UMA VISÃO SISTÊMICA SOBRE O ATENDIMENTO DE FAMÍLIAS DE MEMBROS COM TRANSTORNO MENTAL: REVISÃO DE LITERATURA

Abstract

This study aimed to understand how systemic therapy can favor the functioning of the family system that has a member diagnosed with a mental disorder based on the understanding of the phenomenon as a repetition of family interaction patterns in an intergenerational dimension. This is an integrative review study comprised of five stages: (1) elaboration of the guiding question; (2) literature search through access to the CAPES, Pepsic, SciELO and Google Scholar Journal Portals; (3) data collection; (4) critical analysis of the content; and (5) discussion of the results. To survey the articles in the literature, a search was conducted through access to the CAPES, Pepsic, SciELO and Google Scholar Journal Portals. Ten articles were included in the review. From the analysis of the reviewed studies, the importance of systemic therapy intervention practices became evident, since from a survey of repetitive patterns, the understanding of which family relational process favors repetition and what implications the repetition of some behavioral patterns has on the functioning of family dynamics, the family therapist contributes to promoting the strengthening of family bonds, breaking dysfunctional relational patterns, as well as in the work of redefining family members' perceptions of the disorder.
