PRELIMINARY INFORMATIONPRELIMINARY INFORMATION

CASE CASE

(^44) Carl Rogers (1978) the humanist model emphasizes making the patient aware of his behavior and responsibility towards himself so that in this way he can face said problem with greater efficiency, autonomy and confidence. According to Erickson cited by Volker, Sánchez (1998) indicates that people only become ineffective and disturbed when failed learning or traumatic experiences interrupt normal development. If, on the contrary, the person did not experience this type of deficiencies, they would be in a position to intervene in their own development and take responsibility for their lives. Gonzales et., al (2005) mention that depression maintains two complementary approaches: Depression usually constitutes a reaction of impotence and failure in the face of failed attempts to control the threads of our existence.

CLINICAL CASECLINICAL CASE

Phoebe Jones is a 51 year old woman, marital status widowed and her occupation is being a homemaker, currently Phoebe lives with her son Jacob Jones who is 25 years old. Lately, Jacob reports that his mother exhibits a depressed mood most of the day with sadness, hopelessness, insomnia, and loss of interest in activities she used to do with enthusiasm. (^55) Diagnostic In the assessment process it is inferred that Phoebe is suffering from depression and that the cause of repressing her feelings of grief and sadness is because of the loss of her spouse. From this point on, it could be observed that Phoebe is in a stage of denial about the loss of her husband.

FOUNDATION OF HYPOTHESISFOUNDATION OF HYPOTHESIS

(^77) Through the analysis of the data collected in the anamnesis, and based on the patient's manifestations, we formulated the hypothesis of a possible case of depression due to the loss of the spouse, in addition to not wanting to be a burden for her son, who is very worried about her. To corroborate this, a psychological evaluation instrument to measure depression was applied, which was the Zung Depression Scale (ZDS), in order to determine her level of depression.

GENERAL CONCLUSIONGENERAL CONCLUSION

From the humanistic perspective, grief is considered a process aimed at balancing the interaction between the individual and his or her environment, where harmony and adaptation to the new reality of life after the loss of a loved one is sought. For this reason, it has been decided to work with the patient from a humanistic point of view, with the aim of overcoming grief and achieving a state of balance with herself, with the environment and with life.
