No. of bitstreams: 1 Daniela Pupo Barbosa Bianchi.pdf: 3174413 bytes, checksum: 8a6adc765c98288926ec9b5434cd353a (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-08-15 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / In clinical psychotherapy we observe the frequent presence of secrets. Many of these contents interfere directly or indirectly in the life and constitution of subjectivity of the patient. From the point of view of the Family Therapy approach, secrets are considered systemic phenomena, being part of relationships and forming dyads, triangles, alliances, divisions and disruptions. It is a common finding that family secrets involve facts, events or actions that are considered socially shameful and whose disclosure would have bad consequences for the family. In view of the above, this study aimed at contributing to the understanding of the role of secrets within a family system from a trans-generational perspective. The overall goal was to understand how the participant perceived and attributed meaning to the secrets in his life trajectory. The specific objectives were to analyze how the participant perceived and attributed meaning to the transmission of secrets through the generations as well as to analyze how the relationship between secrets and family myths was established. To achieve the proposed objectives, a qualitative research was developed based on an instrumental case study. The instruments employed were a semi-structured interview, the family play genogram and the sandplay. The results, analyzed from a systemic perspective, indicate that the participant understands that the secrets interfered directly in his life and in the construction of his identity. He realizes that the transmission of these contents, throughout the generations, took place by oral transmission of beliefs and values, as well as by the observation of behaviors and attitudes. As for the family myths, it was possible to infer that they were directly related to the family secrets in a feedback mechanism, by which these phenomena sustained and fed each other. In the life history of the participant, there is a central axis also revealed by this study, that is, the uprooting. The diaspora and the experience of expatriation - that have caused such uprooting - activated the familiar mythology that has prompted the phenomenon of the secret in the search of system protection / Nos atendimentos clínicos em psicoterapia podemos observar a presença frequente de segredos. Muitos desses conteúdos interferem direta ou indiretamente na vida e na constituição da subjetividade da pessoa atendida. Sob o ponto de vista da abordagem da Terapia Familiar, os segredos são considerados fenômenos sistêmicos, uma vez que estão ligados aos relacionamentos, formando díades, triângulos, alianças, divisões e rompimentos. É comum perceber que os segredos familiares envolvem fatos, acontecimentos ou ações que são considerados socialmente vergonhosos e cuja revelação teria consequências ruins para aquela família. Diante do exposto, este trabalho visa contribuir para a compreensão do papel do segredo dentro de um sistema familiar a partir de um olhar transgeracional, por meio de um estudo de caso instrumental. O objetivo geral foi compreender como o participante percebeu e significou os segredos em sua trajetória de vida. Os objetivos específicos foram: analisar como o participante percebeu e significou a transmissão do segredo através das gerações bem como analisar como se estabeleceu, nesse caso, a relação entre segredos e mitos familiares. Para atingir os objetivos propostos, foi utilizada uma abordagem qualitativa de pesquisa, a partir da perspectiva sistêmica, desenvolvida com a utilização de entrevista semiestruturada, genograma lúdico e sandplay. Os resultados apontam que o participante percebe que os segredos interferiram diretamente em sua vida e na construção de sua identidade, sendo certo que, para ele, a transmissão desses conteúdos, ao longo das gerações, deu-se por transmissão oral de crenças e valores, bem como pela observação de comportamentos e atitudes. Quanto aos mitos familiares foi possível inferir que, na presente pesquisa, estão diretamente ligados aos segredos familiares em um mecanismo de retroalimentação, por meio do qual esses fenômenos se sustentam e se alimentam reciprocamente. Há, ainda, na história de vida do participante, um eixo central revelado pelo estudo, qual seja, o desenraizamento. A diáspora e a experiência de expatriação – promotores desse desenraizamento – ativaram a mitologia familiar que acabou por desencadear o fenômeno do segredo na busca de proteção do sistema

<p>Parallell barn- och föräldrabehandling är idag det vanligast praktiserade sättet att bedriva behandlingsarbete med barn och familjer. Det har sin grund i ett psykoanalytiskt förhållningssätt där man traditionellt betonar arbetet med barnet, med en möjlig risk att föräldraarbetet och föräldrarnas roll i barnets terapi kommer i skymundan. Följande studie lyfter fram föräldrarnas egna berättelser kring att medverka och vara en del av en parallell behandling tillsammans med sitt barn. Syftet var att belysa föräldrars upplevelse av delaktighet i sina barns terapier när familjen deltagit i en parallell barn- och föräldrabehandling. Det är en kvalitativ intervjustudie med en tolkande ansats ur ett psykodynamiskt och systemiskt perspektiv. Resultatet visade att föräldrarna överlag upplevde det som att de fått tillräcklig inblick och att de känt sig delaktiga i behandlingen, dock framkom en aspekt av ambivalens i att de både velat och inte velat ha mer inblick och insikt i barnets behandling. Det visade sig vidare att föräldrarnas behov av inblick och insikt i barnets terapi var relaterat till upplevelsen av tillit till behandlingen. Författarens slutsatser är att tillit, inblick och insikt är tre viktiga interagerande aspekter av föräldrarnas upplevelse av delaktighet i barnets behandling.</p>

When single-parent households are consequences of intentional or unintentional reasons, they are often associated with economic and psychosocial challenges. This study aimed to understand, explore, describe and interpret the economic and psychosocial experiences of single parents in KwaDambuza. This study highlights relevant issues that may provide guidance to different stakeholders in their efforts to deal with challenges of single- parent households. Qualitative research processes were used in this study. The sample consisted of 20 single-parent households (ten male and ten female single-parent households). Data collection took place using in-depth interviews and one focus group. The use of these two techniques served to enhance the reliability of the data. The ecosystem theory was utilised as a fundamental conceptual theory to understand the economic and psychosocial plight of both male and female single-parent households. The findings show that there were four key themes and six sub-themes that emerged from the data analysis and which are discussed in relation to the microsystem, mezzosystem, exosystem and macrosystems impacting single-parent households. Theme one focuses on the structural impact of poverty, unemployment on both male and female single-parent households and discusses two sub-themes: the impact of social grants on the family household income and family expenditure and implications for education of children. Theme two provides insight into the psychosocial challenges experienced, and discusses two sub-themes: intrapersonal and interpersonal challenges of males and females single-parent households. The third theme focuses on parental responsibilities and child care as a sub-theme. The fourth theme focuses on the blatant lack of support systems that negatively impact both the male and female single-parent households and discusses one sub-theme: access to service provision. The study revealed that the main challenge is poverty which was closely connected to unavailability and inaccessibility of service providers, and lack of support structures. / M.A. University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban 2013.

Couple therapy is a frequently sought domain by couples who experience problems in their relationships. Couple therapy has been researched intensively, but few studies incorporate a holistic account of the therapeutic process. This study aims to explore and integrate the therapist's and the couple's experiences of change in the context of couple therapy. The ecosystemic epistemology and the narrative metaphor forms the foundation from which the therapy and the research is approached. Qualitative research methods are employed from within a naturalistic paradigm which allows for personal and unique meanings to emerge. Rich descriptions of the therapist's and the participant's stories of change are provided. Multiple perspectives are offered in the stories which reveal the reciprocal motions between the therapist's and the couples' change processes. Recurring themes are extracted from the stories which punctuate the pivotal change processes that were experienced by the therapist and the couples during the therapy. / Psychology / M.A. (Clinical Psychology)

This study aims to show that the adoption of the cybernetic perspective is appropriate in dealing with relationship problems of interacting and communicating individuals since it authenticates the inclusion of the therapist in the therapeutic system, and thus the creation of a reality by all involved, and not just the therapist alone. The constructivist view of the world and the systemic theoretical assumptions are recognized as the required framework for the adopted cybernetic approach. The consideration of the stability/change nature of change is acknowledged as forming the most essential aspects of the change that system require. Thus addressing both stability of what clients need to maintain of themselves, as well as what they want to change is important. The action research methodology used in this research ensured a focus on the actions of the therapist/social worker while facilitating a therapeutic process with a family. Therefore attention could be given to areas requiring change through the planning, acting and reflecting steps throughout the process. / Social Work / M.A. (Social Science (Mental Health))

Text in English / In this study the use of the narrative analogy in couple's counselling has been outlined. A literature study situates the narrative analogy within a wider philosophical framework. The underlying assumptions of the narrative analogy, both in general and in the work with couples, as well as the role of the counsellor using the narrative analogy, are explored. A case example is described to illustrate the use of the narrative analogy. / Social Work / M. Soc. Sc. (Mental Health)
