Abstract.Metaphors are a useful resource not only to influence family relationships but to achieve positive changes in parenting behavior. Family intervention is essential in all forms of intervention, to the point that if there are no changes in family systems, it will be very difficult for a counselor or an educational psychologist to have positive effect on children and adolescents. The family often contributes not only in maintaining the problems alive, but also in generating them. Adults immersed in a negatively balanced family system generally also show defensive behaviors induced by emotional distress or unconscious personal insecurity. The use of the metaphor involves the transmission of symbols or anchors, which can serve as an effective tool to control this type of behavior, and is crucial to successful intervention. In this paper, practical examples of different metaphors for parents and their objective in therapy will be presented.Keywords: family intervention, psychology intervention , family relationships, metaphorResumen.En este artículo presentamos la metáfora como un recurso de gran utilidad para incidir tanto en las relaciones familiares como para conseguir cambios de conductas inadecuadas y preocupantes en padres. La intervención familiar es imprescindible en toda intervención psicopedagógica hasta el punto de que si no se producen cambios en los sistemas familiares en los que predominan relaciones sustentadas por equilibrios negativos, es muy difícil que un orientador o un psicólogo educativo pueda contribuir a que se produzcan cambios de conductas problemáticas de menores, adolescentes y/o jóvenes. La familia puede estar contribuyendo no sólo a mantener la problemática sino también a generarla. Los adultos inmersos en un sistema familiar equilibrado negativamente, en general, muestran también conductas defensivas provocadas por un malestar o inseguridad personal inconsciente. El uso de la metáfora que comporta la transmisión de símbolos o anclas que pueden servir de control eficaz para este tipo de conductas es básico y necesario para obtener éxito en la intervención. Es por ello que en el presente artículo se presentan ejemplos prácticos de diferentes metáforas aplicadas en sesiones a padres exponiendo también el objetivo que se pretende conseguir con las mismas.Palabras clave: intervención familiar, intervención psicopedagógica, relaciones familiares, metáfora

Currently, there is a global trend towards an increase in the incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM 1) among children and adolescents. It is characterized by a lifelong progressive course, manifested by endocrine and somatic disorders, as well as neurological and mental complications. The risk of the development of emotional disorders, cognitive dysfunction, adjustment disorder is largely determined by the microsocial environment of a child with DM 1. Objective — to study role of family in the formation of the disorders inmental and psychological health of children and adolescents with severe DM 1. Materials and methods. Examinations involved 285 patients with DM 1(126 children and 159 adolescents). The investigation design included clinical and psychopathological method, pathopsychological method, socio­psychological interviewing of a child and his/her family, test “Family sociogram”, projective picture tests “House­tree­man”, “Me and my disease”, “Kinetic picture of the family”. Results. It has been established that the level of psychological health of family of a child with DM 1 corresponded to the normal indicator in 20 % of cases. The factors have been determined that destabilize psychological health of the family, typology of family relationships with a sick child and their role in the formation of persistent neuropsychiatric complications. The factors of the microsocial environment affecting the formation of socio­psychological maladjustment of a child with DM were determined. The following risk factors of the formation of mental and neurological disorders in DM 1 children have been identified: the age of endocrine disease (DM)onset less than 7 years, the disease duration ≥ 5 years, frequent fluctuations in of glycemialevel, unsatisfactory self-control of the disease, late diagnosis of early and late complications related to the central nervous system, insufficient compliance, pathological types of family sociogram. An alternative method for diagnosing psychological problems in children and adolescents with diabetes ­ the use of projective methods has shown a high information content of target detection for the correction of emotional and behavioral disorders in the conditions of system «Life with diabetes».Conclusions. Socio-psychological patterns of maladaptation of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitushave been identified, which is important for determining the strategy of therapeutic intervention, socio-psychological support and prevention of social handicap.

ABSTRACT Drugs abuse is a complex phenomenon with many causes, and it affects children and adolescents. The objective of this research was to seek scientific evidence that contributes to the understanding of the existing relation between the use of crack and other drugs by children and adolescents and the family. The method used was the integrative review. The bases analyzed were: MEDLINE, LILACS, Cochrane, BDENF and IBECS. Descriptors: cocaine, crack, family and family relationships. Three categories were evidenced: Family environment as a protector and/or facilitator for the use of crack and other drugs by children and adolescents; Lack of knowledge and the repercussions of the use of crack and other drugs by children and adolescents in the family environment; Networks to support the family and coping with the use of crack and other drugs. The family environment has a protective function against the use of drugs, but the issue of drugs has to be faced and addressed. It is also necessary to strengthen the social networks and discuss prevention themes.

This paper applies the family lifecourse perspective to the lives of rural older women in the Midwestern United States based on the findings of the Rural Older Women’s Project, an ethnographic study of the daily lives and systems of support of 30 women. The focus is on the relationships with children, grandchildren, and parents if they are still living, of rural older women in central Minnesota. Three case studies are used to demonstrate the full range of circumstances. From those who are still actively providing support and assistance to their own parents, children, and grandchildren, to those who are primarily the recipients of care and support, to those who are unable to receive the necessary assistance from their family system. These variations are significant in terms of the ways in which each of them face the increasing needs which often come with ageing.

IntroductionRoma attribute a great value at the family life. For them the family is the basic axis around which their community structures and their personal relationships are developed.AimThe present study aimed to evaluate the family relationships, the personal growth and the family system maintenance in male and female Roma.Materials and methods145 individuals (105 male and 89 female), residents of the general area of Greece, participated in the present study. The measures used were: a) The Family Environment Scale (Form R-FES) and b) A questionnaire concerning socio-demographic information.ResultsThe mean age of men was 35.31 ± 11.21 years old, while the mean age of women was 32.43 ± 11.70 years old. According to the findings, the men scored higher in certain factors which were studied. In particular, they reported significantly greater Achievement Orientation (P=.000), Moral-Religious Emphasis (P = .000), Family Control (P = .000), Family Organization (P=.016) and Family Incongruence Score (P=.011).ConclusionsMale Roma hold a special place in the Roma family, whereas the female's Roma place in the society of Roma in Greece is underestimated. Based on the measures used in the present study, the male Roma are characterised by greater ethics, religiousness, tendency to achieve their goals and generally to do things. Also, the male Roma seem to have a greater control over the family, in comparison to the female Roma.

Family Based

This article addresses conceptual challenges and theoretical approaches for examining the role of the family in responding and adapting to genetic testing for inherited conditions. Using a family systems perspective, family-based constructs that are relevant to genetic testing may be organized into three domains: family communication, organization and structure of family relationships, and health-related cognitions and beliefs shared within families. Empirical findings are presented from key content areas in family-based genetics research, including family communication, how genetic testing affects family relationships, psychological responses to genetic testing in the family context, and family-based influences on health decisions. Future research should explore decision making about genetic testing or behavior change specifically within the context of the family system and should identify family-based determinants of genetic testing outcomes.

Gender Based

Within the causes of family relationships both males and females maintain specific tasks and positions based on the gender perspectives since the historic epoch in Sri Lanka. According to sociologists, the tasks are merely divided on gender based decisions. Child births, socialization, fulfill husbands’’ needs, and manage the economy with series of other vigorous activities of the family unit to be fulfilled by the married woman. In this context family disputes were unavoidable when challenges occurred due to ineffective control of family matters. Owing to changes occurred in the society transformation of the role and tasks of women too, were happened resulting that women represent comparatively to the men in the current labour market. The continuation of uninterrupted family system within the said composition is still a task coming under the purview of women. Married women are accustomed to perform the tasks within the family units while accomplishing the status of male-female gender aspirations. Women who are enduring penalties being imprisoners in contradictory to their bestowed tasks and status based on the gender related matters at domestic level, this study attempts to emphasize the causes affected them to be guilty on some offenses and also to analyze whether influences were there or not from their husbands, if so, in what nature and which form of influences was the problem to be determined through this research. Accordingly, 63 married women prisoners were selected from different age categories and from mixed religious backgrounds. The research was launched through discussions, using questionnaire, observations, and case studies and via focused group discussions, too. The investigations revealed that 79.66% of informants were in the opinion that main cause behind their offensiveness was the muddles involved by their husbands. It was also disclosed that husbands’ direct involvement on drug related actions, abusing women, murder, theft and burglary were candidly affected them to face the current situation. The research findings endorsed the need of mandatory as well as socially adapted amendments targeted on the family system which could endorse an intelligible community that ensures healthy relationship between husband and wife and within the family units.

They are discussed in detail with their impact on family relationships. The main functions of the family were recalled, as they gave the structure for the analysis of narrative tests. A lot of attention was paid to the description of the impact of depression on the life of the whole family, including marriage, contact with children, social contacts, changes in the family's activity and material situation, as well as emotional reactions of family members.

We sought, in this investigation, to understand the family dynamics in the view of parents and children involved in Domestic Violence against children and adolescents institutionalized in the Center of Assistance to the Victimized Child and Adolescent (CACAV), in Ribeirão Preto-SP, Brazil. This is a qualitative study with semi-structured interviews applied to parents and children from six families involved in domestic violence. The data were analyzed through content analysis. Ecology of human development was used as theoretical reference. Domestic violence was reported, though it is understood as common practice for the families. We identified that the parents' view favors the denial of the violence perpetrated. The children, on the other hand, point that love ties and affection are more significant for their development than blood relations. We believe that the knowledge acquired as how violence is experienced, can contribute with intervention strategies capable of breaking the perverse cycle of violent family relationships.
