Comunicação interpessoal no subsistema conjugal: desenvolvimento do transtorno de conduta e dificuldade de aprendizagem dos filhos atendidos no Hospital Central de Maputo-CERPIJ

Abstract

This dissertation aims to understand interpersonal communication in the marital subsystem, the development of conduct disorder and learning difficulties in the children attended. For the study sample, 5 marital and children subsystems were selected, which were already registered and had started sessions, with interpersonal communication barriers in the family system. To achieve the objectives, we carried out a descriptive study, combined with a qualitative approach and used the interview, genogram, sociogram and family system test (FAST) as data collection instruments. The assessment of the influence of interpersonal communication on the marital subsystem, the development of conduct disorder and the learning difficulties of the children attended was through the degree of cohesion and the family hierarchy variable, roles played, boundaries and interactions. The preliminary results of this research show that in three marital and children subsystems cohesion is low and medium and in two subsystems cohesion is low-low while in another subsystem cohesion is high-high. In relation to the hierarchy in the subsystems, there is a predominance of the average hierarchy. The family structure is unbalanced but often unstable. The implications of these results are discussed throughout the work
