The article presents a reflexive synthesis based on a research developed at Cali (Colombia) on Family Cohabitation in a poor region of the city. It's proposed a reading from Social Psychology, using as references some elements from Simbolic Interacionism as an interpretative support for a qualitative research. Results suggest the existence of a series of readings on Family coexistence that go across on the construction of reality made by people imply, and that those versions not necessarily are coincident with hegemonic discourses on cohabiting and violence. This way it's opened the possibility of other wider versions on how reality is being constructed, and how to board an important problematic as this. Keywords: Simbolic interactionism, Social psychology, Family cohabitation.
