二者状況と三者状況における体験から見た広汎性発達障害 -PAC 分析と円を用いた描画法による検討-

Abstract

Experiences of dyads and triads were investigated from the perspective of Pervasive Developmental Disorder, by using PAC (Personal Attitude Construct) analysis and a drawing technique of using a circle. Moreover, the patterns of relationships of individuals with pervasive developmental disorder were investigated. Many participants with pervasive developmental disorder in general had positive experiences in dyads, whereas in triads, many people felt that it was difficult to participate in conversations and in most cases followed the other two people. Some people felt lonely in isolation, while others felt comfortable. Furthermore, though it was difficult to make a projective interpretation of a drawing technique of using a circle of each individual. There was no image of possible relational structures in general university students, such as "interactive relationships" or "relationships with others." Both in dyads and triads, a woman with suspected Asperger syndrome could feel a sense of belonging in a relationship, or not be affected, being at ease and staying at the scene. Furthermore, it was suggested that work complexity was related to active participation. To obtain "the other's permission" was necessary for staying at the scene. Especially, relationships with people that were accepting of participation (i.e. close friendship) were essential. It would be important to maintain one-to-one relationships through an individual care system in the group and to support the participant through playing auxiliary ego functions of clients with pervasive developmental disorder, considering "difficulties in finding a place of one's own" and difficulties in having a sense of unity in a group consisting of more than three members.
