The journey is the thing: A photographic project on the complex dynamics of self-representation in the context of psychoanalytic family theory

This visual essay narrates three parallel bodies of photographic work, which negotiate the role of context, displacement and geocultural relocation as metaphors for self-definition. The conceptual framework of the work is underpinned by the psychoanalytic theories of Murray Bowen and Morgan Scott, which locate self-perception at the centre of the familial context and define the quest for self-definition as a symbolic process of map-making. This approach describes a psychological landscape where the fluid relationship between collective and personal identity is conveyed through the metaphor of ‘Mal de Débarquement’ (a diagnosable condition that means nausea of disembarkation). This kind of embedded fluidity in self-representation insinuates a new approach to the practice and possibilities of photographic portraiture, and challenges the traditional definition, which associates the portrait with the depiction of a fixed identity.

Effects of Family Financial Management on Marital Stability of Persons in Lanet/Umoja Ward in Nakuru-North Sub-County, Nakuru County

This study investigated the effects of Family financial management on marital stability of married persons in Lanet/ Umoja Ward in Nakuru-North Sub-County, Nakuru County. The study used the theories of Functioning Family Systems mainly by Murray Bowen, which focuses on patterns that develop in families in order to defuse anxiety. A target population of 498 married persons was randomly selected featuring those who have been in marriage for ten years or less. A smaller sample of 50 married persons (representing 10%) was randomly extracted. Descriptive statistics were used to describe how the dependent variable related to the independent variables in terms of percentages. The study indicated that management of family finances significantly affected marital stability. This is because some married persons dedicate most of their time in pursuit of wealth and in the process, literally forget their families. They seek to invest for their family at the expense of investing in their families. The study recommends that spouses intending to get married should undertake premarital counseling regarding financial management to guarantee marital stability.

The Genogram in Helping Relationship

The Genogram is a graphical tool used by family therapists to systematize the chronologically and the composition of the family in question and parental relationships within it. The family therapist draws the genogram of the family and analyzing it as a team, draws on assumptions and dysfunctional aspects of strategic solutions that will then occur in session. The Genogram certainly draws from the idea of genealogical tree, but its attribution of authorship is clearly not shared. According to Anne A. Shutzenberger [1], for some it is traced back to Genososciogramma Henry Collomb, from genealogy (family tree) and Sociogram (representation of links and relationships), which he developed in Dakar and exhibited in Nice in 1978, starting from the reflections JL Moreno; for others it is traced back to Murray Bowen (referring to the conference on family therapy in 1967) and then to the conceptualization of the Group of Palo Alto [2] in California. In fact, for both processing paths of the genogram, distances seem shorter epistemological finding themselves in a ring of union in Frieda Fromm-Reichman, the first researcher who started filming family sessions with schizophrenic patients in 1948, and that in 1956 has worked with Moreno in Stanford [3] writing a book with him for four hands [4], with which the Group of Palo Alto [5], marking the birth of the Family Therapy. In truth, says still Shutzenberger, the genesis of Genogram seems to be rooted in the oldest soils, contains itself the concepts of "das Umbewusste" and "Collective Psyche" by S. Freud, and of "collective unconscious" of CG Jung.
