Procesos de cambio y transformación en las narrativas del duelo por Covid-19 desde la voz de una terapeuta - Un abordaje sistémico

Abstract

Since contemporary times, the human being turns to psychology professionals and gets involved in therapeutic contexts to find alternatives that generate well-being, therefore, in the XXI century in the context of pandemic and post-pandemic, it is to be expected that the bereaved go to therapeutic processes for reasons of consultation associated with Covid-19 bereavement. Therefore, the objective of this research is to understand the processes of change and transformation in the narratives of grief due to Covid-19 based on the interventional strategies of the systemic approach, from the voice of a therapist. For the development of this research, Edgar Morin's complexity paradigm is considered and Gergen's social constructionism, Bertalanffy's general theory of systems and White's narrative school as epistemological framework, according to the qualitative methodological design and the research question. Likewise, it is highlighted that the strategies/techniques used for the development of the research were a semi-structured interview and a focus group with a therapist of the master’s degree in Clinical and Family Psychology of the Universidad Santo Tomás, both strategies used are supported with two instruments (scripts and tables) that provided the information for the matrices and, therefore, the writing of results. The results obtained indicate that, when understanding change and transformation in the clinical context, these two processes are linked to each other, since change is presented together with transformation, generating an important impact on the experience of grief by taking up one's own tools and building others, focusing on the personal meanings of the loss, the approach to emotions, the life project and support networks, and even the relationship networks could be expanded by including a person within the psychological process capable of contributing to the bereaved in the resignification of the loss. From the systemic approach, self-reference allows the therapist to identify him/herself in reference to the reason for consultation and to build a meaningful therapeutic relationship where changes andtransformations are generative for each of the participants in the process.
