RESUMO

The aim of this study is the comprehension of the meanings produced and negotiated in the process of a familiar support group of people that has been diagnosed with anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa taken care in an ambulatory context. More specifically, this study aims to delineate the meanings that these familiars give about their participation at the group. We believe that the support group offers a valorous context for the investigation (deconstruction) of the ways that the discursive traditional communities construct its ideas and values and how those ideas gain the status of reality for the people in those communities. We hope that the results of this study can help the users of this and others services with similar characteristics. Our study object, the familiar support group, in its actual configuration, has five years of functioning. Since its beginning the group is open to the familiars and companions of the people taken care of at the service. It does not have a definitive number of participants that can be in, and all the families are invited to participate. We taped and transcript 10 sessions of this group. 37 participants were present in those sessions. After the exhaustive reading of this material, we enlighten the participants sayings that were referred to the familiar participation. Once we realized the presence of this thematic in the first tree sessions, those were chosen to constitute the corpus of our analysis. The analysis was based in the social constructionist perspective and in the use of the methodological and theoretical recourse of analysis called sequential and thematic delimitations. The different moments of these session delimited by these themes were: the different meanings for the group participation; the construction of the difference in the group; the recognition of the similarities and differences between the participants; the different places taken in the group; the comprehension for the different groups meanings; the construction of the possibilities for being together; the indications for the groups participation; and the possibilities for the appearance of a new meaning for the difference. When negotiating these meanings, the participants construct themselves, the disease and the group. The judges that emerge at the group can be taken as true, being crystallized and promoting segregation movements in the group. However, these meanings can be revisited and be reconfigured in a constant art of enlacing new meanings as new relation and interaction begins (CAPES).
