Abordagem clínica perante desequilíbrio da autoestima

Abstract

This article aimed to analyze the contribution of diverse psychotherapies to restore dysfunctional self-esteem. It was carried out a systematic review of studies in which the following points have been highlighted: the development of self-esteem depends on how much the individual has been impacted by his/her experiences and how he/she gives meaning to them; beliefs that individuals have about themselves will determine how they relates to themselves, to the other and to the world; we are all in constant transformations, so each individual can change the course of his/her life. Based on methods such as the reprogramming strategy of dysfunctional beliefs based on the cognitive thought and the verbal and affective interaction between therapist and client, it was evident the importance of psychotherapy  intervention in the reconstruction of self-esteem.
