Abstract:
In this case study, a seven months old girl and her parents were seen for psychoanalytical infant-parent-therapy over the period of about two years – the primary reason for psychotherapy were the girls’ regulatory disorder and limitations in both affective and motor/verbal development. The focus of the case presentation is on how the infant-parent therapy focus shifted towards a focus on the couple and couple therapy to support the parents to work through their separation and loss issues so that the little baby girl’s difficulties could be lifted. The weaning of the baby from mother’s breasts and the little girl’s »terrible two«-behaviors towards becoming an autonomous person were aspects of the work which highlighted how couple and family dynamics with respect to separation and loss within the family affected the child and how working through these enabled a strengthening of the infant-parent relationship and more balanced parent-child interactions.
