Economic issues influence the behavior of people, thus presenting refutations in marital relationships. Money has its own meaning for each human being and during the constitution of conjugality a particular way of managing the finances on the part of the couple will be established. In turn, couples may face problems related to financial issues. In this sense, this dissertation sought to understand the influence of money management in the exercise of conjugality, having as specific objectives: a) to analyze the meaning that money has for the individual; b) identify the way of managing the money chosen by the conjugal dyad; c) recognize the existence of possible conflicts faced by the couple, related to financial matters; d) distinguish coping strategies used by the couple in an attempt to resolve possible conflicts over financial issues. This is a qualitative research in which eight subjects participated, being four women and four men (not married to each other), heterosexuals, of middle class, without children, aged between 25 and 40 years. They answered a sociodemographic questionnaire, which had as objective to collect relevant information about the studied public, and an interview conducted in a semi-directed way, composed of questions related to the objectives of the research. The responses to the interview were analyzed based on the thematic content analysis. The main results indicate that: the way couples manage finances influences the exercise of conjugality; the meaning of money is directly influenced by the patterns of financial behavior inherited and taught by the family of origin; financial issues are likely to create conflicts; couples facing economic conflicts use negotiation and dialogue strategies to solve the problem. It is hoped to be able to contribute to broaden the understanding and visibility about this subject, as well as to provide subsidies for the work of professionals dealing with couples in conflicts, since research related to the proposed subject is still scarce in the Brazilian reality. / O dinheiro faz parte do desenvolvimento humano e está presente em todas as relações. As questões econômicas influenciam o comportamento das pessoas, apresentando, dessa forma, rebatimentos nas relações conjugais. O dinheiro tem um significado próprio para cada ser humano e durante a constituição da conjugalidade será estabelecida uma maneira particular de administração das finanças por parte do casal. Por sua vez, os casais podem enfrentar problemas relacionados a questões de ordem financeira. Nesse sentido, esta dissertação pretendeu compreender a influência do manejo do dinheiro no exercício da conjugalidade, tendo como objetivos específicos: a) analisar o significado que o dinheiro tem para o indivíduo; b) identificar a forma de manejo do dinheiro escolhida pela díade conjugal; c) reconhecer a existência de possíveis conflitos enfrentados pelo casal, relacionados às questões financeiras; d) distinguir estratégias de enfrentamento utilizadas pelo casal na tentativa de resolução de possíveis conflitos atravessados pelas questões financeiras. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa da qual participaram oito sujeitos, sendo quatro mulheres e quatro homens (não casados entre si), heterossexuais, de camadas médias, sem filhos, na faixa etária entre 25 e 40 anos. Eles responderam a um questionário sociodemográfico, que teve como objetivo a coleta de informações relevantes acerca do público estudado, e a uma entrevista conduzida de forma semidirigida, composta de questões relacionadas aos objetivos da pesquisa. As respostas à entrevista foram analisadas com base na análise de conteúdo temática. Os principais resultados indicam que: a forma como os casais manejam as finanças apresenta influência no exercício da conjugalidade; o significado do dinheiro é diretamente influenciado pelos padrões de comportamentos financeiros herdados e ensinados pela família de origem; questões de ordem financeira são passíveis de gerarem conflitos; casais que enfrentam conflitos econômicos utilizam estratégias de negociação e diálogo na busca da resolução do problema. Espera-se poder contribuir no sentido de ampliar a compreensão e a visibilidade acerca dessa temática, bem como proporcionar subsídios para o trabalho de profissionais que lidam com casais em conflitos, visto que pesquisas relacionadas ao assunto proposto ainda são escassas na realidade brasileira.

Cette thèse se propose d’examiner les représentations de la femme dans Ekomo (1985) de María Nsue Angüe et Hija de la fortuna (1998) d’Isabel Allende. Dans l’un comme dans l’autre texte, la femme est marginalisée en tant que fille, mère et épouse. Dans Ekomo, María Nsue Angüe soutient que cette situation perdure depuis la fondation des tribus fang par l’ancêtre, Afrikara. Une période durant laquelle, la femme s’illustrait tantôt par sa traîtrise, tantôt par sa sorcellerie. L’enseignement de la généalogie des tribus destiné aux jeunes hommes, conforte cette idée. Ainsi, alors que les jeunes hommes sont préparés pour dominer, les jeunes filles de leur côté, sont éduquées pour obéir et se soumettre. Une image de paria dont la femme tant dans Hija de la fortuna que dans Ekomo ne parvient que rarement à défaire. Cependant, deux événements vont accélérer la prise de conscience des femmes de cette marginalisation et favoriser leur libération. D’abord le contact de la tradition fang avec la culture occidentale et l’école en particulier et, ensuite le voyage ou l’éloignement de la femme de la famille. Chez María Nsue Angüe tout comme chez Isabel Allende, la libération de la femme suscite des interrogations tant leurs propositions paraissent inappropriées. / The aim of this thesis is to consider women representations in the books Ekomo (1985) and Hija de la fortuna, respectively written by María Nsue Angüe and Isabel Allende. In both books, women are marginalized. In Ekomo, María Nsue Angüe states that the situation has not been changing since the Fang tribe foundation by the ancestor, Afrikara. During this period women were renowned for treachery and witchcraft. The genealogical teachings given to boys, venerate the male ancestors and dishonor females. Therefore, while boys are trained to dominate and to carry out noble tasks, girls are educated to obey and to be obsequious. Women rarely manage to get rid of this ancestral and historic pariah image in Hija de la fortuna and Ekomo. Two events will accelerate women's awareness of their marginalization and will help them to get free. Firstly, the contact between the Fang tradition and the European culture and particularly school and then the journey and the estrangement of women from their family. With both María Nsue Angüe and Isabel Allende, women freedom gives rise to so many questions because their statements are inappropriate.

Years of psychotherapy practice at university, state, and military hospitals developed the author's interest in the presentation of love relationship problems. Mood and anxiety disorders, as the most prevalent pathologies, were often co-morbid with or secondary to partner relationship issues. Most vexing for clients was a situation of repeated dysfunctional partner selections in which similar problems arose each time. This incubated the idea of a process, probably outside of awareness, that functioned to perpetuate self-defeating partner selection patterns. The author was introduced to Money's `lovemap' concept during studies and identified readily with its principles and mechanisms. The lovemap is defined as a highly individualised, developed, mental template or cognitive blueprint of the ideal lover. It is assumed that every person has a lovemap, and would be able to describe it if asked the right questions. The concept promised to be a useful vehicle for studying self-defeating partner selection patterns, as `errors' might be coded into the lovemap that are expressed in such a presentation. The author identified the need to ground the lovemap concept in recognised psychological theory in order to motivate for its relevance. Kelly's theory of cognitive constructs provided robust links for lovemap as a sophisticated construction system, and the developmental theories of Freud and Erikson situated lovemap genesis within recognised periods of emerging human capacities to love and relate sexually; the stages of puberty to young adulthood. Lovemaps are assumed to function optimally when love and lust co-operate in pairbonding, or the capacity to couple. Extensive literature reviews cover the research fields of romantic love, human sexuality, and pairbonding, affording hypotheses as to lovemap pathology. A qualitative, Phenomenological research design of case studies with six adult persons, who had experienced radical contradictions of original lovemaps, identified when and how lovemap change took place. Thematic analysis of the attributions for change distilled a number of implications for therapy that would encourage certain indicated change processes. An integrative psychotherapy model recognises the cognitively- and socially constructed nature of lovemaps and proposes intervention components that blend cognitive-behavioural and narrative approaches. This model will be tested extensively with a suitable client population. / Psychology / D. Litt. ET Phil. (Psychology)
