Resumo: Esta dissertação baseia-se num estudo observacional
e descritivo da influência- -das práticas religiosas no doente mental. Foram entrevistados 40 pacientes internados nas Enfermarias de psiquiatria, sendo 20 do Hospital das-Clínicas da UNICAMP e 20 do Hospital e Maternidade Dr. Celso pierro da PUCCAMP. A pesquisa -foi realizada verificando-se a incidência dessas práticas, as mudanças de religião em períodos de cris-es
e os relatos das histórias de vida. Com um grupo controle de pacientes cardíacos, procurou-se verificar a hipótese de que o doente mental busca
mais as práticas religiosas numa-expectativa de cura para o seu adoecer. A caracterização desta prática como desencadeante ou agravante dos distúrbios mentais, foi abordada dentro das ambigüidades da religião como fator desintegrador e/ou integrador. Os dados foram colhidos através de entrevistas semi-estruturadas. Na análise estatística utilizou-se porcentagens, tabulações e cruzamentos de variáveis. A análise do resumo das histórias de vida, permitiu a descrição de aspectos psioo-sócio-culturais da população pesquisada, relacionadas com a religiosidade.
