IMPACTOS EM CRIANÇAS APÓS A DEVOLUÇÃO: UMA VISÃO PSICANALITICA

Abstract

The aim of the present study is to analyze the possible psychological impacts on children and adolescents that can happen after undergoing a return process after they have been adopted. Since adoption is a means of inserting a child or adolescent who had to leave his or her family of origin for several reasons and was inserted in a new family environment. This new family that welcomes this individual will have the responsibility to safeguard one of the main rights contained in the status of children and adolescents, the family environment, but this insertion may not be successful. One reason for the return process to occur has as one of the many hypotheses the lack of compatibility between the adopted subject and the adopting family. This incompatibility can be generated by divergent aspects between the expected behavior and the actual behavior of the adoptee, among many other reasons that are possible for the child to be returned to the institution. A documentary analysis was carried out with children who went through this situation and professionals, in order to observe how experiences and the impacts that may have been caused by this, with an analysis of the data collected based on the psychoanalytic theory.
