“…One such model takes place in a setting which includes individual work with the child before and simultaneous to individual therapy with one of the parents (Nilsson, 2006). Yet other models are characterized by simultaneous therapy with different therapists (Piovano, 2004) or even with the same therapist (Chazan, 2006; Herman, 2005).…”

The approach to therapeutic work with parents in psychotherapy has been described in the literature in various ways but is not well defined. This article will give a short review of four main types of therapeutic work with parents: 1) Meeting to update and to accompany parents (Periodic update meeting with parents complementary to the child's psychotherapy), 2) Parental counseling (guidance), 3) Parent-child therapy (Relationship or dyadic therapy), 4) Family therapy. The claim is made that those approaches, important and effective as they are, do not deal with the parent as a main issue, and do not place enough attention on parenthood. This article offers a model referred to here as Psychodynamic Parenthood Therapy (PPT). PPT is a dynamic therapeutic intervention with parents based upon a contract focusing mainly on working on their parenthood. In general, a parent's negative feelings towards his parenthood or towards his child are some of the basic issues that can be helped by this approach. After clarifying the guidelines for choosing PPT, both the contract and the process itself will be explained. The process deals with parenthood: internalizations, unconscious feelings, intergenerational transmissions and parental identity. In comparison with other methods which do not deal specifically with parenthood, PPT will often lead to a meaningful and effective therapeutic result.

“…In the past, parent work aimed at assessing parental functioning and establishing an alliance primarily to maintain the child's treatment (Glenn, 1987; Rosenbaum, 1994). More recently, however, there has been increased interest in working with parents (Chazan, 2006; Novick & Novick, 2005; Yanof, 2006); this has been influenced by greater understanding of the powerful role that parental attitudes and fantasies play in the child's quality of attachment, capacity for self-regulation, and mentalization abilities (Diamond, 2004; Hesse & Main, 2000; Slade, 2000; Yanof, 2000). Parental attitudes toward the clinician and countertransference reactions that he or she evokes can provide key information about the parent–child relationship.…”

The author reviews some of the unique contributions that psychoanalytic theory brings to the testing of children and adolescents. Although demand for child evaluations has burgeoned in recent decades, the trend is toward atheoretical assessment; test findings are rarely linked to a coherent theory of personality and a developmental framework. The author delineates skills that analytically trained child psychologists bring to the testing situation, allowing them to place clinical observations and results within the context of the child's ongoing development and emerging sense of self. These include recognizing characteristic modes of thinking, relating, and fantasizing during different developmental phases; making meaningful use of transference and countertransference reactions; examining the quality of children's play and narratives; and using the feedback process to help parents contemplate their child's inner life. In conclusion, the author suggests that the testing tradition of Rappaport, Gil, and Schafer is highly relevant for contemporary child evaluation.

“…À travers le symptôme, la famille confie à l'enfant le rôle de porte-parole de dynamiques conflictuelles complexes. Un travail analytique élargi s'est révélé utile pour mettre en évidence le mandat trans-générationnel inconscient (Badoni, 2002), pour retrouver ou créer pour la première fois des moments de syntonie émotionnelle déclencheurs d'une transformation relationnelle plus large (Chazan, 2006) ou pour favoriser la construction d'un lieu imaginaire où cette syntonie pourra naître pour la première fois (Vallino, 2010).…”
