Abstract(s)
Na atualidade assiste-se a uma crescente tendência para notícias e estudos que apontam para uma falha nos serviços de acompanhamento clínico em serviços prisionais. O presente estudo tem como objetivo explorar aspetos associados a quadros clínicos e dimensões de personalidade que pouca atenção têm recebido na literatura e de potencial interesse para o entendimento do sujeito que comete um crime e que se encontra a cumprir pena num estabelecimento prisional. Assim, procurou-se explorar na população reclusa portuguesa, recorrendo a uma amostra de 59 indivíduos dos estabelecimentos prisionais de Castelo Branco, Covilhã, Torres Novas e Leiria, a presença de Alexitimia e dos componentes da chamada Tríade Negra da Personalidade, i.e. Maquiavelismo, Narcisismo e Psicopatia, bem como analisar potenciais relações entre si e com variáveis sociodemográficas de interesse. Para tal recorreu-se à aplicação de um questionário sociodemográfico bem como das escalas TAS-20 e SD3. A análise efetuada revelou relações de interesse e diferenças estatisticamente significativas em função de variáveis como a idade, o acompanhamento clínico e a toma de medicação e sobretudo a existência de fortes indícios destas dimensões na população avaliada que servem de motivo para que a investigação das mesmas se torne cada vez mais relevante, sobretudo pelas suas implicações no desenvolvimento de programas terapêuticos.
Nowadays we are witnessing a growing trend when it comes to news and investigations that point to a failure in clinical monitoring in correctional facilities. This study aims to explore aspects associated with clinical disorders as well as personality dimensions that have received little attention in the literature, that are of potential interest for a better understanding of the individual behind the crime and who is currently serving a sentence in prison. In order to accomplish this, we aimed to explore, within the Portuguese prison population, using a sample of 59 individuals from the prisons of Castelo Branco, Covilhã, Torres Novas and Leiria, the presence of alexithymia and components of the recently new term called the Dark Triad, i.e. Machiavellianism, Narcissism and Psychopathy as well as to investigate the potential links between them and with sociodemographic variables of interest. To carry out this goal, the application of a sociodemographic questionnaire and of the TAS-20 and SD3 scales was necessary. The analysis that was carried out revealed relationships of interest and statistically significant differences depending on variables such as age, clinical monitoring and use of medication and especially the existence of strong evidence of the existence of previously referred dimensions in this population, which constitute a reason for their investigation to become increasingly important and necessary in the future, especially for its implications in the development of therapeutic programs.
