La familia política como factor de conflictos en la pareja con esterilidad

Abstract

Professional practice as group psychotherapists with women with infertility fixes its attention on the conflict expressed by patients when they talk about the pressures that they are subjected to by the political family making accusations about their infertility. When two people come together both families also do so in a practical and symbolic way, without there being a blood relationship. This may be a factor for disagreements, which sometimes ends up with the separation, or segregation of women because of infertility. Perhaps, in a functional couple where the priority is procreation, problems in living together start to be uncovered, with the aim of dispelling one of them. It is common to hide that infertility is of male origin, as such that it takes the social pressures off the man. Families become dysfunctional when there are no generational changes. Every family goes through a temporary deconstruction, incorporation and the formation of a new nuclear family within its core. It depends on the family history if the transit of such an unstructured one is with or without conflict.
