RESUMO

This research intended to present the experience with a group of overweight and obese adolescents, as well as the analysis of this experience aiming at: the verification of the themes emerged from the group; the knowledge of the symbolical meaning of these adolescents actions and verbalizations; the perception whether the conquest of a sensitization in the group in respect to their conditions took place; the confirmation whether the necessary conditions for a sustentation or holding of the group from the support group technique occurred. The elected method upon which this research was based was the clinical method, through which one can get a bio-psycho-social comprehension of the individual. The participants were seven obese and overweight adolescents, composing a homogeneous group in diagnostic and ages band. A recorder and cassette-tapes were used with the authorization of all the participants as well as of their parents, who were cleared up on all the details of the research, to which they were also volunteers. The instruments used were: a previous interview that allowed selecting the participants while avoiding counter indications, and the support group technique. The place where the work was carried out was a private clinic room with capacity for up to 15 people. The desks were placed in circle within good distance that allowed good communication. There were four weekly sessions of an hour and a half, during which the researchers function was not prominent towards the group but it was the only one previously determined. It was paid a special attention to the favoring of the holding and of the groups cohesion, for the intent of the evaluation. For the results analysis the qualitative model proposed by Kaës and Anzieu (1976) was adopted, with the selection of excerpts that were analyzed and discussed after various readings of the psychologist and the adviser professor of this research, who has a group-analytical background. Thus, the analysis and the results interpretation seemed to reach our intents concerning the participants sensitization as well as the holding offered by the group context, besides the possibility to identify the themes that arose from the group and some of their symbolical meanings.
