One Story, Many Lives: A Reflection on Dysfunctional Families and Their Consequences
When someone is born, the individual is welcomed by their parents, grandparents and other family members, which means the first social contact. It is through the relationship with family members that the child learns to deal socially, to live in society following the established rules. The present study analyzes the exceptions, that is, the dysfunctional family, the emotional and behavioral problems of its members and the consequences for everyone. Fundamentally the intention of this study is to emphasize the importance of the element “love” and the search for “happiness” in family relationships for the formation of individuals. The research methodologies applied are qualitative and theoretical, based on the philosophical Kant and Ricoeur’s foundations. The object of reflection will be a particular case that is significant and representative of the events that involve the psychological problems of dysfunctional families.
