“…This internal world is influenced by early experiences between the parent-infant dyad. Winnicott [8] describes such experiences as the infant conjuring up a utopian-like object that completely satisfies his needs, especially when excited, and if the "good enough" mother meets the needs of this conjured object, an illusion is created, where the infant believes that he has created the object himself. The repetition of these omnipotent hallucinatory wishes and their realization by the parent leads to a true self from which the reality of pain and loss can be met.…”

“…Further, cross-cultural research indicates that the different values placed on family relationships mean that a secure attachment, as defined by the strange situation test, might not be positioned as the gold standard for child adjustment cross-culturally [11]. However, a mother who is interested in the narrow world of the child and is able to believe in the intensity of the child's feelings is placed to support and guide the child when the child is overwhelmed with affect [8]. Here, the parent scaffolds the development of the internal mental states of the child's inner world.…”

This entry delves into the parenting literature and reveals the complexities, perspectives, and multiple expressions of parenting challenging childhood behavior that distress or negatively impact the parent-child relationship so that we can better understand how to support families who are struggling to cope. The entry specifically focuses on the period of transition to school for children aged five to eight years. This transition can illuminate vulnerabilities previously hidden as children attempt to navigate the demands of their unfamiliar environment, meaning that parents can experience distress and emotional challenges. The entry explores the various expressions of relationally challenging behavior and comments on the intersectionality and reciprocity of explicit and implicit expressions of affect such as frustration and anxiety. To gain context, the entry examines common antecedents associated with relationally challenging behavior, such as academic comparison, forming friendships, hidden neurodiverse development, neglect, attachment dysfunction, and family conflict. Qualitative literature enriches understanding and identifies problems such as parental distress related to social stigma and minority stress and reveals specific struggles, including stress, related to homeschooling children with special educational needs, homeschooling during the recent pandemic, single parenting, grandparenting, parenting neurodiverse children, and the triangulated tensions that exist between the parent, the child, and the school. Holding in mind these diverse and context-orientated perspectives, this entry examines research that evaluates helpfulness and illuminates deficiencies of popular structured parent programs. Lastly, the entry identifies and illuminates the need to know more about the ways in which parent programs work, and it is anticipated that this new knowledge will help practitioners to better respond to the complexities of need and expectations of families who struggle to cope with relationally challenging behavior.

“…This mother craft, even though described for the divine child, is applicable to the mother–child relationship in any part of the world and in any culture, which would avoid various relationship problems in later life, so well described by Winnicott, Bowlby, Sigmund and Anna Freud, and others.

Vaishnavism, the other important Hindu tradition besides Saivism, gained importance by the Bhakti movement sprouting from the Tamil land in the 7th–9th centuries Common Era and spreading all over the subcontinent, and as preached by the Alvars, which is discussed along with the evolution of the Godhead of Lord Vishnu is briefly mentioned. The maternal care of the divine child Sri Krishna by Yashodha as described by the Alvar, Perialvar, is summarized. The mysticism of Nammalvar and the religious experiences of other two Alvars, Kulasekarar and Andal, are sketched in this study.

“…Desde seu surgimento, a MBE tem se desenvolvido e hoje é uma questão central na pratica da saúde em vários países, sendo utilizada muitas vezes pelo governo como critério para investimento de recursos financeiros, além de estabelecer os guidelines para a tomada de decisão em saúde. Nesse sentido, Winnicott ( /1945) utiliza como exemplo a questão da delinquência para demonstrar a importância da utilização do método científico na lida com infratores, pois, para o autor, a menos que o problema da delinquência seja estudado como uma ciência, a intuição não prevenirá que médicos e outras pessoas digam e façam todo tipo de coisa no momento em que é necessário tomar uma decisão, por exemplo, na corte juvenil.…”

O futuro da psicanálise: uma busca por evidências?

Vários países já adotam o modelo da Medicina Baseada em Evidências para definir a forma como seus gastos na área da saúde serão direcionados. Caso um procedimento ou tratamento não tenha sua eficácia comprovada através de métodos experimentais que tenham acompanhado um número suficiente de pacientes, seu uso não é recomendado ou aprovado. Nesse cenário, a psicanálise enfrenta a dificuldade de apresentar seus resultados em grande escala na forma como esse modelo de ciência exige. Neste artigo, tomo como guia as ideias de Winnicott para apresentar as críticas de diversos outros autores sobre esse tema, de forma a discutir sua aplicabilidade. A conclusão é ampla, haja vista que o próprio Winnicott não tem uma posição clara sobre o assunto. Porém, sendo a busca por evidências uma questão que diz respeito à saúde pública, e não somente ao futuro da psicanálise como ciência, devemos nos esforçar no sentido de aperfeiçoar as pesquisas em psicanálise para além da análise individual de pacientes.
