Abstract

"The guri is too long": impacts of domestic violence on the mother-child dyad. Estud. psicanal. [online]. 2021, n.55, pp.247-253. ISSN 0100-3437.

This article aims to discuss a clinical case of the mother-child dyad, from the understanding of the implications of the transgenerational and the current coexistence with domestic violence. The methodology followed the presuppositions of the case study in psychoanalysis, with interviews and observations of the behaviour of care between a mother and her child and the handling of transference. The sessions were transcribed in a table and, later, the content clippings were made according to the objective of the study. It was possible to identify, from the reports and the mother-child interaction, transgenerational aspects of violence, considering the mother's history and aspects related to the absence of the father figure. Both factors, associated with current domestic violence, were implicated in the impossibility of offering the child a favourable environment for their emotional development. As final considerations, this study suggests that it is possible to adopt intervention methodologies in the mother-child dyad from qualified listening in services, allowing the entry of a third element that can support the mother-child dyad in the context of domestic violence.

Keywords : Psychoanalysis; Domestic violence; mother-child bond.
