DE LAZOS Y AUSENCIAS. UNA HISTORIA LLAMADA JUAN

Abstract

The goal of this essay is to share and highlight the complexity between the different disciplines involved in the public institutional sphere, whose particularity is its assistance in psychopedagogy and psychological care for people who suffer any kind of violence.

We will go through it and its social community framessswork showing all this everyday struggles by reconstructing the history of an individual who now on we will call Juan.

The story of this preteenager student in public schools in the suburban area of Buenos Aires forces us to rethink about childhoods in a time and social era where stigmas and rights violations seem to override this kid’s subjectivity at the same time he experiences mourning and grief during several times in his short 12 years of life.

We will get to know about these troubled situations based on open and individual interviews along with school groups and local services, such as the use of psychometrics and projective techniques, permanent clinical evaluation, game times, role play, technological resources, among others.

This 2 years’ path involving interactions between Juan, teachers, professionals and family was highly dynamic.

The irruption of the Covid19 pandemic resulted in new understandings and challenges that led to the opportunity to make visible, learn and create new methods and strategies to unlearn family mandates that induced violence through virtual and face to face encounters that gave the possibility to support bonds even in absences.
