摘要：We intend to suggest in this study certain cautions in the psychotherapic handling, according to the possibilities of interactions among psychodynamic, organic, and social factors, of an HIV infected patient. The patient was evaluated in the UNESP’s Special Infectious Maladies Ambulatory – in Botucatu. Information on the clinical history, between 1995 and 2002, was collected. For the psychological assessment, we used the Object Relations Test and the Adaptive Operacionalized Diagnosis System. The patient suffered from chronic depression of the manic-depressive psychotic type, associated to the deterioration of the immunological system, with suicide risks, demanding with high priorities the offering of psychotherapy. The persecutory feelings determined by psychodynamic characteristics of the schizoid-paranoid position seemed to blend with the segregation and prejudice experienced by these individuals in a day-to-day basis.
