Overview
According to the theoretical assumptions of Social Constructionism and the Systemic Approach, this study aimed to understand adolescence and the relationship between parents and children in this period, from the point of view of the parents themselves and their children, as well as through the intersection of both views. In a world of uncertainty, constant change, oriented towards hedonism, where new dangers seem to be more accessible to young people, there is an urgent need to understand how adolescents and parents experience this period of adolescence in the 21st century, the challenges and difficulties they experience, as well as the strategies they say they use to deal with them. In this sense, adopting a qualitative methodology, and starting with focus groups and circular focus groups, this study sought to access and understand the visions, meanings and co-construction of the discourses of parents and children on this subject. The research project described here is an excellent study document for psychologists, sociologists and other professionals interested in the subject of adolescence. It is also a manuscript accessible to the general public wishing to learn about scientific research produced in Portugal.
