Resumo: The present paper describes the mutual help group known as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and its therapeutic potentials. In order to do that, the relevant literature was widely reviewed, focusing on books that are considered to be the group’s rationale. In addition, a field study was conducted with AA members, using the participant observation technique, followed by voluntary interviews with members. As suggested to every newcomer to AA, our observation was made by attending 90 meetings over 90 days. Finally, an anonymous questionnaire was also applied, aiming to draw a more detailed profile of a small sample of the people attending the group. A total of 35 questionnaires were returned, and they revealedthe importance of the AA group in changing the lives of these people.

Para tanto, foi realizado um amplo estudo de sua literatura, com livros considerados como seu texto base, assim como um trabalho de campo com membros do AA, sendo utilizada técnica de observação participativa seguida de entrevistas voluntárias com os membros. Conforme sugerido a todo recém-chegado no AA, a observação foi feita em 90 reuniões ao longo de 90 dias. Finalmente, foi aplicado também um questionário anônimo, visando obter um melhor perfil de uma pequena amostra do total de pessoas que frequentam o grupo. Ao todo, obtivemos 35 questionários respondidos, que demonstraram a importância do AA na mudança de vida dessas pessoas.Associação Brasileira de Psiquiatria2015-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-ReviewedRevisado por ParesAvaliado Pelos Paresapplication/pdfhttps://revistardp.org.br/revista/article/view/15110.25118/2236-918X-5-6-3Debates in Psychiatry; Vol. 5 No. 6 (2015); 12-19Debates em Psiquiatria; Vol. 5 Núm. 6 (2015); 12-19Debates em Psiquiatria; v. 5 n. 6 (2015); 12-192763-90372236-918Xreponame:Debates em Psiquiatria (Online)instname:Associação Brasileira de Psiquiatria (ABP)instacron:ABPporhttps://revistardp.org.br/revista/article/view/151/133https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMagalhães, Rafael Britto deSaide, Osvaldo Luiz2023-06-07T20:18:41Zoai:ojs.emnuvens.com.br:article/151Revistahttps://revistardp.org.br/revista/oaiPUBhttps://revistardp.org.br/revista/oairdp@abp.org.br2763-90372236-918Xopendoar:2023-06-07T20:18:41Debates em Psiquiatria (Online) - Associação Brasileira de Psiquiatria (ABP)false
