Le dispositif de vidéo-feedback en protection de l’enfance. Un outil pour stimuler la fonction réflexive des assistants familiaux et des parents naturels

Environmental stress is a key element to the understanding of the psychopathology of children in foster care. Such children often present a wide range of symptoms from anxiety to depression, including abnormal behaviors in their interactions with adults that can be related to experience suffered in their family of origin (e.g., abandonment, abuse, etc.). Foster care should provide a safe environment, both to protect children from abuse and to help them build a well-adjusted developmental trajectory. The relationships with the family of origin may also be maintained. How do children in foster care behave in relation to caregivers given the differences between the families they grow up in? This study focuses on three adult-child relationships: those with a foster carer, a mother and a father. Each adult-child interaction was recorded several times in a day-to-day environment. On each occasion the instruction was given to behave naturally while interacting with a child. No additional material was supplied. Our observations concern the verbal and non-verbal comportment of a 4-year-old foster child named Julia when entering the study, with her caregivers. Once the principal elements had been coded (behaviors, verbalizations), a sequential behavioral patterns analysis was performed using the THEME© program. For this purpose, a 2-min interaction was chosen from the third video of an event which appeared particularly representative of the relationship between Julia and her different caregivers. According to whom Julia was with, the results reveal very different interactive processes. We observe, for example, that with the foster carer the interaction patterns were primarily focused on play objects, whereas they involved more collaborative activity with the father and distraction/avoidance behaviors with the mother. The study identifies the use of disengaging and self-exciting behaviors in all types of interaction. Those emotion regulation strategies are particularly developed during parent–child sessions, showing pathological processes of relationship.

La période périnatale est propice aux réaménagements psychiques et à la rencontre avec divers spécialistes de la grossesse et la naissance. Les visites à domicile périnatales constituent une intervention précoce et préventive auprès de familles qui se trouvent en situation de précarité. Leur contexte de vie et le stress qu’il génère peuvent entraîner des troubles de la relation parents-enfant et du développement de l’enfant. Cet article se base sur la littérature du travail à domicile en périnatalité et décrit la pratique des services d’accompagnement périnatal (SAP) mis en place en Belgique francophone. Ces services proposent aux mères qui vivent dans la précarité une aide à domicile dès la grossesse en relation avec le réseau psycho-médico-juridico-social de la région où elles vivent.
