婴儿对父母来说意义重大。他们是愿望和梦想的对象:通过婴儿,父母希望保持最好的自己,并实现他们自己生活中尚未实现的东西。婴儿也可能成为父母心理上最痛苦的秘密的接受者。当这种情况发生时,婴儿成为父母无意识的恐惧,冲动和其他被压抑或否认的部分的载体。本文着重探讨这一现象的一个特殊方面:母亲如何对幼儿进行负面归因,以及这些负面归因如何被孩子内化,并成为孩子自我意识的一个组成部分。母亲和婴儿之间这种亲密的交流过程代表了依恋理论和精神分析之间特别丰富的对话领域。本文有三个主要目标,努力整合这两种理论方法。一个目标是强调依恋理论的临床实践的贡献,通过日益认识到现实生活中的事件,包括与母亲的实际互动,在塑造孩子的内心世界和自我意识的关键重要性。第二个目标是强调附着键所提供的保护功能的临床相关性。儿童初级依恋的质量是婴儿心理健康的一个基本组成部分,通过安全和信任的经验,
BABIES HAVE IMMENSE MEANING for their parents.

Babies can also be the recipients of what is most painfully secret in the parents' psyches. When this happens, babies become the carriers of the parents' unconscious fears, impulses, and other repressed or disowned parts of themselves. This paper focuses on a particular aspect of this phenomenon: how mothers make negative attributions on their young children and how those negative attributions are internalized by the child and become an integral part of the child's sense of self. This intimate process of communication between mother and infant represents a particularly rich area for dialogue between attachment theory and psychoanalysis. This paper has three major goals in striving toward an integration of these two theoretical approaches. One goal is to highlight the contributions of attachment theory to clinical practice through an increasing recognition of the pivotal importance of real-life events, including actual interactions with the mother, in molding the child's inner world and sense of self. A second goal is to underline the clinical relevance of the protective function served by the attachment bond. The quality of the child's primary attachment is a basic building block for infant mental health through the experience of security and trust in the
