Resumo: |
This qualitative research had the purpose to understand, from the Systemic Psychology standpoint, the way parents whose children are in transition into adult life perceive and deal with the changes revealed by their offsprings. It has aimed to be an intergenerational understanding of adulthood building processes, considering the contextual transformations which draw a new scenario, more complex and unstable, for the constitution of the adult identity in the contemporary world. Through semistructured interviews, seven paulista families were surveyed. They were represented by four couples and three single mothers. Results indicated that changes related to the conception of marriage, financial independence, and the leaving of parents home as traditional landmarks for the transition into maturity favor the re-signification of being an adult, which turns out to be considered the result of a process conducted by the moral value of responsibility. The idea of adulthood as a process based on the differentiation of individuals in relation to their families of origin surfaces, and this makes it possible for parents to recognize their children as adults, even in spite of their not having crossed the traditional landmarks of transition. On the other hand, despite this general movement of parents who, more flexible on their conceptions, seem to follow the contemporary changes in a more positive basis, some patterns of family dynamics remain unchanged, thus reflecting on the ambivalent visions of some of the interviewees on the adult condition of their children. This lights up the fact that the building of adult life implies, at last, a transition between distinct phases of the family life cycle, demanding the re-signification of parenting itself |
