Conflict management in families with adolescents
Introduction
It is of all known that the study of the family is complex, because it tends to be embodied by imaginary very distant from its daily dynamics. On the one hand, the idealization of family life is common while conflicts are minimized, since we inherit a Judeo -Christian conception that considers the niche of virtues, the space where the complementary interaction of the qualities of each sex, the response toAll dreams of stability, harmony and the privileged place of affections.
In that when reflecting on the family, power relations and conflict are denied as if these dynamics were not immersed in that world so intimate that it inevitably involves us. Another common imaginary when it comes to analyzing the family comes from the exaggerated signaling of domestic violence, since in the faceviolence with conflict and pointing to family groups as generators of serious traumas for the new generations and cause of the social crisis that we currently live.
Developing
In the midst of these two extreme conceptions about family relationships in the conflict and power text in families with adolescents, it is about solving the question about: how does power and conflict reproduce in parents, mothers, children and childrendaughters between the families of Medellín and Cartagena and according to different types of family structure? Power is defined as the set of regulatory and disciplinary mechanisms that exist in families and authority as one of the instruments aimed at reproducing it from an assignment that culture establishes to fathers and mothers;While the conflict for its part, it follows precisely from this questioning of power.
The rigorous and systematic treatment of these concepts and the deep analysis of stories about the way the conflict that for fathers and mothers means adolescence stands out in the text. How do I know how to reproduce power and conflict in parents, mothers, sons and daughters between the families of Medellín and Cartagena and according to different types of family structure?

The rigorous and systematic treatment of these concepts and the deep analysis of stories about the way the conflict that for fathers and mothers means adolescence stands out in the text.
The study was based on the development of 76 deep interviews through which the versions of conflict and power were collected from stories made by parents and adolescents – whose ages ranged between 13 and 21 years old-. In order to contemplate the diversity in the study, cases that presented the situations between different types of family were carefully selected. Extensive, single -speaker female or masculine and genetic or superimposed.
Likewise, population from the different social strata and which are distributed by the families of the cities were interviewed. Because in Colombia we move with family intervention models built in the context of Anglo -Saxon cultures, research like these involve us in the recognition of our cultural forms, changes and contradictions that family dynamics are evoking in the middle ofUrban life. In that sense, the text provides basic conceptual elements for intervention in
Social work, teachers, other professionals and even who we are parents or mothers. The rigorous distinction between structural conflicts such as those from a contradictory dynamic in the family and short -term conflicts such as those of this stage of the life cycle on the other, the characterization that the author makes of the conflicts of family different for the nuclear for the nuclear for the nuclear for the nuclear for the nuclear for the nuclear ones.
The protection and limitations imposed on adolescents are mentioned by the mothers of single -parent households, the conflicts that are accentuated when the offspring does not recognize the social father or mother who reaches overlapping homes and finally the dynamics of conflictsgenerational of extensive groups, among others.
It should be noted that this study shows how fathers and mothers without being proposed, discriminatory values of men and women continue to be reproduced by sex: still the man is facilitated by their relationship with the public space, while the woman is restricted to her exits under theFear of loss of virginity or possible pregnancy.
While this situation is not the same among all homes, it indicates the difference in the reproduction of power relations over sexed bodies. It is worth noting that I miss a deeper analysis of this situation by the author of the relationship between gender and power. It is also demonstrated that conflicts concentrate between fathers and mothers clinging to traditions who received a very violent form of socialization and fear change. While the management of the conjunctural crisis caused by adolescence is facilitated among those who have built a democratic attitude around the way of interacting in family life.
Unfortunately, these fathers and mothers concentrate on the groups with the highest educational level and stratum. Another important contribution of the text is the reference to the different dynamics of the resolution of conflicts: from evasion, which constitutes a way of accentuating it and not facing it, the violence product of the inheritance in the socialization of our culture, the interference of third parties, when it is demanded and final.
Each of these forms generates contradictions and ambiguities in that relational dynamic, which are described by the narrator, better than the researcher. Reading suggests following the magnificent reflection of Brian Muleton cited by the author of the book: “It is not possible to pretend that the conflict does not exist. If we repress it, we do it more destructive, more insidious and less manageable. If we hide it, maintain and even increase, its ability to divert our judgment. While we continue to hide our conflict, we will be unable to solve them ”
conclusion
Authority is a source of circumstantial conflicts in adolescents when the norms do not comply, in turn conflicts become more intense when their parents focus power on them and this causes adolescent rejection towards parents, some conflict arise from weaknessto exercise or do not exercise authority. Conflicts provide a series of factors such as:
- The authoritarianism and the effort of adults to conserve their forms of dominance and the rebellion of adolescents who do not agree with the form that this authority exercises, these authorities cease to be a guide and become a mechanism of dominance.
- The lack of character of the figure, fails to obtain recognition this is presented when they do not assume the authority. The conflict also originates because several people want to exercise authority or when a new member tries to exercise such authority.
