- Abstract
Objective: to present and reflect on the articulation between the Attachment Theory, Symbolic Interactionism and Grounded Theory in the study of bonding and interaction between caregivers and institutionalized children. Method: the data were collected between April and July 2015 through intensive interviews, structured observation and a field diary, at a shelter institution that welcomes children between zero and eight years old in a city in the South of Brazil. Fifteen caregivers and six children participated in the research. Results: the Attachment Theory and Symbolic Interactionism permitted understanding the implications of the establishment and rupture of bonds and the strategies the caregivers use in this interaction. The Grounded Theory guided the elaboration of the theoretical model "Perceiving the work/care for institutionalized children". Conclusion: the articulation among the Attachment Theory, Symbolic Interactionism and Grounded Theory demonstrated its consistency for the study developed, contributing to care in the context of children's shelter.
