The thematic drawing-and-story procedure in qualitative research: an integrative review
Sueli Regina Gallo-Belluzzo, Gisele Meirelles Fonseca, Tânia Maria José Aiello-Vaisberg
Abstract
Conducting qualitative psychological research that addresses controversial, embarrassing or politically correct issues demands measures that facilitate the expression of participants’ subjective positions. By motivating imaginative associations, mediating resources seem to meet this need well, entailing it deserves to be studied. Methodologically organized as an integrative literature review based on consultations of the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Electronic Journals in Psychology (PEPsic), Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS) and The United States National Library of Medicine (PubMed), the present article aims to investigate the use of the Thematic Drawing-and-Story Procedure (PDE-T) in qualitative investigations. The chosen databases have provided 25 articles published between 2017 and 2023 and used as a sole resource or accompanied by others. Approaching various populations and various phenomena with different theoretical frameworks, these studies, according to this review, show that the use of the PDE-T favours the generation of significant, reliable and useful empirical material in the production of comprehensive knowledge. Therefore, there is a body of knowledge that makes it possible to affirm that the PDE-T is an important and promising interview mediator in the field of qualitative research.

“The one who takes care is the mother”: Legal mediators’ child care imaginary
Gisele Meirelles Fonseca-Inacarato, Sueli Regina Gallo-Belluzzo, Tânia Maria José Aiello-Vaisberg
Abstract
Objective Investigate child care collective imaginaries, a focus justified by the social and family transformations resulting from the massive insertion of women into the labor market.
Method The study is organized methodologically from the perspective of concrete psychoanalytic psychology, articulating the use of the psychoanalytic method with relational theorizations. The research involves collective psychological interviews, in which 12 judicial mediators were interviewed through the Thematic Drawing and Story Procedure.
Results The psychoanalytical consideration of the material allowed the interpretative production of four affective–emotional meaning fields.
Conclusion The general picture indicates that a conservative imaginary prevails in which the best child care is provided by the biological mother in the contexts of both the nuclear family and the matrifocal family while also maintaining a friendly bond with the father.

Being and doing differentiated settings: the little princess and the plant’s poison of the forest
Vera Lúcia Mencarelli, Adriana Micelli Baptista, Tania Maria José Aiello Vaisberg
Abstract
This work investigates the mutative potential of using personalized fictional stories to reveal to children and adolescents the diagnosis of organic diseases. It is set around psychology sessions of an HIV+ adolescent which were transcribed in the form of transference narratives and examined under the Ambrosio and Vaisberg Procedure for evaluation of psychotherapeutic benefits. Adopting this procedure, it was possible to verify that the use of stories favored a mutative experience of transition from a defended and dissociated position to a more integrated and less anxious position, characterized by the possibility of greater tolerance to suffering when the option of belonging to ordinary life is offered. Clinical and reflective dialogues with Winnicot psychoanalysis finalize the text, evidencing the passage of a HIV+ diagnosis from a subjective object to an object that belongs to the shared world.

Interactive narratives in the investigation of the collective imaginary about motherhood
Tania Maria Marques Granato, Tania Maria José Aiello Vaisberg
Abstract
Considering narration and psychoanalysis as processes of interpreting human experience, a narrative was developed to investigate the collective imaginary about motherhood. It is a fictional story elaborated by the researchers based on their clinical experience with pregnant women. When the interactive narrative reaches a climax, the researcher interrupts the story and invites the participants to complete it. Subsequently, the researcher and participants discuss the addressed topic and their own experiences during the writing process. In the present study, an interactive narrative about a couple which faces the possibility of having a baby with Down syndrome was presented to two groups of undergraduate Pedagogy and Psychology students. The psychoanalytical consideration of the narratives completed suggested expectations of an idealized mother who would accept her child unconditionally despite the implied sacrifice and her own feelings and a strong and protective father, when present. Conceptions of motherhood and its conflicts are discussed.
