RECURSOS QUE SURGEN EN LAS PAREJAS EN TIEMPOS DE PANDEMIA

The COVID-19 pandemic and confinement, as a measure to stop the contagion, have had a strong impact on the mental health of the population. Emotions such as uncertainty, fear of contracting illness and anguish have increased.

Three dimensions are identified in which resources have emerged during this crisis: family reorganization and multiplicity of roles, the appreciation of support networks and the strengthening of intimacy in the couple.

FAMILIAS ADOPTIVAS DURANTE LA PANDEMIA: REFLEXIONES PRELIMINARES EN TORNO AL VÍNCULO FAMILIAR

In this article we will reflect on the possible implications that the pandemic and lockdown has brought upon adoptive families. Some adoptive parents have taken this time as an opportunity to meet and strengthen their bond with their children, others have perceived it as a learning experience. However, for many it has meant an increase of stress that interferes with their parental role. We reflect on the aspects that enhance a secure and protective bond in adoptive families, in which parents welcome their children and their emotions. Adoptive parents who are open to reflect on their own histories and their children’s, are emotionally more available to face the difficulties that life during the pandemic brings.

El artículo mostrará cómo este fenómeno es clave para pensar en el lugar de los niños y adolescentes en nuestra sociedad desde un enfoque que los considera actores sociales y sujetos políticos. Esta conceptualización se ilustrará a través de las experiencias de los consejos y asambleas. La participación de niños y adolescentes en la nueva carta fundamental es necesaria para dar legitimidad a un proceso que busca elaborar un nuevo contrato social intergeneracional.
