Chez les migrants, l'exercice de la parentalité est complexifié par les divergences culturelles et l'inscription de l'enfant dans une filiation psychique. Généralement, les parents s'appuient sur un groupe social pour faire face aux exigences de la parentalité. En situation de migration, cet étayage peut faire défaut. Il existe peu de données étudiant la composition des réseaux de soutien social et, en particulier, les réseaux transnationaux. Cette étude a donc pour ambition d'explorer les réseaux de soutien tant local que transnational des parents migrants, en lien avec le sentiment de stress parental. L'échantillon était composé de 62 parents non cliniques nés à l'étranger et vivant en Suisse. Une méthodologie quantitative et qualitative a été utilisée pour l'analyse des données. Les résultats ont montré que les parents migrants entretiennent un réseau social tant local que transnational. Les primo-arrivants présentent un réseau de soutien local peu développé et un niveau de stress parental plus élevé. La densité du réseau de soutien local augmente avec les années de résidence en Suisse. Parenthood can be a source of stress, especially for parents with young children. For migrants, the task is made more complex by cultural differences and the child's integration into a psychic filiation. Traditionally, parents rely on a social group to help them cope with the demands of parenthood. However, this support may be lacking in migratory situations. The literature in psychology has little data available on the composition of social support networks, particularly for transnational networks. The aim of this study is therefore to explore both the local and transnational support networks for migrant parents with respect to a sense of stress for parents. The sample consisted of 62 migrant parents living in Switzerland, and a quantitative and qualitative methodology was used to analyze the data. The results revealed that migrant parents maintain both local and transnational social networks to cope with the challenges of parenting. First-time arrivals have a less well-developed local support network and a corresponding higher level of parental stress. The density of the local support network increases with the duration of residency in Switzerland. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Access to parenthood is not always easy, and various difficulties can sometimes emerge. Often underdiagnosed, these peri- and post-partum disorders have a major impact on the quality of early interactions. Prevention and fast care are fundamental. In Nancy, France, a mobile perinatal psychiatry team (EMPPer) was created in September 2021 with the aim of "reaching out" to these vulnerable populations with care access difficulties. A clinical case combining precariousness, migration, maternal psychopathological disorders, baby's psycho-affective and psychomotor development trouble is exposed. This article aims to present the multidisciplinary network intervention of EMPPer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cet article se propose de soulever les impasses épistémologiques produites par le développement contemporain du concept de handicap – concept formé dans un rapport étroit avec le contexte sociétal et avec les questions de droits de la personne, plus qu'avec la problématique nosographique et clinique. Dans ce cadre nous investiguons plus particulièrement la notion de handicap mental, entité clinique dont l'histoire classificatoire, au cœur de l'édification de la psychiatrie dès le XIXe siècle, fut particulièrement malaisée. Il s'agit à partir de l'étude de cette trajectoire de contribuer à soutenir l'intérêt de son approche théorico-clinique psychanalytique. Nous réalisons une analyse de l'évolution des conceptions psychiatrique et psychanalytique sur le handicap mental. Nous les discutons en dégageant des pistes de réflexion pour le travail clinique et thérapeutique orienté par la psychanalyse, que nous menons avec de jeunes patients handicapés et leurs parents. Le handicap mental est replacé dans la dynamique historique des tentatives de classification dont il a fait l'objet : idiotisme, idiotie, débilité mentale, handicap mental ou intellectuel... Son étiologie organique avérée ou fortement supposée a originellement maintenu, et continue de maintenir à la marge certains modes de penser cliniques et de traitements psychiques dont l'approche psychanalytique fait partie. Nous discutons et différencions les concepts de « mental » et « psychique » et l'ambiguïté de leurs acceptions. Le « mental handicapé », quand il est réduit à son étiologie neuronale, est envisagé dans une perspective déficitaire, qui relègue au second plan voire rend superflue l'investigation de la vie psychique. Nous rappelons, notamment à la suite de D. Widlöcher, combien la pensée Kraepelinienne faisant dépendre l'indication thérapeutique de l'étiologie supposée est de nos jours dépassée. Ainsi mettons-nous l'accent sur les différences individuelles dans la relation qui se construit entre le jeune handicapé et ses proches et dans l'interaction entre leurs psychés. Les effets de la naissance d'un enfant handicapé sur la construction du sentiment de parentalité, le lien de filiation et le narcissisme parental sont ainsi compris au sein de la dynamique des interactions, réelles et fantasmatiques , qui nécessairement diffèrent en fonction des sujets, parents et enfants. Plus particulièrement, nous envisageons la « situation anthropologique fondamentale » de J. Laplanche comme modèle heuristique pour penser la vie psychique pulsionnelle de l'enfant porteur de handicap et le sexuel infantile qui la constitue, dans l'interaction adulte-enfant, comme chez tout un chacun. Nous faisons l'hypothèse que la rencontre parentale avec un enfant présentant une pathologie handicapante est susceptible de renvoyer d'une manière trop brutale, certains parents, à leur propre « étrangeté », c'est-à-dire à l'inquiétant du retour d'un refoulé ou de modes de pensée primitifs abandonnés depuis longtemps. Cette irruption interne est susceptible de conduire chez le parent à une ré-élaboration fantasmatique relançant la dynamique pulsionnelle chez l'enfant. Dans d'autres configurations cliniques, elle peut susciter chez le parent l'usage de défenses drastiques visant à geler sa propre vie pulsionnelle et celle de l'enfant, ayant pour effet chez ce dernier d'entraver l'effort de traduction des messages énigmatiques, le désir de comprendre et d'inhiber la créativité d'une vie psychique fondée sur la dynamique auto-érotique. La compréhension, l'écoute et la prise en charge cliniques psychanalytiques du patient porteur d'un handicap mental repose sur la reconnaissance fondamentale de son infantile, c'est-à-dire d'un inconscient, d'un sexuel infantile inconscient et permet, dans certaines configurations qui ont pu geler, inhiber ou réprimer la vie psychique de l'enfant, de redynamiser les mouvements pulsionnels. This article aims to bypass the epistemological impasses produced by the contemporary development of the concept of disability – a concept formed in close relation with the societal context and with questions of human rights, more than with a nosographic and clinical problematic - and more precisely with regard to mental disability, a clinical entity whose classification history is particularly difficult, and yet at the heart of the edification of psychiatry since the 19th century. In studying this trajectory, we aim to demonstrate the interest of psychoanalysis's theoretical-clinical approach. We analyze the evolution of psychiatric and psychoanalytical conceptions of mental disability. We discuss them and identify avenues of reflection for the psychoanalytically oriented clinical and therapeutic work we do with young disabled patients and their parents. Mental disability is placed in the historical dynamic of the attempts to classify it: idiotism, idiocy, mental debility, mental or intellectual disability, etc. Its proven or strongly assumed organic etiology originally marginalized, and continues to marginalize, certain modes of clinical thinking and psychic treatments, of which the psychoanalytical approach is one. We discuss and differentiate between the concepts of "mental" and "psychic" and the ambiguity of their meanings. The "mentally handicapped" subject, when reduced to their neuronal aetiology, is considered from a deficit perspective, which relegates the investigation of psychic life to the background or even renders it superfluous. Following in the footsteps of D. Widlöcher, we point out that Kraepelin's thinking, which made the therapeutic indication dependent on the supposed aetiology, is now outdated. We therefore emphasize the individual differences in the relationship that develops between the young disabled person and his or her family, and in the interaction between their psyches. The effects of the birth of a disabled child on the construction of the feeling of parenthood, the bond of filiation, and parental narcissism are thus understood within the dynamics of interactions, both real and fantasized , which necessarily differ according to the subjects, parents and children. More specifically, we consider J. Laplanche's "fundamental anthropological situation" as a heuristic model for thinking about the psychic life of the child with a disability and the infantile sexuality that constitutes it, in adult-child interaction, as in everyone else. We hypothesize that the parental encounter with a child presenting a handicapping pathology is likely to send some parents back to their own "uncanniness," that is to say, to the disturbing return of a repressed or primitive way of thinking abandoned a long time ago, coming from their own "internal foreign land." This internal irruption is likely to lead to a re-elaboration of the parent's fantasies, re-launching the child's drive dynamics. In other clinical configurations, it may prompt the parent to use drastic defenses aimed at freezing his or her own and the child's drives, with the effect of hindering the child's efforts to translate enigmatic messages and their desire to understand, and inhibiting the creativity of a psychic life based on auto-erotic dynamics. Psychoanalytic understanding, listening, and clinical treatment of the mentally handicapped patient is based on the fundamental recognition of the infantile, i.e. of an unconscious, an unconscious infantile sexuality; the psychoanalytic approach allows for, in certain configurations that may have frozen, inhibited, or repressed the child's psychic life, a revitalization of the drives.

Cette étude s'intéresse aux comportements associés au maintien du lien versus à l'interruption du lien entre le(s) enfant(s) et leur père incarcéré en se basant sur le discours de ces derniers. Pour éclairer cette analyse, nous avons mobilisé un cadre théorique de référence « éthogénique » qui vise à expliciter les règles culturellement partagées et les buts qui orientent les comportements. Ainsi, 13 pères incarcérés, ont été, dans le cadre d'un programme de soutien à la parentalité, interviewés en groupe à propos du lien qu'ils entretiennent avec leurs enfants depuis leur incarcération. Les discours recueillis permettent de distinguer les logiques d'actions favorisant le maintien de ce lien (volonté de « conserver son identité de père », de continuer à « répondre aux besoins d'ordre affectif de son enfant » ou de « faire-face aux conditions carcérales ») versus celles engendrant l'interruption de ce lien (volonté de « préserver l'image paternelle », de « ne pas exposer leur enfant à la réalité de l'univers carcéral », de « préserver les ressources familiales » et de « se focaliser sur leur processus d'adaptation à cet univers »). D'une manière générale, cette recherche a permis de mettre en évidence des dynamiques d'actions susceptibles de faire obstacle au maintien de ce lien, dynamiques d'actions sur lesquelles il est possible d'agir, en milieu carcéral, dans le cadre d'actions de soutien au rôle parental dont de nombreuses études soulignent d'ailleurs les effets positifs notamment en termes de réinsertion des détenus et de prévention de la récidive. This study investigates behaviors related to maintaining or interrupting the bond between incarcerated fathers and their child(ren), based on their narratives. To shed light on this analysis, we employed the "ethogenic" theoretical framework, which aims to elucidate culturally shared norms and goals that guide behaviors. In this context, 13 incarcerated fathers were interviewed as part of a parenting support program regarding their relationship with their children since their incarceration. The collected narratives distinguish between the logics of actions favoring the maintenance of this bond (the desire to "preserve their identity as a father", to continue "meeting their child's emotional needs", and to "cope with the prison conditions") versus the logics of actions leading to the interruption of this bond (the desire to "preserve their paternal image", to "shield their child from the reality of the prison environment", to "preserve family resources", and to "focus on their adaptation process to this environment"). In general, this research has highlighted action dynamics that may impede bond maintenance, dynamics that can be addressed within the prison setting through parenting support initiatives. Numerous studies emphasize the positive effects of such initiatives, including inmate rehabilitation and recidivism prevention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 2016, the city of Clichy-sous-Bois introduced a cross-disciplinary collaboration with local actors, parents and professionals, with the aim of implementing an early prevention and parenting project (PPEP’S). But what does it mean to support parenthood and work with parents in a disadvantaged neighbourhood in 21st century France? It is this question, with its anthropological, social and political implications, that we would like to address in this article. Here we take up the voices of professionals working in popular neighborhoods (Chêne Pointu and Chêne Étoile) in Clichy-sous-Bois, both of which are marked by poverty and social and health insecurity. This situation complexifies the task of the professionals, particularly in terms of the posture to have when faced with a reality which, although structurally known by the various institutions and other public actors, nevertheless retains its share of uncertainties, misunderstandings and even incomprehension.

Since the 1980s, there has been a growing anti-vaccination movement in English-speaking Canada created by a small number of people with alternative understandings of health and medicine, and by parents who believe their children were harmed by vaccination. The anti-vaccination movement of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries was fuelled by growing concerns about environmental toxicity, skepticism about the motivations of the pharmaceutical industry, neo-liberal ideas about health that encouraged patients to take health and health care in their own hands, and the intensive parenting styles characteristic of late twentieth century Canada. To combat vaccine hesitancy, it is vital to understand the arguments of those opposed to vaccination, which are often far more complex and nuanced than the pro-side would like to admit.

L'objectif de cette étude est d'investiguer le niveau de stress parental durant l'hospitalisation de leur nouveau-né prématuré au service de néonatologie pendant le premier confinement (de mars à mai 2020) et d'explorer son association avec la construction du lien parent-nouveau-né. Cinquante-deux parents, soit 20 pères et 32 mères du service de néonatologie de quatre centres hospitaliers universtaires – CHU (Toulouse, Nantes, Tours et Paris), ont complété en ligne une série d'échelles : l'échelle de stress parental : unité de néonatologie (PSS-NICU), le Questionnaire Périnatal de l'état de stress Post-traumatique (PPQ) ainsi que l'échelle Mother-to-Infant Bonding (MIBS). Nos résultats saillants ont mis en évidence des niveaux de stress modérés pour les mères mais aussi pour les pères, avec une prédominance de l'altération du rôle parental. Les mères présentaient de premiers signes de stress post-traumatique et une difficulté plus marquée dans l'établissement du premier lien par rapport aux pères. Ces résultats sont discutés à la lumière de la littérature existante et des perspectives cliniques sont proposées afin de palier à ces difficultés. The aim of this study is to examine the perceived parental stress levels during the NICU hospitalization of the premature infant during the first lockdown and to analyze its relationship with the construction of the first bond. Fifty-two parents, that is 20 fathers and 32 mothers completed online the following scales: the Parental Stress Scale: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (PSS-NICU), the Perinatal Questionnaire of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PPQ) along with the Mother-to-Infant Bonding (MIBS). Main results showed that stress levels are moderate both for mothers and fathers, with a predominance of the parental role alteration; mothers exhibit post-traumatic symptoms by as well as a more complicated construction of the first bond. These findings are discussed as per to existing literature and clinical interventions are recommended. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cette étude vise la réalisation d'une analyse systématique des études menées sur le trouble du spectre de l'autisme (TSA) et l'attachement. Nous explorons la possibilité pour les enfants avec un TSA d'établir une relation d'attachement sécure avec leur principal donneur de soin, comparativement aux enfants neurotypiques. Au regard des connaissances actuelles sur le TSA et l'attachement, nous nous attendons à ce que le TSA constitue un facteur de vulnérabilité dans la construction d'un attachement sécure. Nous faisons également l'hypothèse que la présence d'une déficience intellectuelle associée potentialise les risques pour les enfants avec un TSA de développer un attachement insécure comparativement aux enfants présentant un TSA sans déficience intellectuelle associée. Nous avons recensé sur les bases de données suivantes, PsycInfo, Pubmed, Francis et Pascal, les études portant sur les types d'attachement des personnes avec un TSA. Vingt-trois articles ont été retenus pour notre analyse. Leur analyse montre que, globalement, les enfants avec un TSA semblent plus sujets à développer un attachement de type insécure. On observe une surreprésentation du type désorganisé–désorienté renforcé par la présence d'une déficience intellectuelle. Cependant, le risque de développer un attachement insécure n'est pas vérifié dans l'ensemble du corpus et ces observations ne sont pas toujours scientifiquement valides (parfois il n'y a pas de statistiques inférentielles car trop peu de sujets ; parfois, les résultats ne sont pas statistiquement significatifs). Par ailleurs, nous avons pu mettre en évidence une forte hétérogénéité dans les indices retenus dans les études (par exemple, caractéristiques de la population incluse ou encore mesures de l'attachement), qui peuvent biaiser l'interprétation de ces travaux ou tout du moins ne pas les rendre généralisables. Il convient de poursuivre les recherches en définissant avec plus de rigueur la population d'étude afin de minimiser les biais dans ces dernières (niveau de langage, efficience intellectuelle, théorie de l'esprit, présence ou non de comorbidités, etc.). Les travaux à venir devront permettre de mieux appréhender les liens entre TSA et fragilisation de l'attachement qui nous semblent plus complexes et multifactoriels que ce que les premiers travaux ont pu mettre en avant. The purpose of this study is to conduct a systematic review of studies conducted on autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attachment. We explore the possibility for children with ASD to establish a secure attachment relationship with their caregiver compared to neurotypical children. Given the current knowledge on ASD and attachment, we expect that ASD is a vulnerability factor in the construction of secure attachment. We also hypothesize that the presence of an associated intellectual disability potentiates the risks for children with ASD to develop insecure attachment compared to children with ASD without associated intellectual disability. We identified on the following databases, PsycInfo, Pubmed, Francis, and Pascal, studies on attachment types in individuals with ASD. Twenty-three articles were selected for our analysis. Their analysis shows that, overall, children with ASD seem to be more likely to develop an insecure type of attachment. There is an over-representation of the disorganized/disoriented type reinforced by the presence of an intellectual disability. However, the risk of developing an insecure attachment is not verified in the whole corpus and these observations are not always scientifically valid (sometimes, there are no inferential statistics because too few subjects; sometimes the results are not statistically significant). Furthermore, we were able to highlight a strong heterogeneity in the indices used in the studies (e.g., characteristics of the population included or measures of attachment), which may bias the interpretation of these studies or at least make them impossible to generalize. Further research is needed to define the study population more rigorously in order to minimize bias in the research (language level, intellectual efficiency, theory of mind, presence or absence of comorbidities, etc.). Future work should allow us to better understand the links between ASD and attachment fragility, which seem to us to be more complex and multifactorial than what the first studies were able to put forward.

La place de l'enfant dans notre société a largement évolué au cours des dernières décennies. Cela s'est traduit par de nombreuses politiques publiques visant à lutter contre les inégalités sociales de santé dès le plus jeune âge. Le soutien à la parentalité est l'une des stratégies mises en place et vise notamment à renforcer les liens d'attachement et à favoriser le développement de l'enfant. La qualité de l'attachement et des interactions parents–enfants est corrélée aux représentations que les parents ont de leurs enfants. L'objectif de l'étude est de rapporter les représentations actuelles des parents sur les nouveau-nés dans la population française en général. Dans le cadre de l'étude PERL, une étude annexe a été menée sur les représentations parentales. Les entretiens ont été réalisés auprès des familles témoins. L'analyse s'est basée sur la méthode des catégories conceptuelles pour faire ressortir les éléments saillants relatifs aux représentations parentales et aux sentiments associés à la parentalité. Parmi les discours analysés, les parents ont construit leurs représentations de leur enfant, dès les 4 mois de l'enfant. Ces représentations identifient l'enfant de 4 mois comme étant capable de faire des choix, d'avoir des préférences, d'agir dans l'environnement et de communiquer avec les autres. De plus, la représentation que les parents ont d'eux-mêmes met en évidence les divers sentiments éprouvés à l'égard de la parentalité, de l'exercice de ce nouveau rôle et des nouveaux comportements parentaux envers l'enfant, suite à la perturbation de l'exercice de la parentalité. Les parents éprouvent également divers sentiments associés à la parentalité, à l'exercice de ce nouveau rôle. The child's place in our society has largely evolved over the past few decades. This has led to numerous public policies to tackle social inequalities in health care from an early age. Parenting support is one of the enhanced strategy actions and aims put in place, in particular, to strengthen the bonds of attachment and promote a child's development. The quality of attachment and parent–child interactions is correlated with parents' representations of their children. The objective of the study is to report current parental representations of newborn children in the French population in general. As part of the PERL study, an ancillary study was conducted on parental representations. The interviews were conducted with the control families. The analysis was based on the method of conceptual categories in order to bring out the salient elements relating to parental representations and feelings associated with parenthood. Among the analyzed discourses, parents have constructed the representations of their child, from the child's age of 4 months. These representations identify the 4-month-old child as being capable of making choices, having preferences, acting in the environment, and communicating with others. In addition, parents' representations of themselves highlighted various feelings experienced concerning parenthood, the exercise of this new role, and the new parental behaviors towards the child, as a result of the disruption of being a parent. Parents also experienced a variety of feelings associated with parenting, parenthood, and their new role. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present study aimed to describe how resilience manifests itself in mothers responsible for families in situations of poverty. To this end, qualitative research was carried out, with 13 participants divided into two focus groups: more and less poor. The average age was 35 years for participants in the poorest group and 44 years for mothers in the least poor group. The average income of the poorest group was approximately half that of the less poor group. Data collection occurred at Social Assistance Reference Centers in Belém and the Federal University of Pará, respectively. The focus group method was used to collect data. The results showed that family resilience materializes in caring for children, mothers, and other subjects in the participants' lives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper explores the impacts of the transition to parenthood on the relationship between (from a Bourdieusian perspective) habitus and field in social reproduction. The paper is based on a longitudinal study of white middle-class gentrifier households in Amsterdam before and after childbirth. The study reveals the disruptive (as well as re-configurative) impact of parenthood as transition, even for this relatively privileged group (in terms of legitimated habitus and spatial discretion and mobility). Our findings strongly suggest the highly gendered nature of this transition, and also reveal the significance of spatial dimensions of this gendered experience – from embodiment all the way through to changing relationships in urban space. These impacts suggest parenthood as a distinct 'field' of social struggle and emphasise the significance of gender and spatial experience in understanding habitus-field relations, alongside the more acknowledged temporalities of social reproduction.

Psychological maltreatment against children can take many forms and constitute a form of intrafamilial violence with major short- and long-term consequences on the victims' lives. Psychological violence is the type of intrafamilial violence the most frequently self-reported by parents, beyond physical violence (minor and severe). The COVID-19 pandemic, specifically the mandatory lockdown periods, has even more isolated the victims of child psychological maltreatment from the outside world. The main objective of the present literature review is to portray the existent knowledge on psychological maltreatment in the COVID-19 pandemic context, especially regarding the lockdown. The variables of interest are: definition of psychological maltreatment, risk factors, intrafamilial violence during the pandemic and the impacts on the child welfare system. By enhancing the understanding of the repercussions associated with COVID-19 on psychological maltreatment, it will be possible to better identify risk factors and families at risk in the eventuality of a resurgence of sanitary measures or of a similar kind of crisis in the future. It will then be possible to limit the consequences associated with psychological maltreatment on the development and the mental health of victims of child psychological maltreatment.

If giving birth is a choice, the human offspring cannot survive but when one or more adults ensure their survival until a certain age, according to physiological and cultural factors. These adults are typically the ones who gave birth to the child, and their function is to fulfill what is commonly referred to as parenting. Based on their experience as a consultant in an institution where children, deemed adoptable by the court or recommended by social services, awaited an adoptive family, the author discusses several questions arising from situations where the child's desire for parent(s) and the adult's right to parenthood come into conflict. After commenting on the field of adoption, the author highlights the diverse situations encountered in relation to specific forms of parentality: teenage mothers, assisted reproductive technologies (ART), gestational surrogacy, "new families," older mothers, and co-parenting. The author emphasizes how each of these situations requires us to keep the child's best interest at the forefront of our reflections and decisions, starting even before their birth and throughout their development.

Offrir une éducation adéquate pour son enfant est un souci quotidien pour la plupart des parents. Certains d'entre eux finissent par adopter des comportements surprotecteurs en pensant bien faire. L'objectif de cet article est de proposer une revue de la littérature s'intéressant à cette problématique. Dans la première partie, sont précisées la définition de la surprotection parentale ainsi que les implications négatives que celle-ci a sur le développement de l'enfant et de l'adolescent. Puis, sont abordés les différents facteurs propres au parent et à l'enfant qui peuvent favoriser l'adoption de comportements surprotecteurs. Enfin, dans la dernière partie de l'article, une attention particulière est consacrée aux facteurs macro-contextuels qui permettent de mieux comprendre cette forme de parentalité contemporaine. La surprotection parentale serait notamment influencée par les injonctions sociétales concernant la « bonne » manière d'éduquer un enfant, la situation socioéconomique des parents ou encore, leur perception du monde extérieur. Providing a good education for their child is a daily concern for most parents. Some of them end up adopting overprotective behaviors, thinking they are doing well. The objective of this article is to provide a brief literature review on this topic. In the first part of the article, the definition of parental overprotection and its negative implications for children's and adolescents' development are exposed. Then, the various child and parental factors that may elicit overprotective behaviors are discussed. Finally, in the last part of the article, special attention is devoted to the macro-contextual factors that allow for a better understanding of this form of contemporary parenting. In particular, overprotective parenting may be influenced by societal expectations regarding how to raise children well, the socio-economic situation of the parents and their perception of the world outside.

Food allergy is a growing public health problem. This increase in prevalence has notably led to greater awareness of the burden of living with a food allergy, particularly the emotional, social and financial problems it causes. In the clinic, the speech of patients' parents often revolves around the feeling of loneliness and incomprehension of those around them, the need for control and hypervigilance. Although several studies have recently been published on the impact of food allergy on quality of life, data on the mental health of patients and families remains fragmentary and vague. A qualitative study has been carried out within the Pediatric Pulmonology and Allergology at Robert-Debré Hospital in order to assess the parental psychosocial impact, and anxiety in the case linked to the child's food allergy, in the form of a focus group. These group times allow families to discuss and discuss the impact of this disease, which is often trivialized even though it requires major life adjustments (eviction diet, emergency action plan, potential hospitalizations in intensive care). The objective of this workshop is to present this multidisciplinary research work (hospital practitioner, psychologist, therapeutic education nurse) and to allow us as caregivers to better understand parental difficulties in order to offer ever more qualitative follow-up for these vulnerable families.

Étudier le processus de parentification à partir du matériel issu d'une psychothérapie chez une patiente suivie en Centre Médico-Psychologique (CMP). Le matériel clinique fait l'objet d'une analyse thématique, une analyse de la dynamique du transfert et du contre-transfert étayée par une réflexion théorique. L'histoire infantile de la patiente est marquée par un renversement générationnel, des imagos parentales envahissantes, des dynamiques identificatoires narcissiques, des relations familiales incestuelles, un couple parental et conjugal dysfonctionnel, une dynamique fraternelle où la parentification de l'aîné (notre patiente) est au premier plan, ainsi qu'une possible transmission intergénérationnelle ou transgénérationnelle de la parentification. Son choix professionnel s'oriente vers un métier de soin. La psychothérapie psychanalytique a permis un meilleur insight, des changements au niveau des imagos parentales et des changements dans la relation aux autres (conjoint, enfants, fratrie, collègues). L'analyse clinique de différents thèmes, l'exploration tridimensionnelle du processus de parentification (intrapsychique, intersubjectif et transubjectif), ainsi que celle de la dynamique transféro-contre-transférentielle nous ont permis de montrer des changements au niveau du fonctionnement psychique de la patiente, de mettre en évidence la nature de l'empreinte de la parentification, ainsi que son élaboration dans la thérapie. La psychothérapie psychanalytique a été utilisée comme méthode d'investigation (des processus conscients et inconscients et d'évaluation du processus de parentification) et également comme méthode de traitement psychothérapeutique. Cette recherche expose la reconstruction de ce qui s'est passé au décours d'une psychothérapie psychanalytique, en ayant comme fil conducteur la problématique de la parentification et de son élaboration, mettant en évidence les éléments cliniques dégagés grâce à l'analyse de la dynamique transféro-contre-transférentielle. The purpose of this article is to highlight the imprint of the parentification process in a patient in the context of a four-year psychoanalytic psychotherapy, through the analysis of the parentification process in its intrapsychic, intersubjective, and transsubjective dimensions. After the end of the therapy, the psychotherapist returns to the material, which involved a patient who presented a depressive disorder and a parentification process during their childhood. We analyzed different themes related to parentification: infantile history, parental imagos , identifying dynamics, parental couple and conjugality, siblings, family functioning, choice of professional career and the relationship to work, and finally, a possible intergenerational or transgenerational transmission of parentification. We observed changes to the patient's subjective suffering: better insight, changes in parental imagos, and also changes in the relationship with others (partner and children) as a consequence of an elaborative process around her parentification. In this case, parentification appears as a response to the traumatic infantile parental perception, as a defensive organization, as a survival solution organized around the symbiotic relationship between the child and the sick parent and, later, in relationships of great dependence with her spouse or her children. Throughout the psychotherapy process we observed: a childhood story marked by a generational reversal, an invasive parental imago , narcissistic identificatory dynamics, a parental couple characterized by dysfunctional conjugality, a special place in her siblings, a familial functioning marked by confusion between roles and generations, a professional choice in the field of care, a potential intergenerational or transgenerational transmission of parentification, and finally a dysfunctional parenthood over several generations. The narcissistic dimension of parentification observed in this patient seems to be linked to the omnipotent position vis-à-vis her "failed" parents, which activates a megalomaniacal narcissism and a heroic masochism. For the psychotherapist, the method of treatment and the method of research overlap. The work of writing this case of psychoanalytical psychotherapy allows for new reflections in its aftermath, other elaborations on the material of the sessions, and a tridimensional exploration of the process of parentification: intrapsychic, intersubjective, and transubjective. We underscore the contribution of the clinical elements revealed by the analysis of the transfer/counter-transference dynamics in the process of deparentification. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The work proposes an investigation into prematurity from a phantasmatic and unconscious point of view. Prematurity frustrates the narcissism of the parental couple and requires anchoring to a good internalized object; it can put the parent in crisis, recalling negative aspects of internalized parental figures; the parental couple may project onto the child negative aspects relating to the parental couple or sibling, especially when the parenting scenario, constructed by the couple, is of the narcissistic type. Premature birth can also be read as a "catastrophic change" that alters the container-contained relationship. This change can be read both as the result of some containment difficulties on the part of the couple, but also as a disruptive factor that can lead to the rupture of the relationship between the parents. The theme of prematurity is associated with twins, since it is not uncommon for a twin pregnancy to end in a premature birth. Through the synthesis of a case, seen in consultation, in which twinning and prematurity overlap under the banner of the unexpected, hypotheses are made on the experiences of the parental couple starting from the material acquired during the consultation.

Although primarily a practical matter in a family, coparenting is strongly modified by the existing culture and surrounding society. The development of coparenting, especially in its early stages is highly affected by existing gender ideologies, work cultures and family policies. Despite the widely agreed importance of socio-cultural embeddedness of coparenting, less is known about the interplay between coparenting systems and wider social and policy contexts. This study analyzed how existing work and family policies and underlying sets of values and beliefs frame the meaning, form, and construction of coparenting during early parenthood. To better understand how the sociocultural context frames the construction of coparenting, a critical interpretive synthesis (CIS) method was applied for searching, sampling, analyzing, and synthesizing the coparenting literature. The interpretative review process included the following phases: a broadly defined search strategy, applying systematic inclusion and exclusion criteria, and conducting a descriptive mapping and an in-depth process analysis and synthesis of all the selected articles (N = 24). The review yielded three frameworks, in which new parents construct their coparenting in diverse socio-cultural contexts: gender equality, family solidarity, and social support. The studies falling into these frameworks see the effects of the form of the coparenting relationship (parents only/parents plus) and the role of institutional support (high/low) and cultural and religious beliefs (high/low) on coparenting differently. The literature synthesis indicated that coparenting is a dynamic system in which parents and other parental figures adopt culturally appropriate practices and roles when taking care of children. These findings, which broaden the dominant western-centered perspective on coparenting, can be used in the development of family policies, services, and coparenting programs for today's diverse, global multicultural families.

This article approaches the resonances of maternal madness in the subjectivation of a daughter from a case study. We worked with life history and a dialogue was carried out with the subjectivation processes and self-care practices. Narrative interviews were thematically analyzed to organize the results: the resonances of maternal madness in the subjectivation processes; the self-care as a transforming horizon in the subjectivation processes; the work of subjectifying a transgenerational legacy; and the elaboration of the mother as a reference of motherhood. Among the results, the following stand out: the presence of ambivalent affections; the inconsistency of the maternal physical presence and psychic availability; and the development, on the part of the interviewee, of care practices aimed at herself and at the other. A trajectory marked by violence, issues of race, gender and class, social and economic difficulties that intensified the condition of psychic suffering. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Unlike the mother-daughter bond, the father-daughter relationship has received little attention in eating disorders (ED). This study with clinical-qualitative method aimed to understand how parents of young people with ED experienced the bonds with their parental figures during childhood/adolescence and, later, with their wives and daughters. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five parents whose daughters were in treatment. The results were analyzed using the Clinical-Qualitative Content Analysis and the Psychoanalysis of Linking Configurations. The fatherdaughter relationship was marked by affective closeness in childhood, although with little involvement in caregiving tasks. The affective distancing, starting in the daughter's pubertal period, contributed to weaken the paternal bond. The results provide subsidies for the inclusion of fathers in the treatment.

Using four rounds of nationally representative U.S. panel survey data (NLSY97) and fixed-effects models, this study examines whether and how transitions to marriage/cohabitation/parenthood are associated with gender-specific changes in meal-skipping patterns. Two theoretical perspectives, social control and time scarcity, provide different explanations of how family formation relates to meal skipping. However, empirical research examining the association using a nationally representative sample is scarce. Results indicate that the transitions to romantic relationships (either marriage or cohabitation) are associated with less frequent meal skipping, consistent with social control theory, but in ways that differ by gender. The transition to marriage is associated with reduced meal skipping only for men, whereas the transition to cohabitation is associated with reduced meal skipping to some extent for women. The transition to parenthood has distinctive consequences for women’s meal patterns. Specifically, having two or more children at home is associated with increased meal skipping only for women, which can be explained by the time scarcity perspective. This study reveals that the consequences of family formation on health-related behaviors are gender specific and not universally positive, highlighting women’s persistent role as the primary caregiver for the family.

For many families, COVID-19 has disrupted students' higher education experience. To better understand how COVID-19 has not just impacted students but family systems, in the current study, the ABC-X model of family stress was applied to college families. The COVID-19 pandemic created stressors for college families (A), which impacted families depending on the resources available to them (B), and how the families understand and perceive these stressors has impacted students' college experience (C). For college students and their families, an outcome of working to respond to these stressors could be delaying graduation, or changing academic plans (X). During October and November 2020, 3,932 parents of college students across the United States, representing more than 75 institutions, completed a 15-minute online survey. Findings revealed that families and students were differentially impacted by COVID-19, in the family stressors they experienced, and also in their academic stressors. What is particularly important in these data is that families matter—when families were supported, students did better and when parents reported a greater negative impact of COVID-19 they also reported students were less likely to maintain their graduation plans and more likely to change their academic plans. Incorporating a family lens into future research on college students is critical for advancing the field and supporting student success. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This two-stage mixed-method study pulls the literature of domestic outsourcing and intensive parenting together to investigate the role of employing live-in domestic helpers in the time-use patterns of household labor among working parents in Hong Kong. In the first stage, regression models are used to analyze data from a representative household survey of working parents (N = 791). Regression results show that working parents who hire live-in domestic help spent less time in housework. Yet, the reduction in housework time was partially offset by the managing tasks brought about by the use of live-in help. Working parents with live-in helpers also spent significantly more time on childcare than did working parents without such help. To interpret the regression results, the study draws on qualitative data from in-depth interviews (N = 20) to unpack the meaning of hiring help and its relationship with the notion and practices of parenting. The findings highlight that the use of live-in domestic help is a specialization strategy to strive for perfection in parenting for parents who juggle work, childcare and household chores. By outsourcing household chores and more routinized childcare tasks to the helpers, working parents, especially mothers, can focus on emotional bonding and tasks conducive to the development of their children.

Teenage parenthood involves a dual transition to adulthood and parenthood. A small-scale phenomenon, there remains a gap between statistical reality and social perception. The media and politicians take up the issue as a synonym for socio-psychological difficulties. The literature points in particular to the consequences of these maternities on the future of mothers, children and their relationships. However, some studies qualify the literature by identifying different types of teenage pregnancy and parenthood profiles., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.)

Le nombre d'enfants adoptés en France ou à l'international diminue depuis 2004, avec des enfants caractérisés par un âge plus élevé, des fratries, un vécu de ruptures plus nombreuses et des pathologies physiques, développementales, comportementales et/ou psychologiques nécessitant des soins plus ou moins durables, qui préoccupent les parents adoptants. Les médecins peuvent être sollicités en préadoption sur un dossier d'enfant ou pour des conseils de pédiatrie générale. Ils peuvent aussi évaluer cliniquement et par des examens complémentaires un enfant récemment arrivé. Ils sont également interrogés par des parents dont l'enfant adopté présente des troubles somatiques et/ou psychosociaux pendant ou après la période de transition, et en particulier lors des questionnements identitaires de l'adolescence. Cet article a pour but de donner des moyens de compréhension et de prise en charge des situations de consultations d'enfant adopté que le praticien peut rencontrer. Les pathologies le plus fréquemment observées à l'arrivée sont des infections intestinales et cutanées, des malnutritions et des troubles psychocomportementaux. Certaines infections et intoxications potentiellement graves et rares sont dépistées systématiquement (tuberculose, hépatites virales, syphilis, virus de l'immunodéficience humaine, etc.) ou selon les facteurs d'exposition au risque (paludisme, alcoolisation fœtale, saturnisme, etc.). Une évaluation de l'immunité vaccinale et un rattrapage éventuel sont nécessaires précocement. Au cours du suivi, les motifs fréquents de consultation sont la dynamique de croissance, l'incertitude de l'âge, des troubles développementaux (motricité, langage, sommeil et/ou alimentation), des troubles psychoaffectifs et de l'attachement et la puberté avancée. La connaissance des problématiques actuelles de l'adoption est nécessaire et permet d'éviter d'attribuer n'importe quel symptôme à l'adoption. Il existe des consultations d'adoption multidisciplinaires (pédiatres, pédopsychiatres, psychologue en lien avec un réseau de spécialistes) dans la plupart des régions de France et des pays d'adoption qui sont des centres de référence pour répondre aux situations complexes.

This article seeks to understand the modern-day value of children to middle class Indian parents. It examines parental strategies aimed at raising successful children by providing them with the best education possible. These strategies, involving 'concerted cultivation' and gendered 'educational labour', are analysed in relation to schooling and preparation for a highly competitive national entrance exam, for admission to an elite engineering college in the country. Describing and analysing the classed and gendered nature of these strategies, the article explores the shifting nature of returns that middle class parents expect from their grown children. As the article shows, gendered burdens and class location of parents are crucial in shaping the value of children. Mothers across class contribute disproportionately to children's educational training and highly educated mothers are withdrawn from the labour market to immerse themselves in educational labour. Ironically, educated mothers' own educational inputs remain invisible even to themselves, resulting from an acceptance of culturally constructed norms around the gendered division of labour. Family strategies are oriented towards aspirations of upward social mobility, a return that parents seek to derive from educationally and professionally successful children. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Suite à un agir d'homicide sur leurs enfants, nous avons rencontré trois femmes hospitalisées pour préserver la répétition d'un acte d'autolyse. Comme nombre de parents dans notre contexte sociétal, elles se sont reconnues dans la notion de « parentalité bienveillante ». Ces passages à l'acte interviennent suite à une annonce similaire, celle qui renvoie à l'enfant cassé. Nous proposons ici une lecture psychocriminologique de l'agir filicide dans un contexte de parentalité bienveillante à partir du concept du double. This paper describes three women who, following acts of filicide and attempted suicide, had been hospitalized to reduce suicidal risk while in detention. À similar event preceded all three homicidal acts: the implementation of an additional medical, educational or paramedical support, or the failure to do so. We questioned their parenting in relation to social discourse around positive parenting. These women described having imagined an "ideal child" which was free of poor transmission and who would restore them in return. In an environment where separation from their romantic conjugal partners was not an option, the women viewed their child as "broken" and resorted to action. This led us to the hypothesis that the mother-child relationship referred to the concept of double; this latter was first reflexive and supporting but disrupted the maternal psyche and its unrecognized obscure zone with the announcement of the child being « broken ».

The object of study of this essay is the protection of children and adolescents in the face of parental abuse, focusing on the effectiveness of psychological interventions in judicial lawsuits. Law and Psychology have joined forces in an attempt to prove the necessity of multidisciplinarity through demonstrations of early and late psychological interventions with completely different results. A reasonably new problem, since it is through the Divorce Law (BRASIL, Law 6.515/77) and the Federal Constitution of 1988 that the necessity for a new specialization, Family Law, was born. In tandem, Psychology had a consistent rise in recognition in 1972 through the implementation of the Federal Council of Psychology (BRASIL, 1962). With them being considered new sciences, there was a need to investigate whether the lack of scientific recognition of both sciences could be the reason for the damages children and teenagers experienced, lacking support to their needs. The first case experienced from 1981 to 1988 was methodologically compared with the second, from 2018 to 2021. We surveyed data from reliable institutions and brought testimonies from abused children, now adults, transcribed from the following documentaries, both publically available on the internet: "A Morte Inventada (2009)" and "O Amor Que Tu Me Tinhas". From these, it was demonstrated that although we have evolved substantially in terms of legislation, the object of study (children's permanence in harmful environments) does not offer the expected protection, as will be shown. However, our hypothesis demonstrates that qualified and (obligatorily) preemptive psychological intervention can drastically reduce the damage and trauma to children and adolescents.

Dans les sociétés occidentales, la filiation est une construction sociale et juridique. Deux formes de filiation coexistent, la filiation classique qui, en principe, s'appuie sur l'engendrement biologique, et la filiation adoptive, pure construction juridique. La filiation s'est longtemps référée au modèle sexué père/mère. En France, le législateur du XXe siècle et celui du XXIe ont tenté d'adapter les règles régissant le droit de la filiation aux nouvelles techniques de procréation, ainsi qu'à l'évolution du désir d'enfant, quelle que soit la composition de la famille. La loi du 17 mai 2013 (dite mariage pour tous) a ouvert l'adoption aux couples de personnes de même sexe. La loi bioéthique du 2 août 2021 permet à un couple de femmes de devenir mères toutes les deux, par reconnaissance conjointe : une maternité de 3e type a été créée, sans accouchement ni jugement d'adoption. Mais l'assistance médicale n'est pas ouverte aux couples d'hommes, ni a priori aux personnes transgenres. La référence au sexe est constante : si le mot sexe est référencé à trois reprises dans le code civil, articles 57 (acte de naissance), 61-5 (modification) et 143 (mariage pour tous), le mot genre, lui, n'y figure pas. Notre construction juridique de la filiation n'a donc pas appréhendé la question du genre apparue récemment. L'article 57 impose la déclaration du sexe de l'enfant dans son acte de naissance à l'état civil. La loi française du 18 novembre 2016 a prévu la possibilité de changement de sexe à l'état civil (C. Civ. articles 61-5 à 61-8), sans obligation de traitement hormonal ni d'intervention chirurgicale. La loi prévoit que la modification de la mention du sexe est sans effet sur les filiations établies avant cette modification, mais rien pour l'après. Or, si la fonction sexuelle d'engendrement a été conservée par la personne transgenre, la question qui se pose est de lui reconnaître – ou non – une parenté genrée telle qu'elle la revendique. La Cour de cassation a rappelé que la loi française ne connaît pas le « parent biologique ». La solution concrète consisterait à remplacer les termes « né de père et mère » dans les actes de naissance, par « fils ou fille de... ». Mais l'assignation d'un sexe à la naissance est-elle justifiée ? Un arrêt de la Cour constitutionnelle belge du 19 juin 2019 a censuré la loi belge du 25 juin 2017, relative au changement de sexe à l'état civil, parce qu'elle se limite à un choix binaire et qu'elle prévoit que le choix fait lors du changement de sexe est irrévocable. In Western societies, filiation is a social and legal construct. Two kinds of filiation exist, classical filiation, which rests in principle on biological engendering, and adoptive filiation, which is a purely legal construct. Filiation has long referred to the sexualised father/mother pattern. In France, twentieth- and twenty-first-century lawmakers have sought to adapt legal regulations on filiation to new reproductive techniques and to evolving wishes to have children, regardless of the family makeup. The law of 17 May 2013 (introducing "marriage for all") opened up adoption to same-sex married couples. The bioethics law of 2 August 2021 allows each partner in a female couple legally to become a mother through joint recognition: a third type of motherhood is thus created, which does not involve giving birth or an adoption order. Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is not open to male couples nor a priori to transgender persons. Legislation regarding filiation includes references to sex designation: the word "sex" appears three times in France's Civil Code: articles 57 (birth certificate), 61-5 (sex change) and 143 ("marriage for all"). In contrast, the word "gender" does not appear. Our legal construction of filiation does not address gender, a notion that has appeared more recently. Article 57 makes the designation of sex mandatory when a child's birth is registered. French legislation introduced on 18 November 2016 allows people to change the sex recorded on their birth certificate (Civil Code articles 61-5 to 61-8), without obligation of hormone treatment or sex-change surgery. The 2016 law considers that the change of sex has no effect on previous filiations, but does not address future filiations. Yet, if a transgender person has retained the sexual possibility to procreate, the question arises whether their wish to establish a gendered parentage should be recognised. Case study: On 16 September 2020, the Court of cassation examined the following affair: Mr X and Mrs Y were married in 1999 and gave birth to two children. In 2011, a court ruling allowed Mr X to obtain a change of sex on the civil register, while keeping their male sexual organs. In 2014, the couple had a third child. The genitor, now Mrs X, signed a pre-natal acknowledgement of parentage as a "non-gestational mother". The civil registrar refused to transcribe this recognition. The Court of cassation ruled in favour of this refusal, recalling that under French law a mother or father cannot be designated as "biological parent" in the civil registry and that it is not possible to establish a double maternal filiation (except in the case of adoption or, henceforth, through joint recognition of a child born of assisted procreation). Moreover, the child's best interest is preserved since their filiation may be established with both parents, enabling the third child to have the same filiation as their brethren born before the registration of sex-change. In a separate case, two men, one cisgender, the other transgender, registered the birth of a baby girl born of the transgender partner. The practical solution consisted in replacing "born of father and mother" on the birth certificate by "son or daughter of". Yet, is sex assignation at birth justified? On 19 June 2019, a ruling of the Belgian Constitutional Court censured the Belgian law of 25 June 2017 allowing the civil registration of sex-change for limiting this possibility to a binary choice and considering it irrevocable.

Le premier référentiel de certification de service dans le domaine du soutien à la parentalité destiné aux officines a été rédigé par l'association Initiative pharmacie amie des nourrissons. Dans le cadre d'une démarche qualité, les équipes officinales volontaires sont guidées pour monter en compétence en matière de maternage proximal. Elles peuvent ainsi proposer un accompagnement attendu par les jeunes parents et par l'ensemble des professionnels intervenant auprès d'eux afin d'assurer la continuité des prises en charge. The first service certification standard in the field of parenting support for pharmacies has been written by the Infant-Friendly Pharmacy Initiative association. Within the framework of a quality approach, volunteer pharmacy teams are guided to increase their competence in proximal mothering. They can thus offer the support expected by young parents and by all the professionals working with them to ensure continuity of care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study was a point of departure for future research on the need for a coherent understanding and knowledge of parenting in Bangladesh. This article presents the findings from an integrative research review on parenting in Bangladesh. A comprehensive search conducted in PubMed, Science Direct, and PsychINFO using the keywords "parenting", "childcare", "motherhood", "fatherhood", "mothering", "fathering", each paired with "Bangladesh" yielded 246 articles. Twenty papers published between 2006 and 2018 were selected for thematic analysis based on pre-set criteria. In most studies, the term mother was used interchangeably with parent, with mothers regarded as the primary caregiver. Parenting in the Bangladeshi context was found to be conceptualized primarily in terms of attitudes, disciplinary practices, feeding, parent–child interaction, and psychosocial stimulation. Parenting components aimed at moral development and attachment building in children were underrepresented. The data revealed largely inconsistent and uncoordinated discussions of parental practices, demonstrating the lack of a holistic approach in the literature in Bangladesh. Research on parenting in Bangladesh favors gendered assumptions of females as the primary caregiver. Based on their findings, the authors recommend qualitative studies to better reflect and conceptualize the concept of parenting in Bangladesh. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
