RESEARCH GROUPS

A migrating Couple and a family without a fixed home

Our research group is multicultural integrated by colleagues from different cities and countries from Europe and America: Montevideo (Uruguay), Ushuia (Argentina), Rome (Italy), Lyon and París (France), Libon (Portugal), and Panama (Panama).  The interchanges have been done by Skype and e-mail, and the Coordinators Synthelize the ideas.  During the two year we have studied two clinical cases: one couple therapy and one family diagnostic.   The couple therapy (in Ushuaia) refers to a situation of migration where the intrapsychic transgenerational problems, with particularities of a social context extremely mobile, with no roots and very few representations.

The family material (from Montevideo) refers to a family group with important concrete needs loaded with confusional primitive anguishes.  To attend them from a psychoanalytic perspective was a great challenge.  Mainly because we come from different trainings in psychoanalysis of the link.  The material presented has risen technical and theoretical questioning that is articulated on the anthropological-social-psychoanalytic axis.  We ask ourselves if our heterogeneity, instead of being an obstacle, can result as a different instrument to think, that facilitates the approach to different scenarios and to refine the different ways of working.
