Abstract

We have investigated the perception of five family therapists about female-headed single parenting and the role of gender studies in their professional training. Both, an Individual semi-structured interview and the Critical Discourse Analysis together with a systemic approach emphasizing micro and macro elements present in the discourses were applied. The results indicated a lack of gender studies in the professionals’ basic training, which was partly compensated by the training in Systemic Family Therapy. Contradictory and complementary views were parts of the process of data analysis. When referring to female breadwinner and their relationships with environmental and family context, the discourses ranged from pathology biases and health promotion. Such variations were divided between clinical and psychosocial view of the phenomenon and required a critical positioning towards the data analysis.

Keywords: Single-parent women. Gender. Systemic Family Therapy.
