PERGHER, Daniel Nardini Queiroz  and  CARDOSO, Carmén Lúcia. The experience of learning in the observation of mother-baby-family relation. Psyche (Sao Paulo) [online]. 2008, vol.12, n.23. ISSN 1415-1138.

The aim of this article is to follow the development of the observer’s role, through the analysis of parts of the observing sessions of the mother-baby-family’s relationship. Mother-baby observations were done once a week during one and a half year, according to Esther Bick method. All the observations were transcribed right after the end of the sessions and they constitute the bulk of main analyses of this investigation, based on psychoanalysis. The analyses highlight some transformations on the observer’s role. Marked by a more critical and interventionist behavior in relation to the family, heading towards reflection and curiosity, aided by supervisions, implied, as we realizes, the capacity to reflect on lived life-experiences that favored the emergence of a new contact with the family.
