LEWKOWICZ, Alice et al. Social bonds of support: Focusing on Parenthood. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2018, vol.52, n.4, pp.119-128. ISSN 0486-641X.
The authors and psychoanalysts present the work they developed in Porto Alegre with educators, adolescents, and their parents. This work was based in the authors' group experiences with “circle of conversation”. In this article, they emphasize the importance of classical concepts of Psychoanalysis. The authors deal with bonds of support that exist in the relationships between those who live in vulnerable communities. Based on the theoretical contribution of contemporary authors, the authors of this article propose the extension of the notion of parenthood in its protecting function, from the conventional nuclear family towards other ways of community organization, which can exercise the family function. The authors bring two group experiences of the partnership in order to illustrate the family effect of other sources.
Keywords : Psychoanalysis; community; child education; circle of conversation; family function.
