BRITO, Claudia Vannozzi and NAFFAH NETO, Alfredo. Multiple transferences and management of the setting in consultations with parents in child and adolescent treatment. J. psicanal. [online]. 2018, vol.51, n.95, pp.119-134. ISSN 0103-5835.
Consultations with parents are extremely important to obtain good results in the treatment of children and adolescents. This article aims to discuss the technical issues involved in these consultations, such as the multiple transferences between parents, analyst, and patient, and the management of the analytical setting. Therefore, a brief history of the psychoanalysis of children will be presented, in which we observe different technical postures according to the theoretical reference used. Then, concepts of the psychoanalytic technique will be approached, such as transference, countertransference and setting management. It is worth mentioning that this article is based on Donald Winnicott's theory of maturation, which describes the importance of the environment for the mental health of children and adolescents.
Keywords : psychoanalysis of children and adolescents; consultations with parents; psychoanalytic technique; transference; countertransference; setting.
