Da atuação precoce à reconstrução de vínculos: a mediação familiar como ferramenta sistêmica de prevenção no sistema multiportas

Abstract

This study proposes a multidisciplinary analysis of mediation in the resolution of family conflicts, with the objective of demonstrating that family mediation, when implemented at an early stage, constitutes an effective instrument for the pacification of disputes and the preservation of affective bonds. The research distances itself from a reductionist perspective of mediation as merely a method of judicial dispute resolution, advancing the argument that the mediator functions as an agent of relational transformation and contributes to the prevention of future conflicts. The methodology adopted is bibliographic and qualitative in nature, grounded in an in-depth examination of primary and secondary sources, including legal documents, doctrinal works, and scholarly articles. The investigation further engages with the Broken Windows Theory, transposing its logic to the family sphere to support the claim that early intervention curtails the proliferation of problems. Moreover, the study addresses the MultiDoor Courthouse System, which legitimizes mediation as a mechanism of access to justice, as well as Murray Bowen’s Family Systems Theory, which enables a more humanized interpretation of conflicts. The research concludes that family mediation, by addressing disputes in their initial stages, prevents profound and enduring harm, strengthens family ties, and fosters social peace.
