RESUMO

The present researchs objective is to analyze the influence of religious faith on the treatment of persons with cancer, specifically rectal-colon cancer, in order to collect data from a homogeneous group. The field research was realized at the Ambulatory Oncology Ward of the Clinical Hospital of UNICAMP (The State University of Campinas). The motivation for this study arose via the pastoral presence of this researcher in the above noted context, the observation of the different reactions of patients with cancer, and awareness that faith played a fundamental role in treatment and personal struggle against the disease. The study relies on research on cancer by the physicians and psychoanalysts Carl Simonton and Stefanie M. Simonton, Com a Vida de Novo, and the author Bernie S. Siegel, Amor, Medicina e Milagres. The analysis and delimitation of the term faith relies on the thought of Paul Tillich, specifically The Dynamics of Faith, and James Fowler, Stages of Faith. The verification of the hypothesis also relied on understandings of Psychoanalysis and the Psychology and Religion developed by Carl Gustav Jung, Erich Fromm and Victor Frankl. The development of this project is presented in three chapters. The first presents an analysis of the relationship between medicine and faith, based on the above mentioned authors. The second chapter presents the results of the field research. The third chapter presents reflections and analysis of the field research in light of the theoretical references in question.(AU)
