of avoidance style there are no grounds to consider it as a mediator in the area of analysed dependencies. Providing psychiatric nurses with help: (1) should focus more on strengthening task style, rather than on rising awareness regarding the harmfulness of avoidance tendencies in the area of coping; (2) what seems important is developing the ability to experience negative emotions revealed in contacts with patients in a creative way.

The Experience of Foster Care and Long-Term Attachment

There are almost half a million children currently in foster care in the United States. The purpose of this paper is to study the linkage between foster care alumni and long-term attachment. In this qualitative study, six foster care alumni were interviewed. Nine themes emerged: trauma, stolen childhood, relationship style, trust issues, anxieties, current parenting concerns, broken system, coping strategies, and implications for counseling. The results of this study indicate that there are attachment implications for foster care alumni and that the experience of being in foster care was generally perceived as negative.

Volunteers Managing Volunteers: The Role of Volunteer Board Members’ Motivating and Demotivating Style in Relation to Volunteers’ Motives to Stay Volunteer

Against the background of declining volunteering rates in nonprofit and voluntary organizations, this study examined the relationship between the volunteer board members’ (de)motivating style and factors that influence volunteers’ motives to stay volunteer, i.e., volunteers’ motivation and group-task cohesion. To this end, we relied on Self-Determination Theory. Results indicated that the volunteers’ perception of the board members’ motivating style was positively related to volunteers’ autonomous motivation and perceived group-task cohesion via experienced need satisfaction (i.e., a bright pathway), whereas the board members’ perceived demotivating style was positively related to controlled motivation and amotivation via experienced need frustration (i.e., a dark pathway). Implications for volunteer management are illustrated with concrete examples.

Parenting Styles in Relation to Self-Esteem and School Performance of Senior High Students

Parenting styles provide the emotional climate for interaction between parents and children and have a significant impact on the family’s quality of life. School performance is considered as the adolescents’ capacity to interact effectively with the school environment by getting the general point average of their grades in the four quarters of School Year 2018-2019. This paper examined the effects of parenting styles on self-esteem and school performance among the Senior High students of Tubigon, Bohol, Philippines. The study utilized the descriptive normative survey method of research in gathering data through the use of a standardized survey tool in getting the parenting styles and self-esteem of the respondents. Data mining or desk review was conducted in securing the academic performance of the Senior High School of Tubigon, Bohol. Data were processed using averaging, Freeman Halton Test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Chi-Square. The majority of the 400 respondents yielded similar results in the four parenting styles, first is authoritative in both mothers (52.5 percent) and fathers (46.5 percent). It is followed by the permissive, father (21.5 percent), and mother (17.8 percent). It is followed by ambivalent parenting with fathers (18.8 percent) and mothers (17 percent). The majority (75.5 percent) of the respondents have high self-esteem. Almost a fourth (24.5 percent) had average self-esteem, and no one reflected low self-esteem. Nearly half (45.8 percent) of the total number of respondents had satisfactory school performance, more than a third (36 percent) had an outstanding rating, above a tenth (14 percent) had Very Satisfactory, and very few reflected Fairly Satisfactory (4.3 percent) results. The result of the Freeman-Halton test revealed that there is no statistically significant association between the fathers’ and mothers’ parenting styles and the age groups of the respondents. The Chi-square test revealed that the parenting styles of both the father (X2=7.717, df=3, p<0.10) and the mother (X2 =7.683, df=3, p<0.05) are statistically associated with the sex of the respondents. As to the relationship between self-esteem and academic performance, chi-square revealed a significant result. There is strong evidence of a difference (p-value < 0.05) between the mean ranks of at least one pair of the indicated categories. There is strong evidence that suggests that parenting styles have some bearing on how students perform at school.

A Cross-Cultural Study of Mathematical Achievement: from the Perspectives of One’s Motivation and Problem-solving Style

Mathematical achievement is affected by many psychosocial variables. Motivation and problem-solving, for instance, are important correlates. Although psychosocial variables are susceptible to cultural influences, most of the prior studies are based on samples obtained from Western populations. This highlights the need for cross-cultural investigations into this topic. In light of this, the present study aims to explore students’ mathematics achievement and its relation to motivation and problem-solving styles (approach–avoidance) via cross-cultural comparisons. The sample is composed of Taiwanese and American students derived from the Program for International Student Assessment 2012 dataset. The latent class analysis is utilized to explore the unobserved tendencies. Results show that to both research groups, similar latent subtypes are identified within research variables, suggesting that in spite of cultural differences, Taiwanese and Americans exhibit similar subtypes of motivation so as problem-solving styles (habits) in relation to mathematical learning or everyday challenges. Data further indicate that while two countries do not substantively differ on the percentages of students having intrinsic or combined motivations (intrinsic and extrinsic), more Americans are classified as having an extrinsic-oriented motivation and more Taiwanese are classified as having no motivation. Possible cultural factors associated with this phenomenon are discussed in the article. Interestingly, the correspondence analysis maps further reveal that, although two research variables both are important correlates, one’s everyday problem-solving habits seem to be central to mathematical achievement comparing to learning motivations. This phenomenon is observed in both Taiwanese and American groups; its significance is worthy of further investigations.

Impact of the interaction between alexithymia and the adult attachment styles in participants with alcohol use disorder.

The current study aims to investigate the effect of the interaction between adult attachment styles and alexithymia among participants with alcohol use disorder (AUD). This study is cross-sectional, conducted between November 2017 and March 2018, which enrolled 789 community-dwelling participants. The interaction between alexithymia and secure relationship tended to significance (p=0.057). Higher interaction between alexithymia and a fearful relationship style (β=0.04) were significantly associated with higher AUD. The interaction model revealed the importance of stratifying the results according to presence/absence of alexithymia. Being a female and having a secure relationship style were significantly associated with lower AUD in both groups. Being divorced was significantly associated with higher AUD in both groups. Increasing age (β=-1.48), secondary (β=-4.65), and university level of education (β=-6.46) were significantly associated with lower AUD in the non-alexithymic group. Intermediate monthly income (β=2.69) and being widowed (β=8.24) were significantly associated with higher AUD in the non-alexithymic group. High monthly income (β=3.46) was significantly associated with higher AUD in the alexithymic group. The results of this study showed that the consideration of the combination between attachment styles and alexithymia is of significance in the diagnosis and therapy of alcohol use disorders.

Testing Emotional Eating Style in Relation to Willingness to Pay for Nutritional Claims.

In face of the high prevalence of non-communicable diseases, nutritional claims represent a useful tool to help people to make healthier food choices. However, recent research notes that when some people experience an intense emotional state, they increase their food consumption, particularly of energy-dense and sweet foods. In consequence, this study aims to assess whether emotional eating (EE) style influences the purchase of food products carrying these claims. To this end, a real choice experiment (RCE) was conducted with 306 participants who were asked to evaluate different types of toast. An error component random parameter logit (ECRPL) was used to analyze their preferences for reduced-fat and low-salt claims toast and the effects of the variation of the EE score on individual preferences. Findings of this study suggest that emotional eating negatively impacts purchasing behavior related to nutritional claims. In particular, a decrease of the willingness to pay between 9% and 16% for every unit of toast with nutritional claims was noted when an increase of EE individual score was registered. In this regard, to increase the effectiveness of the nutritional claims, policymakers and private sectors should consider the management of individuals’ emotional states in designing public health policies and marketing strategies, respectively.

Identidade Cultural e o Corpo

O ser humano define a sua identidade principalmente pela forma como apresenta, desenha e estiliza o seu corpo. Ao fazê-lo, os indivíduos fazem declarações sobre a sua filiação para um contexto social. A globalização implica uma mudança de identidade entre os membros das culturas menos industrializadas, uma vez que estão expostos aos efeitos da dominação cultural. Para o indivíduo, essa exposição pode ser tanto mais forte quanto mais autônoma era sua cultura de origem antes do confronto. Há uma parcialidade de elementos culturais que estão sendo transferidos, de modo que a cultura industrializada tem um forte impacto em outras culturas. O consentimento global em relação aos padrões de comportamento, especialmente à autoapresentação corporal e aos estilos cognitivos relacionados, leva à obliteração do conhecimento tradicional, que está entrelaçado com o comportamento sobre o qual a identidade foi definida anteriormente. Os elementos culturais transferidos estão sendo utilizados para a construção de identidades pessoais globalmente padronizadas, em que os elementos relativos ao desenho visual do corpo humano são de grande relevância para a autodefinição. A perda de identidades diversas em favor da pertença à sociedade global provoca uma série de problemas que podem ser demonstrados em modelos funcionais. Esses modelos, por sua vez, podem apoiar o planeamento de estratégias de intervenção e o trabalho de resgate. Neste artigo, analisa-se o papel do corpo nos efeitos desestabilizadores da mudança cultural e discutem-se as possibilidades de intervenção.
