“…This study offers a preliminary evidence base for CAMHS services to consider targeting parents of disturbed adolescents with the primary aim of helping adolescents who are in difficulty and who are not willing to accept professional help. This study also illustrates the scope of the work undertaken by child and adolescent psychotherapists and provides outcome evidence that supports more clinically based reports (Daws, 1989(Daws, , 1993Klauber, 1998;Rustin, 1998;Tischler, 1979) present in child psychotherapy literature regarding therapeutic interventions with parents.…”

The parenting of adolescents has been the focus of prolific international academic research, but in the UK there has been little attempt to develop clinical services targeted at the parents of teenagers. This article describes setting up a Parent Consultation Service (PCS), provided by child and adolescent psychotherapists, alongside a psychotherapy service for young people. The service is targeted at parents whose adolescents refuse, or fail, to engage in treatment in their own right. The parents of these troubled young people are often left with great anxiety for their children and can be bearing the brunt of their children's emotions and behaviour without any access to sources of help. The PCS utilizes two measures; the Problem Perception Questionnaire and the Stress Index for Parents of Adolescents (SIPA), to provide data about the difficulties experienced by parents and to evaluate the outcome of the service. The results of a statistical analysis of the data show significant changes in parents' perceptions of the problems in their relationship with their adolescent and in the stress levels they experience. A service evaluation survey shows that parents rate all aspects of the service highly. The results are discussed and linked to research on 'authoritative' parenting.

“…There are also contrary opinions, such as that of Brody [6], who questions the function and the role of a TO and considers that its developmental and psychological meaning has been misunderstood. TO use also seems to be influenced by social and/ or cultural factors: it is more common in western countries and urban areas, where children generally sleep alone and do not have close physical contact with the mother in the course of daily activities, than in countries where infants have close physical contact with the mother [9,12,13].…”

Objective: The purpose of the study was to investigate the prevalence of the use of a transitional object (TO) in adolescence and its connection with depressive symptoms and mental distress in youth by gender. Method: The study group consisted of 1,054 adolescents (465 boys, 589 girls) from normal comprehensive schools in Turku, a Finnish town with approximately 175,000 inhabitants. The mean age of both gender groups was 14.5 years (SD 0.5); respondents came from all social classes. Background and TO information was collected with questionnaires. Depressive symptoms and mental distress were explored by the children’s depression inventory (CDI) and its subscales: low self-confidence, anhedonia and sadness. Results: Of all respondents, 29% (n = 285) had a TO: 37% of girls and 18% of boys. The difference between genders was statistically significant. There was also a statistically significant gender difference in the character of the TO reported: 72 % of girls with a TO had a soft toy, whereas 49% of boys with a TO used hard objects, such as pens, hard toys or books. TO-users showed more depressive symptoms than non-users, but the difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.053). Significant differences were found in the CDI subscales: TO-users had more sadness than non-users and girls using a TO showed more sadness than non-using girls. TO-using boys did not differ from non-using boys with regard to sadness or the other CDI-subscales. Conclusions: The use of a TO seems to be common in adolescence. Adolescents with more depressive symptoms more often used a TO. The sadness of girls using TOs requires attention

“…A personalidade da mãe e sua própria história desempenham um grande papel nessa relação com o bebê. Sua infância e seu relacionamento com seus pais, especialmente a relação da alimentação, são extremamente importantes quando ela se torna mãe, começa a alimentar seu bebê e se sente mais ou menos ansiosa sobre suas responsabilidades nesse novo papel (Briggs & Priddis, 2001;Daws, 1989Daws, , 1993Daws, , 1997Daws, , 2008Pinheiro, 2004, Selwyn, 1993Skuse & Wolke, 1992). Fraiberg, Adelson, e Shapiro (1980) mostraram no artigo "Ghosts in the nursery: a psychoanalytic approach to the problems of impaired infant-mother relationship" que quaisquer necessidades não atendidas durante a infância da mãe podem influenciar a maneira pela qual ela responde, no presente, ao seu filho.…”

“…É uma separação não só do seio ou mamadeira, mas também da pessoa com quem o bebê teve a primeira relação íntima, próxima. Além disso, a passagem para a comida sólida também é delicada e merece atenção, pois pode representar um momento para ressignificar os conflitos da relação pais-bebê que surgiram durante a amamentação, como ressaltou Daws (1993).…”

O fantasma adormecido: um trabalho com pais-bebê em uma situação de dificuldade alimentar

A alimentação é, literalmente, uma questão de vida e morte. Infelizmente, dificuldades de alimentação não são incomuns e sempre deixam os pais e profissionais preocupados, por conta do risco da criança não se desenvolver. A teoria psicanalítica tem dedicado atenção ao assunto a fim de entender e oferecer formas de intervir quando necessário. Ela enfatiza que o desenvolvimento infantil pode ser pensado como parte do relacionamento da criança com seus pais. Este artigo pretende refletir sobre os fatores emocionais que, provavelmente, resultaram na dificuldade de alimentação no caso de Felipe. Usarei a literatura psicanalítica, em especial as teorias de Klein e Bion, como norte. A dificuldade de alimentação será endereçada como um sintoma da relação pais-bebê.
