Abstract

Abstract The research presented is a qualitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study, with a multi-methodological structure. The sample is composed by 25 prospective adoptive parents couples (n = 50 subjects) who show an initial interest in adoption. The research results indicate that the representation by the prospective adoptive parents is a crucial one, in many cases characterized by a significant negativity or ambivalence as well as the child’s and his pre-adoptive history representation. So, it is important to deepen not only the topic of family of origin, but also its associated topics like child history and child history representation during the assessment and training of prospective adoptive couples.

准养父母夫妇对亲生父母的表征

摘要本研究是一项定性、描述性和横断面研究，采用多方法结构。样本由25对对收养表现出最初兴趣的准养父母夫妇(n = 50受试者)组成。研究结果表明，准养父母的表征是一个至关重要的表征，在许多情况下，其特征是显著的消极或矛盾心理，以及儿童及其被收养前的历史表征。因此，在对拟收养夫妇进行评估和培训的过程中，不仅要深化原生家庭的主题，还要深化与之相关的儿童史、儿童史表征等主题。
