Abstract

ZORNIG, Silvia Maria Abu-Jamra. Becoming a father, becoming a mother: the process of construction of parenthood. Tempo psicanal. [online]. 2010, vol.42, n.2, pp. 453-470. ISSN 0101-4838.

The main objective of this paper is to analyze the main concepts in the construction of parenthood, based on the psychoanalytic notion that the process of becoming a parent begins long before the birth of the child. Nevertheless, the article intends to stress the fact that if the transition to parenthood is a process initiated during the parents childhood, the birth of an infant can produce an irreversible change in the parental psychic, helping them to reevaluate their own infantile history.

Keywords : parenthood; parental ghosts; infancy.
