This research/intervention is articulated from the Psychology, Family, and Networks group. It is part of the Psychology, Human Systems, and Mental Health line from the macro-project links, ecology, and Networks which belongs to the master’s program in Clinical and Family Psychology, from the Universidad Santo Tomas located in Bogotá. The main objective is aimed at understanding and mobilizing the processes of individuation and autonomy in a family system that has a young person diagnosed with Down Syndrome (DS), as well as the link dynamics configured in the network: young person, family, institution, and researchers/interventionists through the strategy of generative dialogues. The method is reflective and contextual; it corresponds to second-order cybernetics. This type of research is qualitative and the emphasis to which it belongs is deepening, the context was developed in virtual mode at the Psychological Attention Service (SAP) of the Universidad Santo Tomas, its application was carried out with a single case study of a psychotherapeutic type, using conversational scenarios and generative dialogues as a strategy. This proposal made it possible to make a contextual and ecological reading of DS in a family with a diagnosed young woman, about the operators of the bond, dynamizing the deficit look configured within their system, from an interventional commitment made up of a therapist, co-therapist and meta-observer, and generative dialogues, which favored reflections on their autonomy processes, mobilizing decision-making in the young woman.
