Resumen

PRAT, Régine. Between too much and too little: the squareness of the circle of paternity. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2008, vol.42, n.4, pp. 125-137. ISSN 0486-641X.

Parenthood is focused here as an identity crisis resulting from the trauma of the perception of the total dependence on the part of the baby on the parents. Parental psychism therefore supposes a deep mutation. In this article the focus will be on the baby’s needs as far as their contradictory aspects: on one hand the need to be protected and contained in a firma manner, and at the same time, the need to be allowed to have his own experiences, without restraining his autonomy. The squareness of the circle or the mission impossible of parenthood will be explored in its aspects of an experience common to all parents, as well as its pathology. The development of the attention skills allows ways of resolution for the paradox, and it reveals itself to be particularly useful as a therapeutic tool.

Palabras clave : Attention; Dependence; Post-partum depression; Parenthood.
