Résumé : In a short theoretical introduction from a developmental point of view, we describe the dynamics of the first phase of child individuation. We refer to the notions of disillusionment, object use and the capacity for solicitude as well as their possible impasses. In reference to the contributions of the School of Geneva, we insist furthermore on the predominance of pathological projective identification in the infant/parent relationship. These notions seem extremely useful to us in order to understand and describe our clinical work with families. Having analysed the unconscious dimension which exists in infant/parent interactions and the meaning of a symptom in family dynamics, we distinguish, without pretending to be exhaustive, between four psychopathological configurations - which obviously can be interrelated in clinical practice. We conclude with some considerations regarding our therapeutic setting and the levels at which our interventions take place.
