CARVALHO, Aline Luiza de  and  STENGEL, Márcia. Family and host institution in caring for incest victims. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.2, pp.426-445. ISSN 1808-4281.

Even with the current changes in its structure, roles and functions, the family still maintains its important contribution in the subjective formation of its members, although it loses its centrality. When it presents conflicting relationships, admitting the distortion of concepts and values among the group, there are even more difficulties of conviviality. In view of this, how can we evaluate the experience of incest in the representation of this group? How can we ponder the perception and changes in routines when young women who have suffered from intrafamily sexual violence leave their homes to live in an institution? And repercussions of triangulation (teen, family and institution)? We sought, therefore, to bring this reality, common to victims of violence, in order to understand the bond established between these three representations. It was observed that the institutional reception situation removes them from the history already constituted and places them in another place, for them insecure and uncertain, where they are forced to leave suspended the life and previous relations, to live with people not known until the solution of the case. There were difficulties in maintaining the old ones and establishing new relationships, considering the weakening of ties since the family separation, the difficulties of institutional identification and the establishment of continuous references.
