The results of this study were made visible through the mobilization of the family system, which is related to the fact that the investigative-intervention process the mother was able to construct emerging narratives about school desertion, along with the reconstruction of the bond between a mother and her daughter from the generation of alternative understandings to the environment and the meaning of each of the members of the system and their relationship, emerging stories that have been kept over time.
