缺乏调查研究探索家庭的出柜过程是本案例研究的动力,一个六人家庭的选择。深入的采访强调了谈判家庭规则的复杂性,在他们与新身份斗争时与家人一起旅行,并揭示了反思过程如何有助于家庭共同创造新故事。出现的四个主题(拥抱同性恋身份,融入家庭,建立社交网络和社会觉醒)提供了家庭如何从混乱的瓦砾中重新配置的细节,变得更加有凝聚力,觉醒和授权。与同性恋成员的家庭的临床实践的影响得到解决。
The paucity of investigative studies exploring the coming out process of families was the impetus for this case study with a six member family-of-choice. In-depth interviews highlight the complexities of negotiating family rules, journey with the family as they struggled with their new identity, and reveal how the reflexive process contributed to the family's co-creation of new stories. The four themes that emerged (embracing gay identity, integrating as a family, building social networks, and social awakening), offer details of how the family reconfigured from the rubble of confusion to become more cohesive, awakened and empowered. Implications for clinical practice with families with gay members are addressed.
