About the Author
Cecilia Muñoz Vila is a psychoanalyst and sociologist in Bogotá with many years of research experience working with abandoned and abused children. In 1972 she was appointed advisor to the Colombian Institute of Family Welfare, during which she researched the social system of street children, their lives in protection institutions, and their return to their families which were frequently dominated by abusive and violent stepfathers.
From 1973 to 1983 she was part of a research team engaged in projects with child labour conditions in the country and the city; migrant child workers; rural educational programmes for c0hildren; regional development programmes; recreational activities in the city; and living conditions of the elderly. She has been involved since 1984 with a well-known care institution for children in Bogotá, the Hogares Club Michin (HCM), founded in 1952. She worked at first as advisor to the Board of Directors, then as a member of the Board and director of the research committee. She decided to unify the management of the protection home programmes. In 2000, a battered women’s programme was set up, providing therapeutic assistance to groups of women with their children and helping to protect them from family mistreatment.
In 2004, Muñoz Vila presented a training plan to the professional staff of the three programmes with the aim of coordinating them under a coherent conceptual scheme. The general objective was to train staff in the comprehension of the Meltzer and Harris (1976) model of the relationships and interaction between individual, family and community, in order to establish the nature of the educational role in the programmes, projects and activities of the HCM. In 1989 Muñoz Vila became a member of the Colombian Psychoanalytical Society, where between 1992 and 1998 she taught seminars on Bion, Meltzer, psychoanalytical thought, and clinical histories. She left the Society in 1999 but published several papers in their Psychoanalytical Review. Since 2002 she has been leading seminars at the Javeriana University on psychoanalytical thought, and supervises the final papers of the students. She also participates in research activities with groups of teachers and students on maltreated women, abandoned and abused children, and adolescents.
