Abstract

CABRAL, Daniel Welton Arruda  and  SALES, Camila Maria Del Carlos Pinheiro. Contributions and implications of the dialogical perspective: the therapist’s self in the family/couple therapy. Nova perspect. sist. [online]. 2019, vol.28, n.63, pp. 21-41. ISSN 0104-7841.  http://dx.doi.org/10.21452/2594-43632019v28n63a01.

The dialogical perspective regarding family therapy invites us to see another angle that therapeutic practice may assume, especially when we consider the therapist’s participation in the process of change. In this article, in which the method adopted was a narrative bibliographic review, of exploratory nature and qualitative approach, we went briefly over the scientific literature of authors who have discussed some of the main concepts that inspire the dialogical approach, contributing to make us reflect more diligently about the changing positions we take when heading into the complexity of the therapeutic meeting with families/couples. There is much to investigate about the dialogical concepts in this context, and there are family therapists who have been analyzing dialogical aspects in their respective field of work, proposing the later recording of the therapist's inner conversation to foster the understanding of the therapeutic experience and to foment the research in family psychotherapy in a dialogical approach. We conclude that this perspective, influenced by the deconstructive postmodern thinking, helps amplifying some of the recurring concepts of the current generation of family therapy, making them less idealized in clinical practice and, therefore, more useful to our understanding about the complexity of working with families/couples.
