Abstract

Reviewing the tapes of ten short interventions started between ten months and 24 months of age, we chose some meaningful "now moments," either because parents had pointed them out or because we judged them especially interesting. Parents were self-referring to our service of "transition to parenthood and children development," most of them for speech delay or for being reassured that "everything was going well," especially when birth was difficult and the child underwent early hospitalization in NICU. At the moment of fixing the first visit, we let them chooset who would come: we reviewed the tapes together at the end in most cases. Only two mothers came alone, one with a child born at 380g and one that was trying to have the child recognized by the father. Otherwise, both parents and the child were present, except in a situation where we never saw the child. We considered: the discrepancies between what we consider therapeutic and what parents consider helpful, with special attention to: 1) the main caregiver chosen by the child and the dyadic and triadic arrangements that needed target interventions; 2) the reduced parental availability because of triadic incestual-depressive transaction with or without incest suspicions and the level and quality of possible help; 3) the presence/absence of each parent; and 4) the difference between the explicit and deeper motivation to treatment. We studied proxemic, microactions; change from implicit to explicit knowledge, change in parents' emotional availability, change in couple and triadic situation, and relationship with the therapists as well as our way of intervention.
