Co-evolución narrativa y auto-eco-organización de una familia con un niño de 13 años que afrontó la muerte de un padre

Abstract

This second-order qualitative research / intervention process from the complex systemic constructionist approach was carried out within the framework of the Project "Histories and Narratives of Human Systems in Diversity of Contexts" of the Master in Clinical Psychology and in the research line " Psychology, Human Systems and Mental Health "of the Santo Tomás University. The objective was to understand the self-eco-organizational and co-evolution processes of a family with a 13-year-old child in the face of a death experience of a father. A psychotherapeutic process of 6 meetings was carried out in the Psychological Attention Services of the Santo Tomás University, which were transcribed and analyzed through the Atlas Ti with the methodological categories of death-life experience, narrative co-evolution and multitemporality. The general results reflect that the experience of death signified from the trauma reveals the rigidity of the family system's narrative before the change, generating a crystallization of the narrative plot, being the depressive symptom of the child after 10 years of death an opportunity for change. Therefore, the intervention was focused on integrating the story of deceased father and child from narrative therapy, rituals and play, generating new stories of co-evolution. It is understood that the grieving process does not obey the chronological times, but responds to the times of experience and current co-evolutionary needs of the family system, in this case, to resolve the dilemma between autonomy and links Affective in the family.
