La relación entre el funcionamiento familiar y la diferenciación del self es consolidada por autores sistémicos clásicos, pero poco explorada por investigaciones empíricas, especialmente en Brasil. Este estudio cuantitativo tuvo como objetivo analizar las relaciones entre el funcionamiento familiar y la diferenciación del self de universitarios brasileños.

The relationship between family functioning and differentiation of self has been established by classical systemic authors, but little explored by empirical research, especially in Brazil. This quantitative study aimed to analyze the relationship between family functioning and differentiation of self of Brazilian university students. Eight hundred undergraduates of both genders participated in the research, with an average age of 22.7 years. It was found that students with higher levels of differentiation of self perceived family communication and satisfaction more positively. Tangled families proved to be the least favorable to the differentiation process. It was found that males and older undergraduate students displayed higher levels of differentiation. Finally, university students with higher levels of differentiation, who belonged to families regarded as healthy, were more satisfied...

Los procesos de tutoría y mentoría académicas se han descrito como herramientas relevantes para el desarrollo global y la integración académica del estudiante universitario. Este artículo realiza una revisión bibliométrica de los programas de tutoría y mentoría en universidades brasileñas, entre 1998 y 2013, con el fin de mapear las iniciativas existentes, su configuración, objetivos y principales resultados. Después de la revisión del Banco de Tesis de CAPES, SciELO, INDEXPSI y BVS-Psi, fueron encontradas 31 publicaciones sobre el tema. La mayoría de los trabajos se refieren a estudios cualitativos en el área de la salud desarrollados en el sureste y noreste del país en instituciones públicas. Los resultados indicaron una evaluación positiva de las experiencias de mentoría y tutoría, pero fueron señalados algunos aspectos a considerar en futuros proyectos con el fi...
