O Conceito de família para usuários do centro de referência de assistência social

Abstract

This research aims to broaden the discussions in the field of Social Psychology about family, bond and vulnerability from the family concept presented for users of the Reference Center of Social Assistance discourses. A qualitative (analytical-discursive) research was carried out, composed by ethnographic research and interviews with 05 (five) CRAS users. The analysis of the interviews was carried out from a discursive perspective. The participants described their families in terms of the affections, difficulties and conflicts of daily life, but they presented an idealized family concept, which refers to the bourgeois nuclear family. In the CRAS context, the aspects that characterize vulnerability are highlighted, because it is from them that families are classified and included in services. The concept of family for the CRAS user is the same that has been constructed and cultivated with the emergence of modern society, with an emphasis on affection and promotion of care.
