MARQUE, Cristiane Reberte de  and  GOMES, Isabel Cristina. The change of therapeutical setting as a facilitator model to promote the stability of the link in the face of the modifications of the familiar context. Rev. SPAGESP [online]. 2006, vol.7, n.2, pp. 11-17. ISSN 1677-2970.

In this study we highlight the possibility of a child to transit in different family contexts, instead of staying with the original family. When we propose psychotherapeutic treatment in these conditions, we face challenges that are beyond the work with subjectivity, including questions on the best consulting model, specially about the therapeutic setting to be used. We aim to discuss the maintenance of the therapeutic link against environmental changes. We present the case of a child in psychotherapeutic process, in which the changes in the family structure demanded changes in the psychotherapeutic setting. This changes enabled the stability and continuity of the therapeutic link, helping the patient experience external instability with less stress and greater emotional gain. The establishment of a solid psychic setting guaranteed the continuation of the work and favored the emotional development. We were based on Winnicott´s referential, where the handling of the setting is important to create a holding environment, from which a potential space can be conceived. We consider this perspective important to elaborate interventional proposals in community and preventive clinical psychology.
