RESUMO

This investigation was carried out in a specialized institution aiming at the knowledge of the practical aspects involving the intermission in the therapeutic process of children with cerebral palsy under the family s point of view. Differing from the discharge, the intermission usually happens when the patient did not achieve basic goals established by the institution to be kept in treatment. A group of ten parents of children with cerebral palsy who attended a specific institution were interviewed between January and March, 2008, with semi-structured questions about the implications of the intermission in the therapeutic process of their children on the families. Collected data were qualitatively analyzed. For these parents, the way how intermission was conducted has generated anguish and suffering for the family as well as for the patient with cerebral palsy, who played in fact an adjuvant role in all this process. Results have pointed out as well the emotional discomfort of the professionals who play the hard role of communicating the intermission without being prepared for it. The constitution of a multidisciplinar support team for realizing gradually the intermission was suggested, so that the resignification of the process in changes in the way it has usually been conducted.
