GOLSE, Bernard. Father-Mother-Baby Joint Psychotherapies: Triumph or Floating Adrift?. rev.colomb.psiquiatr. [online]. 2008, vol.37, suppl.1, pp.63-77. ISSN 0034-7450.

Introduction: Psychoanalysis is a living body, therefore allowing modications to the setting that extend psychoanalytic practice to patients with ages and pathologies that differ from classical ones. In the eld of early interventions, the so-called "psychoanalytic" treatment of babies has been flourishing in the last years. Development: The author ponders on the pertinence of the term "psychoanalytic" regarding father-mother-baby joint psychotherapies,even as he reviews its fundamental principles in this paper. Thus, the following elements are exposed and discussed: the setting, the analysis of resistance, of transference and countertransference, the topic dimension, and verbalization versus interpretation.Conclusion:The author concludes that our current knowledge does not allow us to answer the question introduced by the title. He underscores, however, that derivatives of psychoanalysis are not comparable to floating adrift and that only an honest and rigorous metapsychological attitude can tip the scale to the side of triumph.

Keywords : Joint psychotherapies; setting; resistance; transference; verbalization; interpretation.
