Abstract

RIBEIRO, Fernanda Schmitt; ZORNIG, Silvia Maria Abu-Jamra  and  KONICHECKIS, Alberto. Narcissistic transmission and transmission of difference from a case of transmission in a family with triplets. Nat. hum. [online]. 2018, vol.20, n.2, pp. 51-70. ISSN 1517-2430.

This research was constituted by the accomplishment of a case study. An observation of infants was performed using the Esther Bick Method, where a mother who conceived a multiple pregnancy of triplets by Assisted Reproduction Treatment was followed up. This study aims to demonstrate how the observer could lend herself to projections, welcoming the anxieties of the mother and others in that environment. This work shows in particular the possibility of preventive action through this method, because the presence of the observer awakens the processes of self-reflection, while at the same time making them continents. In considering these points, this article then demonstrates how, in this case, a form of fragmented psychic transmission has emerged, in which each triplet is the subject of projections and different family identifications.

Keywords : psychic transmission; Esther Bick method; triplets; maternity; case study.
