A vivência da sombra na relação fraterna feminina: um caminho para a individuação

Abstract

The aim of this work is to understand the dark experience among female siblings bond, checking also the sister´s relevance in woman´s individuation process. Therefore, the jungian concepts and systemic approach have been used as base to analyze fictitious experiences shown by the movies in three stories: The Wedding Date , In her Shoes and Mystic Pizza . The methodological choice has been made based on theoretical verification that relationship among female siblings brings up several feelings and members of sisterhood tend to guard themselves or attack each other on their speeches, but the authors tend to be more authentic regarding their feelings in their work compared to biographies. In this analysis, it has been verified that this unique bond provides better conditions for the shadow to act out, but it depends on the ego´s structure which allows a better or worse shadow integration, fostering family and sibling´s pattern changes, or keeping up with rooted patterns
