I. THEORETICAL
1.1 CONTEXT:
Until the 1990s, the term "dysfunctional family" was used to refer to social
groups with notable problems of violence and lack of communication;
However, in recent years this concept has changed radically, to the point
that psychologists affirm that every family has a certain degree of
dysfunction, which in the long term deteriorates the capabilities and social
interaction of its members. “A dysfunctional family over time generates
dysfunctional people, who go to work, go to school and relate as best they
can with others,”
Many social phenomena have been explained from this idea: alcoholism,
drug addiction, violence, aggression or crime, so that a superficial

judgment could point to this type of family as the origin and sole
responsible for community ills, but this is not the case. .
In this sense, he indicates that "we must pay attention to the moment in
which the qualities of this group affect the growth of its members, because
although the most vulnerable tend to be the children, because they are in
training, when we go deeper it is common to discover that a dysfunctional
family affects everyone and can also be a source of frustration for
parents.”
For example, if the man restricts himself to his role as provider of the
house, which socially remains one of his main participations, he will do

“Adults need to carry out their life project, have levels of aspiration,
because if not, the family can become a source of obstacles. We must pay
close attention to this, when the needs are no longer being covered one
hundred percent, because everyone is harmed, not just the children,” says
Quintero Vázquez.

second daughter works all day to educate her daughter, and when she
gets home she dedicates herself alone. to her, and as for her son, the
latter does not pay attention or affection, which is why he is growing up
with inadequate attitudes without the mother realizing it. Mrs. MRF states
during the home visit that she has difficulty expressing her feelings of love
and affection towards her children, therefore it is enough for her that her
son is the last one and her granddaughter have to eat and other expenses

tasks to eventually financially support herself for the maintenance of the
child. home that sometimes generates a family crisis due to not having the
money for the food and proper education of her son and granddaughter,
being irritable towards her children, since her daughter works more for her,
that is, she likes to dress in fashion and clothes. expensive than for his
youngest daughter. It is also important to mention that the woman prefers
to give everything to her son but not express her affection or care for him
as she should, since she stops getting angry every day because they

already tired of him coming to the house, every time he comes to the
house he puts us all in a very bad mood, that's where everyone goes
their own way.”
As for the father, he does not get along with the neighbors; he has the
mentality that they were the ones who put ideas and gossip into his ex-
wife. On the other hand, the user maintains a friendly relationship with his
friends in the neighborhood, since he goes out for a walk or playing soccer
with them, but when they annoy him or say something he doesn't like, he
reacts aggressively, this happens in his neighborhood, something similar It
happens at their school, only there they have a group formed who are

The BCP user states that meetings between families occur on special
dates such as birthdays, but not all members participate due to different
factors, especially sympathy. The family establishes recreation systems,
taking into account the availability of time and the budget, every time they
want to recreate they go on a weekend to have lunch at the Los Patos
country restaurant and then they have to return promptly for the lady's
work.
According to the user's mother, the values that she instills in her children
are honesty without realizing that her youngest son does not practice it,
among other values such as respect and humility, however, he does not

mild; and as for the user's niece, the 12-year-old must use her inhaler daily
due to her asthma disease. On the other hand, the mother suffers from
headaches that occur constantly, which requires care in her diet and
monthly medical attention. In addition, she has bronchi causing pain in her
lungs.
When the Social Work practitioner obtained her first contact with the BCP
user, she made him see the mistake he was making by deceiving and
stealing a classmate's cell phone with his friends as accomplices who
always tend to meet up with his cousin, At the same time, I became aware
and immediately handed the cell phone to a teacher who would be in
charge of delivering the object to the assistants.
When the user committed to changing, the Social Work practitioner went
and introduced herself to the family, explaining her role and why she was
in front of them. During that period, she began to talk about her son's
problem, which they knew nothing about. in such a way that they were
surprised to hear about their son's problem. As is normal, the mother
wondered anxiously how this behavior started. It was obvious that when
the assistant called the mother, the user asked his uncle to justify and talk
to him. auxiliary and in this way his family did not know anything;
According to her sister MCP states:

he was in bad ways and that he fights a lot with his friends, it already
seemed strange to me that the exiles did not call my mother” .
Both the user's sister and mother recognized the problem and at the same
time asked her son to change his attitude, at that moment the woman tried
to put all the blame on her ex-husband, because he does not set a good
example for her son. and he did not instill values in him.
When the social worker visited the CP family for the second time, she had
the opportunity to meet the user's father, who showed seriousness
throughout the period of time in which the social work practitioner was, by
updating his ex-wife on what What was happening with his son
immediately reacted and blamed his ex-wife, stating the following:
“Because she is with her friends and busy with her business, she does not
take good care of my son, which is why he is like that, how can we
demand anything from him if we do not teach him to be a good man”
When making this comment, the man started to leave, angry at what was
happening and the user remained looking down. He continued the visit
until he got both the mother and sister to commit to helping the user since
he needed a lot of help. moral support before his rebellion grows, but for
this they were grateful and at the same time asked the Social Work
practitioner to help and guide him when it came to the change of his
youngest son, on the contrary the user's father did not say anything more
than blame his ex-wife.

intervention process. It is important to emphasize that both offered minimal
details about their son's personality, in addition to informing the Social
Work practitioner about the conflicts that exist within their home. As for the
father, there was not much contact since he preferred to run away from his
son's problem than to support him and be with him; the relationship with
the social worker was distant.

2.2. DIAGNOSIS
The problem of family dysfunction, which occurs in the BCP user, was
identified through the home visits carried out by the multidisciplinary team.
It should also be noted that the follow-up is carried out in a few days at IE
José Mariátegui located in the district of Porvenir. . Through the role
played by Mrs. IHT OBE Coordinator, the BCP student was identified as a
subject of intervention, stating the following:
"You can't do it anymore with this little boy, the truth is that
the behavior he has at school apparently comes from home
since a year ago his behavior changed completely, before
he was quiet and now no one beats him in responding,
lately he has “bad friends especially from the 5th grade of
high school.”
It is there where the OBE Coordinator allowed the social work practitioner
to learn about the adolescent's case, facilitating the first contact, as well as
an EI assistant, Mr. JC. I comment the following:
31 PRE-PROFESSIONAL PRACTICES I
NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF TRUJILLO
PROFESSIONAL ACADEMIC SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK
since then he has calmed down a bit, but his relaxed and
aggressive behavior continues”
32 PRE-PROFESSIONAL PRACTICES I
NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF TRUJILLO
PROFESSIONAL ACADEMIC SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK
“And who are you, and why are you interested in knowing
about me? Why are you calling me? If I haven't done
anything wrong, the assistant, the coordinator, and my
parents all blame me, like If I were the bad guy in the
movie, but that's not the case, my friends do worse things
and they don't say anything to them, but if they call me to
management, that's why I get home late and my mom "He
yells at me or hits me, I'm already fed up with everyone."
Before the Social Work practitioner introduced herself, the user had
already come forward to comment. In response to the question, the Social
Worker introduced herself and explained her presence in said EI and her
actions with him.
After the user already knew why the Social Work practitioner was
interested in learning more about him, he was surprised and didn't want to
talk anymore, so the Social Worker was looking for a way to gain the
user's trust, it was So when we had the first contact with the user, he
started talking about his family, that he has two more brothers and that he
is the last child; The oldest of his brothers is married and lives far away,
and they do not have much contact to tell him about their problems. He
currently lives with his mother, sister and niece.
The relationship he has with his parents is not so good because they are
separated due to his father's infidelity; The mother is a little distant with the
user, because she does not pay attention to him or is interested in him,
since she will worry more about the problems she has with her spouse and
about working, this makes the user feel alone, without power. Talk to
someone who can guide you or tell you what is good and what is bad.
The father is concerned about working for the economic support of the
user alone, but he does not dedicate time to talk with him about his studies
33 PRE-PROFESSIONAL PRACTICES I
NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF TRUJILLO
PROFESSIONAL ACADEMIC SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK
or how he feels about the problem they are going through regarding the
separation he has with his wife and parents. the consequences that the
father's behavior towards the family may bring, causing them to lose
respect, because on several occasions he comes home drunk, kicks the
door, and verbally attacks them by mentioning Western words; resulting in
the user taking the example of his father, practicing it in EI, in his home
and in his social environment, encouraging him to make inappropriate
decisions such as choosing to drink alcoholic beverages with his friends to
forget about the problems at home. damaging their behavior, studies and
relationships with their family, this problem has been increasing through
the manifestations of the aforementioned teachers, as a way of drawing
the attention of both their family and the people around them, seeing it as
a game and mockery of others has chosen to take other people's things
from his classmates along with other friends from different grades and
sections, forming groups of possible adolescents with inappropriate
behaviors such as theft.
“My son wasn't like that before, I remember that when his
little cousins came they would hit him and make him cry
and he wouldn't say anything. But now the opposite is true,
his behavior has changed, he no longer pays attention and
stops answering me or else stops fighting with his sister.”
2.2.2. CAUSES:
Parental separation:
34 PRE-PROFESSIONAL PRACTICES I
NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF TRUJILLO
PROFESSIONAL ACADEMIC SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK
From the moment the user's parents decide to separate, due to the
problem of infidelity on the part of the father, the behavior of the
intervention subject has been changing, since previously they were more
attentive to him, and he had confidence in telling him about his problems,
Currently, the user's father lives separately and does not dedicate time to
him, as does the mother because they both work, taking their marital
problems as a priority, completely neglecting their children.
According to the author Juan Esquerra (2000) I mention the following:
“Given the high number of separations between couples
that occur today, many children are affected by this
situation. This situation has ceased to be exceptional and
has become quite common.”
It should be noted that every marital problem affects the children in one
way or another since they are the ones who perceive the entire problem.
From the moment the father decides to leave home, he leads a disorderly
life, leaving aside his responsibility as a father, taking refuge in alcohol to
forget the problems of the home, it is there that in his drunken state he
goes to his previous home to verbally attacking his family, causing fear in
his wife and children, setting a bad example for them.
According to Paola Silva F. (2001) commented the following about verbal
attacks:
“Systematically destroying a person's self-esteem through
criticism, contempt, abandonment or insults; They are also
forms of violence. There is no doubt that sometimes blows
to the spirit are much more damaging than blows to the
body and leave deeper wounds. Victims of this type of
35 PRE-PROFESSIONAL PRACTICES I
NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF TRUJILLO
PROFESSIONAL ACADEMIC SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK
It is worth mentioning that the user has poor communication with his
siblings, because his older brother lives far from home, on the other hand
he has a sister who is a single mother, and they do not have good
relationships, nor trust to be able to talk about their problems, even more
so with his niece who is the one who always has to come and report what
is happening at school.
36 PRE-PROFESSIONAL PRACTICES I
NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF TRUJILLO
PROFESSIONAL ACADEMIC SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK
It should be noted that little by little conflicts and disunity have been
created. Forming small groups from other sections to attract attention
within the classroom, such as during recess hours, such attacks are
manifested through insults and pushing, in order to attract attention.
37 PRE-PROFESSIONAL PRACTICES I
NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF TRUJILLO
PROFESSIONAL ACADEMIC SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK
On the other hand, it is important to indicate that the relationship with his
brothers is not good, because each one cares about their personal
interests.
2.2.3. CONSEQUENCES:
Inappropriate behaviors:
Due to the poor communication and separation from his parents, the user
tends to have aggressive behaviors within the EI with his classmates. On
the other hand, it is important to note that when he gets together with his
group of friends with relaxed behavior, they begin to annoying everyone
without any exception, creating conflicts of enmity.
Poor school performance:
38 PRE-PROFESSIONAL PRACTICES I
NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF TRUJILLO
PROFESSIONAL ACADEMIC SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK
Family problems in some cases harm children over 9 years of age even
more, which is why by concentrating more on their problems at home, they
live distracted, or thinking about what will be happening at home.
Another reason for poor academic performance is when the user takes
little interest in what they explain and is more interested in their
hypotheses.
Loss of the value of respect with family and colleagues:
It should be noted that there are very few people who treat others with
respect. Respect is an important value because we learn it at home with
our family and therefore it is applied in daily life. Respect has been lost
little by little due to because the father does not set the example as such,
manifesting himself with verbal attacks every time he arrives home and
this he does when he gets drunk, which is why the user also does not
respect his peers and much less his relatives, saying that the respect
towards others he has been losing during the time in which his father
began to act inappropriately.
Youth gang formation:
Due to the bad meetings and the little attention and understanding that he
receives from his parents, he seeks refuge in his friends thinking that they
are a way out to feel good, and he does not leave when he is leaving for a
reason. bad path, due to the relaxed behavior he has.
School dropout:
If the inappropriate behavior on the part of the user continues, the school
will have to expel him to prevent this problem from further aggravating and
damaging the image of the EI, as well as preventing his other classmates
from adopting his inappropriate attitudes.

The conclusion was reached that through the problem of family dysfunction the user acts aggressively both in
EI and in his social environment.
Through the first home visit, the social work practitioner was able to observe that the relationship between the
user's parents is deficient.

Likewise, the conclusion was reached that due to family problems they have left the son aside without realizing
that he needs family attention and affection.
On the other hand, the user and his niece have conflictive relationships, because when he observes that his
uncle has inappropriate behavior at school he goes and informs his mother about everything, and when she
knows this, instead of advising him, she criticizes him.

II. Description:
Childhood:
I was born on May 14, 1998, I completed my initial in the Tambo Real Garden, when I was 6 years old everything
was nice they enrolled me in the IE Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe late shift, as it was the last one they spoiled
65 PRE-PROFESSIONAL PRACTICES I
NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF TRUJILLO
PROFESSIONAL ACADEMIC SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK
me I liked to play too much with my carts that my father gave me, at that time my parents were well off financially,
I remember that my father taught me my homework with great patience, he did not hit me, it was my mother who
hit me, but when I went out without asking permission, at the same time they punished us when We spoke bad
words, my parents didn't like that because they said that God is going to punish us. At that time we all went to the
Adventist church.
I remember that my mother was good friends with a neighbor who lived next door, they both stopped up and
down, and they even cooked together and we all used to walk, I was a friend of the lady's son, we treated each
other like brothers, we were both from the same age.
The worst stage of my life
When I was 8 years old and was in the 3rd grade of primary school, my best friend, my neighbor, told me that he
had seen my dad kiss his mom, so I went and told my mom, she didn't believe me but she did. I was left with
doubts and I was still her friend, until one time my mother came from the market and saw the two of them
hugging, which is what she already tells me. I remember that my mother cried night and day until she decided to
forgive my father. They returned again but my father continued with his tricks, when my mother had anger she
would take it out on me and nothing was the same every change she would yell at me outright and didn't even pay
attention to me when my friends hit me at school. Not even my brothers paid any attention to me when my sister
got pregnant at the age of 15, my parents always blamed each other for the bad upbringing according to them,
when I finished primary school at the age of 11 during my graduation party my dad got drunk and He began to
insult my mother. At that time, my innocence as a child and my way of being changed completely. There was one
time when I found my niece holding hands with the neighbor's son. I got so angry that I pulled her by the hair and
66 PRE-PROFESSIONAL PRACTICES I
NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF TRUJILLO
PROFESSIONAL ACADEMIC SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK
told her. I brought to the house, I remember that I received the maja that had never been given to me before, from
there we got along badly with her.
When I was 12, my parents separated permanently. My father wanted to take me but my mother didn't want to
and my father began to get drunk more often and came home just to yell at us. My neighbor and her family went
to live in Chepen until, through a My aunt, my mother, found out that my wife had gotten divorced and that she
had returned to her wife. That's where I no longer felt the affection of my mother and my father, my brothers,
nothing to talk about, they always worried about being well. Well, my older brother no longer lived with us because
he went to live with his wife and my sister lives a single life and worries about dressing well just like her daughter.
At the age of 13 I started to get angry quickly and I no longer listened to my mother and I didn't care much about
what she told me, because my father made me and still makes me feel ashamed, I don't even want to see him
because every time he drinks he yells at him. My mother does it with me, she tells me that I am lazy, a donkey
that I know nothing and that I am no good for anything, my mother when she hears this she shuts up, now I am 14
years old not long ago my oldest brother grabbed Fighting with my dad while drunk has even challenged him to
kill him. The truth is that my family has me mad. Now I can't answer much to my mom because she's sick. That's
why I react like that. I don't get upset quickly and I don't like it when My classmates bother me, when they look at
me it seems like they are making fun of me or I don't know, there are days when I don't go to class because the
assistant wants me to bring my mom but I can't say anything to her because if I tell her she will be I'm having a
hard time and I'd better tell my uncle to come but the auxiliaries don't want them anymore.
Problems at school
67 PRE-PROFESSIONAL PRACTICES I
NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF TRUJILLO
PROFESSIONAL ACADEMIC SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK
Even though I don't feel so alone, I have my legs from school that every time we go out we laugh, but sometimes
I'm afraid because because of one of them they almost kicked me out of school because that won, he pulls a cell
phone a colleague and then hides it in the bathroom, from there they call me to go take it out and hide it, I go and
the assistants find me, my colleague, the owner of the cell phone leaves and complains, but the only thing I did
was give him the cell phone. to my cousin and he almost sold that won, when they sent us to bring our parents the
assistants didn't say that if we didn't get the cell phone they were going to expel us, so gentlemen we just returned
the cell phone to my partner, well sometimes we go up the hill from the virgin to have some chelitas and then we
go down and my mother doesn't even realize that because she is behind my dad, and I am aware that this year I
am going to pull him because I haven't gone to classes for 3 weeks (laughs) Well, not only do we take drugs, my
legs have drugs and I don't know where they get them from, they have invited me several times but I'm afraid
because I haven't taken drugs yet but three friends have already done it but they're not from school, they're from
my neighborhood and I I laughed at how he spoke and sang. I don't know what that thing is like but they say it
makes you fly (laughs). One time I almost did it but a man walked by and yelled at us. I think my dad also takes
drugs because every time he She goes home shouting and singing, making a mess in the street, apparently she
doesn't also get along with her lover, my old lady who makes me feel sorry for my sister when she goes out she
leaves her daughter and the one who has to take care of her is my Mom, that girl also makes me angry. Last time
my dad came and hit her because he said that having his daughter standing in the street like anyone else, my
sister, being resentful, doesn't talk to my dad because she had embarrassed him in the street, with His daughter,
we hardly speak to each other, she is a gossip and she is with boys at school, but there is going to be a day when
I am going to hit her because at school they stop me saying uncle and that annoys me, many of the teachers tell
68 PRE-PROFESSIONAL PRACTICES I
NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF TRUJILLO
PROFESSIONAL ACADEMIC SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK
me that I have changed. But they don't really know what happens at my house so I'll stay at school to see how it
turns out (laughs).
