Mother Child Relationship

The mother child relationship can help or hinder the social, emotional and intellectual development of the infant. Research has shown that the interaction between mother and child can affect the child’s cognitive development. Research has shown that mothers from the lower socio-economic groups do not stimulate their babies optimally and that this may affect the children negatively. In this study 86 underprivileged mothers from two different cultural backgrounds were asked to describe the ways in which they kept their infants occupied during the first year of their infants’ lives. The differences between the two groups are discussed and recommendations are made.

Coordination Equilibrium

- Approach, by Jacqueline Gotthold The author compares the couple's journey to the incredible and changing currents of a river. First it is rough, then it is slow and majestic; its flow shows the phases of expression, narration, articulation and change of the couple in therapy. Given that all relations are supposedly co-created, dyadic, dynamic, bi -directional and self and interactively regulated, Gotthold maintains that in the couple's treatment it is necessary to understand the miscues that have surfaced during the emergent process of the dyadic system of the co-creation. If all goes well, the couple will be able to understand and to change the dyadic regulatory processes in order to proceed in a "healthy" and co-agreed manner. To maintain her theory the author refers to the contributions of Bebee and Lachman's Infant Research with specific references to the concepts of coordination, equilibrium, and mutual influence systems, on the Study of the Boston Group on transformation and on the notion of implicit relational knowing. Through a clinical example, Gotthold shows how it is possible in couple's therapy, to transform a system from a bi-directional to a tri-directional one. Understanding the bi-directional and self and interactively regulated dimensions of the relationship we are investigating, aids the implicit and explicit and procedural interpretations that are necessary to change the system.

- The author, a German psychotherapist, takes into account similarities between gestalt therapy, object relational theories and infant research. He explores in particular similarities between object relational theories and the therapeutical work of Fritz Perls. In this context the autor discusses concepts like "internal theatre", the therapist as an "additional" other and the contribution of gestalt therapy to the work with the phenomenon of splitting. Bocian then explores the possibles overlaps between the evolutionary models of gestaltpsychology and gestalt therapy with that one of theorists of the infant resarch - in particolar of Daniel Stern - that are realised in the acknowledgment of the social nature of the child and his interaction with the mother.Key words: contemporary psychoanalysis, object relational theories, "additional" other, "internal theatre", splitting, development, infant research.Parole chiave: psicoanalisi contemporanea, teorie delle relazioni oggettuali, altro supplementare, "teatro interno", scissione, sviluppo, /infant research/.
