La transmisión transgeneracional de patrones adictivos dentro de la dinámica familiar en adultos hospitalizados por consumo de alcohol y drogas.

Abstract

The research was based on the analysis of the transgenerational transmission of addictive patterns in adults hospitalized for alcohol and drug abuse, where it was described, that addictions do not emerge from nothing, since these reside in family dynamics and that is where they perpetuate. The importance of the study was the need to understand, of truth, how these behaviors are formed in the family, affecting recovery and facilitating relapses, in addition to the shortage of national empirical data. The study focused on analyzing these transmissions, seeking to specify by defining addictive behaviors in the family, and describing the transmission sources together with the family dynamics that feed these beliefs. A qualitative methodology was used, with interpretive paradigm and descriptive design, through semi -structured interviews with hospitalized adult patients and the review of recent literature. The results showed that transgenerational transmission was observed through imitation and habits, as well as through dysfunctions such as violence, codependence and overprotection. The conclusion was that, instead of promoting resilience, these circumstances created an environment that aggravated vulnerability, fortifying addiction while obstructed by the ways for recovery. The study also discovered the importance of integral family therapy designed to interrupt addictive cycles and foster resilience at the clinical level.
