Gift and Duty Configurations Within the Family Environment
Journal Title: Journal of Experiential Psychotherapy - Year 2016, Vol 19, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: In the present article we aimed to explore, identify and represent the problematic present experiences relating to the gift and duty phenomenon within the family context. Furthermore, our focus on the psychotherapeutic approach from a psycho-genealogical point of view is intended to offer psychotherapists the possibilities to identify the occurrence pattern of the change phenomenon. We have also tried to help clients make the best use of their resources during the therapeutic sessions and to identify their own needs concerning the manifestation of their autonomy and self respect. Objectives: Our objective is to determine the generational effects of gift and duty relationships and their effect on parent-children relationships. Our hypothesis was that the identification of specific trans-generational dynamics concerning gift and duty, has an impact on the psycho (pathological) aspects in daily life experiences. Methods: A qualitative approach involving clients was conducted in order to discover the dynamics of gift and duty phenomenological and dynamic relationships in parent-children (adult) relationships. For the evaluation of the gift and duty phenomenon we used drama-genograms and an experiential grid, extracting relevant psychotherapeutic aspects. Results: The case study analysis indicates specific relationships between parents and children concerning certain difficulties in the gift and duty dynamics. Every case study indicates a specific trans-generational schema of the interrelationship between family members throughout generations. Conclusions: The use of psycho-genealogical therapeutic procedure sessions helped the participants get the proper understanding and implement a healthy separation process in parent-children relationship
