Abstract

CAPPELLI, Tielen Franciosi  and  OLIVEIRA, Luiz Ronaldo Freitas de. Psychotherapy psychoanalytic of a child that is under guard grandma: case study. Aletheia [online]. 2015, n.47-48, pp. 91-105. ISSN 1413-0394.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the psychoanalytic psychotherapy process of a child who is under the custody of the grandmother and to identify the representation of the grandmother's role in the care of the granddaughter. The theme is justified due to the significant changes that have occurred in recent years in relation to the family settings, in which the grandparents started to play the caregiver role of the grandchildren. Ten sessions of psychotherapy with a child were analyzed, including the relationship and coexistence between grandmother and granddaughter. The results showed that the grandmother plays an important role in the granddaughter's life, providing her needs and assisting in different contexts of the girl's life. It was also noticed the importance of the preparation that the professional of the psychology needs to extend the look to the questions of the family to act and to intervene in these contexts.
