SCAPINII, Amanda Isabela Nórcio  and  IVANIA JANN, LunaI. Changes in the forms of communication throughout the systemic approach therapy: a case study. Est. Inter. Psicol. [online]. 2019, vol.10, n.2, pp. 210-225. ISSN 2236-6407.

Abstract This article aims to explore changes in the communication of a young adult and their impacts on individual and family context, by using the systemic therapy approach. A clinical case study was conducted for nine months to this end. This paper is composed of the family history, the complaints and demands, and the therapeutic strategies used to develop the patient’s communicative aspects and his relationship with the family. The results are discussed based on the Human Communication Pragmatics Model and the dimensions of communication between parents and children. We concluded that the resources of the systemic approach psychotherapy contributed to the consolidation of changes in communication forms, and had repercussions on both the social, psychological and relational development of the young adult, as well as on the family dynamics.

Keywords : family therapy; communication theory; young adults.
