Tecendo histórias: ressonâncias do sofrimento psíquicode mães “loucas” nos nos processos de subjetivação de seus filhos.

Abstract

This article aims to problematize the relations established between madness and parenting, based on a narrative review of existing publications on the subject. In addition to books and book chapters, articles published in Portuguese, Spanish and English were sought. The analysis was done by reading the twenty four selected articles, its systematizing and critical analysis. Most of the articles pointed to impacts on the development of children, daughters of parents with "mental disorders". Some studies have pointed out a higher risk among these children to develop “disorders” as well. We found a shortage of studies in the field of human and social sciences. Regarding Portuguese-language publications, seven articles reflected on the right to parenting and the need to take care of building the bond between parents, mothers and children in the context of psychiatric reform. Only two articles in the national literature focus more closely on the children's experience.We consider it pertinent to develop studies that reflect on how children signify their condition and what the experience of growing up with a father and / ora mother with psychological distress is for them, as well as the expansion of studies addressing the social markers of inequality and differences such as race, gender and class.
