Parent-infant-psychotherapy and psychoanalytic treatment: contradiction or mutual inspiration?

  • Psychoanalysis and parent-infant-psychotherapy are compared. Although parent-infant-psychotherapy developed from psychoanalysis, it appears at first glance not to be >analytic< with its aim of dealing quickly with the symptoms presented and also with its different setting. The author shows that an analytic approach in understanding the multi-facetted net of relationships between family members and the infant in its >phantasmic interaction< and a consideration of the implication for analysis of the empirical research carried out in conjunction with parent-infant-therapy can lead to a fruitful exchange of ideas. One example of this is research into the correlation between attachment patterns and the processing of conflicts. Furthermore a dialogue between these two disciplines can remind psychoanalysts that a critical discussion of the external circumstances of their methods does not immediately call into question their fundamental approach to therapy: the work in transference on relationship fantasies.
