Psychological resources and construction of welfare before the absence of parents

Abstract

The main objective of this survey was to inquire about the psychosocial resources, related with the subjective wellbeing of adults who experienced absence of some of the parents. We carried out semi-structured interview and some Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) prints to 9 nine people that freely accepted to participate and fulfilled the inclusion criteria. We found that the psychosocial resources were means so that the people, even if they experienced absence of some of their parents, could build a subjective wellbeing. This is quite relevant, because as far as we can offer to kids and young people some other possibilities or resources to face the feelings of absence, there will be more possibilities to build up wellbeing in front of Parents increasingly absent.
