The patient, through the sessions, reports that he grew up in a violent environment and in several occasions he witnessed aggressions committed by his parents. In his childhood, he described the mother as invasive although it provided fear and intense inhibition, felt controlled and submissive to avoid punishment. In his adolescence the patient describes episodes of sexual abuse committed by his mother, and affirms that these experiences were ambivalence causing conflicts in his sexuality. Thus, the importance of investigating the impact caused by situations of abuse committed within the family context, emphasis on the intrusive and violent relationship between mother and child, considering the multiple violations suffered by the patient / O presente trabalho, esta inserido no campo de estudo da Psicopatologia Fundamental, e tem como base a narrativa de um atendimento clínico. No decorrer das sessões, o paciente descreve um ambiente violento, em que por diversas vezes assistiu agressões entre os membros de sua família. Durante a infância sua mãe era invasiva, e os cuidados por ela ofertados geravam medo e uma intensa inibição, sentia-se vigiado e atendia as solicitações maternas para evitar punições. Na adolescência o paciente foi alvo de abusos sexuais cometidos por sua mãe, e afirma que estas experiências ocasionaram conflitos em relação a sua sexualidade e repercutem na maneira com que ele se relaciona com as demais pessoas. Por isso, a importância de investigar o impacto causado por episódios de abuso em âmbito familiar, articulado a relação intrusiva e violenta que se estabeleceu entre mãe e filho, considerando as múltiplas violações por ela cometidas em relação ao paciente

Online adolescent friendships and social networking among adolescents are current phenomena that have emerged, and exploded, as part of the digital age and the vast development of communication technologies. The primary aim of this study was to gain knowledge and understanding regarding the nature and quality of online friendships and social networking among adolescents. A sequential explanatory mixed method design, was put to use for the purpose of this study. The quantitative data was collected first in the form of a short survey, by utilising a self-developed questionnaire to obtain a general overview of the social network practices and the forming and maintaining of online friendships among adolescents. Twenty five participants took part in the survey. This study was followed by a qualitative study in the form of interviews, to clarify, elaborate and explain the quantitative findings. Five information rich participants were interviewed. The findings of the empirical investigation revealed that adolescents, being part of the Net Generation, base their concept of socialising with friends on digital and communication technology, especially cell phones. They are connected to their friends 24 hours a day. The sense of safety and support they experience through this constant connectedness strengthens their self-esteem, self-confidence and self-worth and contributes to their identity formation. It is therefore recommended that parents and educators should accept that adolescents live in a virtual world and their new way of socialising, needs to be acknowledged. Parents and educators should adjust accordingly, by getting educated in this field themselves. The Net Generation is a generation who focuses on relationships and collaboration through technology and this should be exploited by anybody who has contact or interacts with the adolescent of today. / Psychology of Education / M.
