Desarrollo del vínculo afectivo entre madres sustitutas y niños, niñas y adolescentes dentro de una organización de Cali

Abstract

This research is based on the psychological development and family psychology theoretical framework, having as main aim to analyse the development of the emotional bond between substitute mothers and children/adolescents that belong to an organisation from Cali, Colombia. In the theoretical review, we take into account the contributions of Abelleira, Bowlby, Oliveros about bond affective; for the family concept authors such as Cusó, Garibay, Oliva were reviewed and finally about the caregiver rol concept we describe the contributions of Carrillo, Flórez, Larbán, Magallanes y Molina, among others. The methodology of the investigation corresponds to a qualitative descriptive approach, under the collective case study modality. Thus, it was carried out a semi-structured interview, identifying and analysing data under the categories of emotional bond, family and caregiver rol. The results show that the emotional bond develops from communication skills, empathy, patience and active listening, which are reflected upon the functions that the substitute mothers performed at home. In the same way, it was identify that the bonds are built since the child enters the organisation until he/she becomes independent, transforming such bond when they leave, becoming a meaningful bond
