Concepciones sobre la madre en el vínculo madre - hija

Abstract

This research project aims to delve deeper into the bonds that have been forged between mothers and daughters in my maternal family. Therefore, to understand this, this thesis presents the reasons and the path to identify and analyze the theoretical categories of the work: conceptions of the mother, the mother-daughter bond, and feminine subjectivity in the experience of women held by the women participating in the case study. At the methodological level, a qualitative case study was conducted using group techniques such as workshops and individual techniques such as interviews to capture the ideas, notions, feelings, perceptions, and ultimately, the conceptions of the participants regarding the research object described. The workshops and interviews revealed that the conception of mother is divergent and individual, even though the participants were raised in the same family unit. These conceptions are linked to the bond that the participants held and continue to hold throughout the different stages of their lives: childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, and how this changed with the different experiences they endured as women. It was found that the participants repeated or rejected patterns of their mother's parenting with their own daughters, both in their feminine subjectivity and in their decision-making.
