Abstract

EIGUER, A et al. The concepts underlying the work of psychoanalyst 's couple and family Preliminary: Study of quantitative analysis on the content of a survey. Subj. procesos cogn. [online]. 2014, vol.18, n.1, pp.71-103. ISSN 1852-7310.

The author's purpose in the present paper is to explore core psychoanalytic concepts that lend support to clinical practice for the members of the International Association of Psychoanalysis of Couple and Family (AIPPF). To achieve this goal the authors have developed a tool that allows to collect information (self-administered questionnaire), briefly presented. The questionnaire requests each member to sort out important concepts in the five following areas: individual psychoanalysis, intersubjective psychoanalysis, group psychoanalysis, family psychoanalysis, couple psychoanalysis, as well as to outline these concepts on three levels: theory, clinic, practice and technique. The sample obtained corresponds to 22 responses which the authors discuss and analyze in detail. In their conclusions, the authors draw attention to the fact that different theoretical orientations are present in couple and family therapy and that the responses to the questionnaire were pondered and on occasion are original and manifest current notions. It can also be observed that current change in family configurations has marked the standpoint concerning certain clinical aspects and links. The authors conclude by highlighting the value of this work to develop new research on more specific aspects, among which several subjected to a more refined approach in recent studies in the institution are mentioned.
