O SISTEMA FAMILIAR E OS PROBLEMAS DAS DROGAS: um estudo do filme Cazuza – O Tempo Não Pára

Abstract

The family is determinant in creating the conditions for social bonds to be formed, being understood, according to the systemic perspective, as the identity matrix that involves generations, divisions and phenomena linked to the family life cycle and transgenerational history. Systemic Psychology argues that there is the involvement of all family entities when a person of this nucleus is going through some conflict. The family has a regulatory function of the system, offering support for individual overcoming. The objective of this study is to reflect the family system and the family setbacks in the case of having an addict child, in the light of the film Cazuza - O Tempo Nao Parra. We used a qualitative delineation of a case study of historical descriptive nature through the method of life history, through the narrative of the film 'Cazuza - O Tempo naoPara', a biobiography, directed by Sandra Werneck and Walter Carvalho. This case shows how the family can influence the individual to seek illicit activities. Attitudes such as maternal overprotection and paternal omission, easy access to money, among others, focused on rebellious attitudes on the part of Cazuza. The use of narcotics was determinant for him to live an intense bohemian life and not to be foreseen, contracting the HIV virus. Joint social work, with the intention of preserving the family institution, is essential so that drugs do not further disrupt every community. The example of Cazuza must be remembered, lest it happen to countless other Brazilians. It is necessary to perform the psychologist with all family members, not only the user, since the consequences of the use of narcotics affect each family entity in a specific way.
