Conversaciones terapéuticas relatos de problemas y cuentos infantiles en diálogo

Abstract

This research-intervention called: Stories of problems and children's literature, a dialogue for change, seeks to understand and facilitate transformation, in scenarios therapeutic conversational sessions and privileging work based on reading stories children, of the stories of problems, initially attributed to a son, for which the Families go to therapy. We therefore propose a way of working with stories from the children's literature as a novel and effective tool that promotes and facilitates dialogue with children and their families, towards understanding and transforming problems. This work is carried out from a systemic-constructivist-constructionist-complex perspective, where we understand that problems are complex stories, built and maintained in linguistic communities, understanding these as contexts of consensual assignment of meaning to experiences. In the theoretical corpus we expose in the first domain, Stories and Narratives, the position paradigm that we adopt in which we understand that we are constructed beings consensually in language and we describe therapy as a social construction, understanding it as a privileged space for renegotiation and change of the stories of the issues. In the conceptual system we also make reference to the concept of childhood and childhood problems and we return to some pertinent aspects of developmental psychology In relation to identity construction in children, we also describe the role current, in socio-constructionist therapy, of direct work with children, evidencing a empty in this respect, except for the work of authors such as White, Freeman and Epston. Next we talk about Literature, its characteristics as a linguistic construct, supporting it as a tool for understanding and transforming human beings and the relevance, therefore, of bringing stories from children's literature to therapeutic work conversational with children and their families, when they come for problems identified in the children.
