Abstract:

Psychoanalytically oriented work with children puts the accent on the partnership idea and the specific ways parents and specialists are becoming partners of the child.Therapeutic work has for base the clinical manifestations the way the subject is expressing him or herself, their relations with the objects, the “odd” (strange, unusual) partners. The symptom is becoming central point of the meeting between child and therapist, but it is considered not only under its medical aspect, but also as a specific point of suffering for this particular individual in three principle dimensions – Imaginary, Real and Symbolic. The working conditions, established by the therapist, are the ways the child shall be able to use the presence and the absence, the looks at him, the words. This is not a clinic of monitoring, but a clinic under transfer – clinic of the shared life experience, of the misunderstanding, because no one of the two knows in advance what he/she is putting in this relation, what trait of the Other the child shall take in order to construct him or herself as an individual.
