Abstract
PENSO, Maria Aparecida and FERREIRA DE SOUZA MORAES, Patrícia Jakeliny. Family reintegration and multiple institutional accommodation. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.2, pp.1523-1535. ISSN 1692-715X. https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.14243180815.
This article discusses the reintegration of a teenager to living with his mother and the reasons that required multiple residential care measures, based on the systemic approach and the theory of social networks. The instruments used were interviews, network maps and document analysis. The analysis of the information was based on the constructive-interpretative approach that covered two zones of meaning: “The repetition of abandonment and difficulties in family reintegration processes” and “I had no one to tell” versus “A lot of people, but they were useless”. We conclude that the reasons for an adolescent’s multiple residential care periods is due to the fragility of his his family ties and the lack of integrated work by social networks.
Keywords : Institutionalization; teenager; family disorganization; social networks.
