Mudanças ocorreram na composição familiar, surgindo as famílias homoparentais, ou seja, casais de pessoas de mesmo sexo que criam filhos. Diante dessa nova realidade cada vez mais visível, tornam-se necessárias a revisão e reconsideração dos conceitos de maternidade e paternidade. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho visa o estudo da homoparentalidade, examinando de que forma os papéis e funções parentais vêm sendo partilhados e regulados pelos membros do casal de pessoas de mesmo sexo que criam filhos. Para tal, foi utilizado o referencial teórico da Psicanálise em Freud e Lacan. Além disso, buscou-se aporte em estudos socioantropológicos da sexualidade, a partir da articulação teórica dos conceitos de homossexualidade, família tradicional e homoparental, função materna e paterna do ponto de vista psicanalítico e sua diferença em relação aos papéis (sociais) parentais. Papel e função parental foram as categorias eleitas para análise de fragmentos de discursos de homossexuais com filhos, colhidos em um estudo socioantropológico / Changes have occurred in household composition, the emerging same-sex families, or same-sex couples raising children. Given this new reality increasingly visible, become necessary to review and reconsideration of concepts of motherhood and fatherhood. Thus, this research aims at studying the homoparenthood, examining how parental roles and functions are being shared and regulated by the members of the pair of same-sex couples raising children. To this end, we used the theoretical framework of psychoanalysis in Freud and Lacan. In addition, we sought input from socioanthropological studies on sexuality, from the theoretical articulation of the concepts of homosexuality, traditional and homoparental family, maternal and paternal functions of the psychoanalytic point of view and its difference in relation to the roles (social) parents. Parental role and function categories were chosen for analysis of fragments of speeches by homosexual persons with children, gathered in a socio-anthropological study

The problem of this study was that parental perceptions of the roles and needs related to their children's reading development had not been successfully investigated. The primary purpose of this investigation was to determine parental perceptions of their roles, influence, and skills most needed to assist them relating to their children's reading development; the information sources on which parental beliefs about their role are founded; factors foreseen by parents that might hinder their involvement in that role; parents' preferred mode of receiving desired information relative to their assistance in their children's reading development; and existing variations in parental perceptions.

A call for parents to be involved in the education of their children is not a modern phenomenon at all. It is increasingly a call which invites parents to be involved in every sphere of their children‟s lives, including their health. Children of South Africa, like many other children in Africa, are engulfed with health issues. These problems range from drug abuse, teenage pregnancy, obesity, violence, suicide, alcohol, etc. Therefore, it is crucial to engage parents in an effort to promote the health of their children in school and together with schools. Various parental roles were established during the early part of the century when parents were obliged to raise their children according to the set standard. As time went by, schools clearly drew a line to distinguish their role from parents‟ roles. Later on a need for parental involvement in schools arose again and a call for parents to attend to their obligations was a necessity, although parents were seen as problems by teachers. This allowed a space for barriers to grow between parents and teachers to such an extent that there was no collaboration in addressing problems affecting children in schools. To investigate the issue of parental roles and health promotion in schools thoroughly, qualitative measures were applied. The analysis indicated that there is indeed a great need for parents to be involved in promoting the health of their children in schools. However, a lack of knowledge amongst parents and a lack of skills to work with parents amongst teachers hamper the possibility of preventing most of the health issues affecting many children of South Africa. Indeed parental participation in schools and health promoting schools can yield positive results not only for the children, but for the schools and parents as well. Therefore, the government must employ practical strategies to involve parents in promoting the health of children in schools. / Thesis (M.Ed.)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2011

No. of bitstreams: 1 Thiago Jurado.pdf: 1551172 bytes, checksum: 5676c40f70a0bbf3ea2091d44f8b2a75 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-02-20 / Profound changes have occurred in the familiar composition, forming then, new family configurations, but none of these news models is so controversial like the homoparental model. In our country this new model has caused prejudices and questions about the ability to provide a family beyond the traditional standards and be able to develop healthy people. This work aims to investigate the collective imagination of the Psychology students about the gay parenting, since Homoparenthood challenges the psychologist whose theoretical and methodological assumptions has proved inadequate to meet the demands of contemporary parenting. We emphasize the relevance of research about the imaginary, because it guides social and professional behaviors, creation of the public policies and laws for the society in general. The use of Interactive Narratives, inserted in a psychoanalytic and qualitative research proposal, aims to restore the dialogue on research, inviting participants to complete a short fictional story previously prepared by researcher. This proceeding is intended to facilitate the associative movement of these participants and identifies the fields of affective-emotional meaning that are the laws governing the production of them. The four fields of meaning fund communicate affective-emocional prejudice against homosexuals and their supposed healing through love, the issue of normalization of the conduct and your perverse effect on clinical, the desire to have children in contemporary times and the role of psychologists meet the demands of happiness and rapid relief of suffering. We hope that this study contributes to a social debate about the Homoparenthood and also the homosexual issue which is implicit and resumes the problem of prejudice in our society. / Profundas transforma??es ocorreram na composi??o familiar, dando origem a novas configura??es familiares, por?m nenhum dos novos modelos ? t?o controverso quanto o modelo homoparental. Em nosso pa?s esse novo arranjo tem suscitado preconceito e questionamentos sobre a capacidade de uma fam?lia se constituir fora dos padr?es tradicionais e ainda assim ser capaz de criar indiv?duos saud?veis. Este trabalho tem como objetivo investigar o imagin?rio coletivo de estudantes de Psicologia a respeito da parentalidade homossexual, uma vez que a homoparentalidade desafia o psic?logo cujos pressupostos te?rico-metodol?gicos tem se mostrado inadequados para atender as demandas da parentalidade contempor?nea. Enfatizamos a relev?ncia das pesquisas sobre o imagin?rio, uma vez que este orienta condutas sociais, profissionais, pol?ticas p?blicas e leis para a sociedade em geral. O uso das Narrativas Interativas pretende dentro desta proposta de pesquisa qualitativa de orienta??o psicanal?tica restaurar o di?logo na pesquisa, convidando os participantes para que completem uma pequena hist?ria fict?cia previamente preparada pelo pesquisador. Esse procedimento visa facilitar o movimento associativo dos participantes, a partir do qual s?o identificados campos de sentido afetivo-emocional que organizam as produ??es narrativas, a partir da interlocu??o entre o pesquisador, seu grupo de pesquisa e a literatura cient?fica consultada. Os quatro campos de sentido afetivo-emocional encontrados comunicam o preconceito contra o homossexual e sua suposta cura pelo amor, a quest?o da normatiza??o das condutas e seu efeito perverso na cl?nica, o desejo de ter filhos em tempos que pouco tempo temos para eles, al?m do papel do psic?logo frente ?s demandas de felicidade e al?vio r?pido do sofrimento. Esperamos ainda que este estudo contribua para o debate social sobre a homoparentalidade, al?m da quest?o homossexual que lhe ? impl?cita e retoma o problema do preconceito em nossa sociedade.

[pt] A presente tese tem como tema a agressividade da criança na contemporaneidade. Em um primeiro momento estudou-se como Winnicott conceitua e entende a agressividade. A partir deste aporte teórico, estudou-se o que Winnicott denomina de tendência anti-social e quais desdobramentos esse conceito traria para o entendimento da agressividade da criança na contemporaneidade. Em um terceiro momento, articulando o olhar winnicottiano e o cenário contemporâneo, estudou-se quais os aspectos contextuais que atualmente acarretam o aumento de comportamentos anti- sociais. A falência dos papéis parentais e o eclipse da infância são os aspectos apontados por esta tese. Postula- se que os comportamentos anti-sociais são estratégias de sobrevivência dessas crianças em um mundo com regras e limites fluidos. Defende-se que os atos anti-sociais são expressão da falência do pacto social, sendo estes, principalmente, uma tentativa de comunicação em um cenário de incomunicabilidade. / [en] The present thesis examines child aggressiveness in contemporary society. Starting with Winnicott s conceptualization of aggression, it investigates a specific concept, the anti-social tendencies, and how it can be useful in our understanding about the children aggressiveness. This thesis investigates also some contextual aspects of contemporary society responsible for today s increase in antisocial behavior. Decline of parental roles and childhood eclipse are signed as some of these aspects. It is assumed that children s anti-social behaviors constitute survival strategies in a world with moving boundaries and unstable rules. The thesis argues that anti-social acts manifest a failure of the social pact, which in turn results in a failure of the primordial Oedipal pact. It also argues that antisocial acts are a communication in an incommunicable world.

The portrayals of mothers and fathers in children's literature as companions, disciplinarians, caregivers, nurturers, and providers were documented in this research. The impact of time of publication, sex of author, award-winning status of book, best-selling status of book, race of characters, and sex of characters upon each of the five parental roles was assessed using descriptive statistics, cross-tabulation, and multinomial logistic regression techniques. A survey instrument developed for this study was completed for each of the 300 books randomly selected from the list of easy/picture books in the Children's Catalog (H.W. Wilson Company, 2001). To ensure all time periods were represented, the list was stratified by decades before sampling. It was expected that parental role portrayals would become more egalitarian and less traditional in each successive time period of publication. Male authors were expected to portray more egalitarian parental roles, and the race and sex of the young characters were not expected to influence parental portrayals. Award-winning books were expected to represent more egalitarian parental roles. Books that achieved the Publisher's Weekly all-time best-selling status were expected to portray parents in less egalitarian roles. Secondary analyses explored the prevalence of mothers' occupations, parental incompetence, and dangerous, solo child adventures. While the time of publication affected role portrayals, the evidence was unclear as to whether the changing roles represented greater egalitarianism. The race and the sex of the young characters significantly affected parental role portrayals, but the sex of the author did not influence these portrayals. While award winning and bestselling texts portrayed parents differently than books that did not achieve such honors, most did not provide enough information to adequately assess parenting roles. Half of the mothers who worked in the texts worked in conjunction with their husbands rather than independent of them. Over 10 % of mothers and fathers acted incompetently. The time of publication and the sex of the author was associated with the prevalence of solo, dangerous, child adventures. Subsequent implications and recommendations suggest the inclusion of stronger parental characters in children's books. Many of the parents are portrayed as inactive, incompetent, or neglectful. The concern is that children are exposed to these picture book portrayals during the primary years of identity acquisition.

The problem of this study was a comparison of the roles and needs of middle and lower class Thai parents in helping their children's reading development. The sample was selected from the parents of the preprimary schools in Bangkok, Thailand, in the fall of 1986. A total of 366 parents, including 185 from middle class and 181 from lower class, participated in this study.
