Psicoterapia Familiar: Formação do Psicoterapeuta em Psicanálise

Abstract

This paper aims to present family psychotherapy and the existing theoretical and practical shortage in Brazil, highlighting the challenges of family psychotherapist training and practice. Family therapy seeks to analyze how family dynamics in crisis can interfere with child development, which pathologies could be related to conflictual intrafamily bonds, how resistance occurs during joint psychotherapy, and what resources and techniques family therapists should have to work in this field. A narrative review was conducted without systematic criteria for theoretical development, and subsequently, a qualitative method was used to investigate family therapist training, analyzing pedagogical projects in Psychology programs at Federal Universities in Mato Grosso do Sul. A deficit in the training of psychologists regarding this topic was observed. Thus, we conclude that enriching professional practice is important, beginning with the inclusion of courses in the curriculum of Psychology programs, promoting theoretical and technical enrichment in the training of professionals for this field.
