ABSTRACT. The narrative therapy establishes that people give sense and meaning to their life and relations relating their experiences, and interacting with others in a meaning full way, modeling like this their own life and relations. This investigation/intervention pretended to understand the organization of the experience and family confront surrounding the possible Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) of a child under age from the narratives built by the family system in a therapy context. The new methodological design included four moments and 12 sceneries of investigation/intervention the process was developed with 3 families participating with reflexive team, the complex comprehension of the neuropsychological diagnosis and the co-construction of the alternative narratives. The results showed how the families built dominant narratives about the manifest symptoms in the child from prejudices and beliefs, and tend to evidence a coalition between the child and the person in charge of the child and the guiltiness between parents. The therapeutic dialogue helps the co-construction of other suitable meanings for the integration and cooperation among the family system and the participation of the wide systems.

La Terapia Narrativa postula que las personas dan sentido y significado a sus vidas y relaciones relatando su experiencia, y al interactuar con otros en la representación de estos relatos, modelan sus propias vidas y relaciones. Este trabajo de investigación/intervención pretendió comprender la organización de la experiencia y el afrontamiento familiar en torno al posible Trastorno por Déficit de Atención con Hiperactividad (TDAH) de un hijo menor de edad desde las narrativas construidas por el sistema familiar en un contexto terapéutico. El neodiseño metodológico comprendía cuatro momentos y doce escenarios de investigación/intervención. El proceso se desarrolló con tres familias mediante la participación de equipos reflexivos, la comprensión compleja del diagnóstico neuropsicológico y la co-construción de narrativas alternas. Los resultados mostraron como las familias construyen narrativas dominantes de los síntomas manifiestos del niño desde las distinciones, prejuicios y creencias, y tienden a evidenciar coalición entre el niño y el cuidador y culpabilización mutua entre los padres. La conversación terapéutica les facilita la co-construcción de otros significados propicios para la integración y la cooperación dentro del sistema familiar y la participación de los sistemas amplios.
