DE PETRE, E. Eleonora. Family intervention as a diagnostic complement in expanded pediatrics: The puzzle model. Arch. argent. pediatr. [online]. 2013, vol.111, n.2. ISSN 0325-0075. http://dx.doi.org/10.5546/aap.2013.128.
The puzzle model is a brief intervention, an interdisciplinary diagnostic and therapeutic tool focused on the family. Its aim is to determine the impact of family dynamics on eliciting and developing the patient´s symptom. The adult and the child joint participation, by means of discourse in the case of the adult, and cognitive and projective games, in the case of the child, enable, through mutual interaction, the disclosure of the family structure and dynamics. The therapist, based on the elements arising from the interaction of both parties during the interview, reframes or sets up the new perspective of the described problem. The objective of this article is to describe the technique used. Two clinical cases and some results of this model are presented as an example.
