✦ Synopsis
This article addresses itself to helping psychiatrically disturbed fathers from repeating their pathological pasts on their infant children (0-3). The mother-infant dyad is uniquely reached via the father so that the bonds of human attachment can be protected and/or preserved. This is paralleled by focusing on the social and emotional problems and adjustments of both parents. The 0-3 year old is made a live interview participant. This seems to insure a positive opportunity for their unfolding cognitive and object-related development to develop more healthfully. Their infantile behavior gives license to their parents to realize therapeutically their painful personal memories and makes material which was previously considered irretrievable, available for intervention and possible change.
