Exploración de los procesos psíquicos de la relacion madre hijo luego de luego de un embarazo ectópico

Abstract

This research seeks to understand the psychological processes that occur in the mother-child relationship following an ectopic pregnancy, from a psychoanalytic perspective. This phenomenon, in addition to its physical risks, produces an emotional and subjective impact on the woman, on motherhood, and on the formation of the bond with her child after an ectopic pregnancy. This research addresses categories such as maternal function, object relations, and the body, understanding pregnancy as a biological and psychological event shaped by desire and unconscious representations of the body. It is framed within the interpretive paradigm and phenomenological-hermeneutic epistemology, which allows for an understanding of reality and an exploration of the meanings the mother attributes to her experience. The study is conducted through an in-depth interview with a woman residing in Villavicencio who experienced an ectopic pregnancy and subsequently had a child. The results contribute to the understanding of the psychological processes of ectopic pregnancy within object relations.
