Resumo: Recent studies on the transition to motherhood suggest that a support network plays a central role in maternal experience and in the development of the mother-infant relationship. Being a woman without a partner, having economic diffi culties, belonging to an ethnic minority or being a recent migrant are some of the conditions that overlap with the demands of maternity and create multiple vulnerabilities. This article analyzes the maternal experience of two recent refugee women in Brazil. The analysis is based on psychotherapeutic sessions at a Winnicottian transcultural clinic offered at a host institution for pregnant women and mothers. We describe how loneliness and helplessness challenge maternal skills, while resilience and adequate shelter facilitate the construction of a support network that favors good motherhood. In our view, the professional can help ensure that maternal practices are guided by the cultural reference of origin as the mother integrates into the culture of the host country.

Mulheres sem companheiro ou com difi culdades econômicas, bem como membros de minoria étnica ou recém-migrantes são algumas das condições que se sobrepõem às demandas da maternidade, criando um quadro de múltiplas vulnerabilidades. Este trabalho aborda a experiência materna de duas mulheres recentemente refugiadas no Brasil, a partir de sessões psicoterapêuticas na clínica winnicottiana transcultural oferecida em uma instituição de acolhimento a gestantes e mães. Observou-se que a solidão e o desamparo desafi am as competências maternas, enquanto a resiliência e o acolhimento adequado permitem a construção de uma rede de apoio que favorece a maternidade sufi cientemente boa. Nessa perspectiva, o profi ssional pode facilitar ou impedir que práticas maternas se orientem pelo referencial cultural de origem, enquanto a mãe se integra à cultura do país de acolhida.Núcleo de Editoração - PUC-Campinas2023-02-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/7445Psychological Studies; Vol. 35 No. 2 (2018): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; Vol. 35 Núm. 2 (2018): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; v. 35 n. 2 (2018): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)1982-0275reponame:Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPenghttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/7445/4999Copyright (c) 2023 Michele Carmona ACHING, Tania Mara Marques GRANATOhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessACHING, Michele CarmonaGRANATO, Tania Mara Marques 2023-02-16T12:32:37Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/7445Revistahttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudosPRIhttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudos/oaisbi.ne_estpsi@puc-campinas.edu.br||estudosdepsicologia@puc-campinas.edu.br||psychologicalstudies@puc-campinas.edu.br1982-02750103-166Xopendoar:2023-02-16T12:32:37Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
