RESUMO

The purpose of this study was to apprehend and interpret in a phenomenological way some of the significant elements from peopleâs experiences whom have concluded a process of family therapy. The research focus was on the meaning given by clients to their experiences. The researcher constituted a dialogical relationship with participants and, by doing so was able to access the meanings of their experiences and to communicate them through comprehensive narratives inspired by the ideas of Walter Benjamin. Narrative emerged as a proper methodological strategy to present and analyze patients experiences on family therapy as it was told to the researcher in a clinical setting. After all the families were interviewed a narrative synthesis was written with the main meanings of their experiences as they were understood by the researcher. These interpretations pointed a way that made possible the proposition of some guidelines for the clinical practice with families in institutional settings: 1) the therapy may work even if only two family members take part in it; 2) an easy and neutral attitude by the therapist is positive for the clients; 3) the therapeutical conversation is a model for the family in other contexts; 4) the reflexive conversation between the therapists or between a therapist and a family member is a model for changes in the family dynamics; 5) the couple or any other part of the family may be counseled apart, as a way to deal with specific issues that may influence other family members; 6) the families appreciates the conversations where they can speak, hear and be heard; 7) Even the persons who did not volunteer to go to therapy saw it as an opportunity for positive changes; 8) The pre-settled number of therapy sessions may be changed in a process where the decision is shared with the patients.
