“…Mahler [1979] considered individuation during the toddler period to be reflected in the success with which the child asserted his or her indi viduality from parents. This achievement was thought to affect the life-long construction of the self.…”

A relational perspective on adolescence is presented as a model for understanding the origins of psychosocial competence. Changing qualities of the parent-child relationship during adolescence which involve increased symmetry of influence are examined, and individual differences in adolescents’ identity formation and role taking skill are linked to differences in their experience in the family. A model of individuation, which involves qualities of individuality and connectedness in relationships, is presented and used to account for individual differences in adolescent development. Findings from other studies of individuation and of family socialization are cited in support of the view of the origins of psychosocial competence in family experience.

“…This opposition and the resulting low uptake of testing is thought to be a result of a high prevalence of enmeshed family structures and its effects on the separation-individuation process. This concept of separation-individuation refers to an intra-psychic process that infants go through in early childhood ending their symbiotic relationship with their mother (Mahler 1963). A second separation-individualization phase begins in adolescence and is generally regarded as a transition of major importance in the family life cycle (Daniels 1990).…”

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is an umbrella term for a heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative disorders that are characterized by changes in cognition, language, personality, and social functioning. Approximately 40% of individuals with FTD have a family history of dementia, but less than 10% have a clear autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. However, establishing a clear mode of inheritance in FTD is complicated by clinical heterogeneity, variable expression, phenocopies, misdiagnosis, early death due to other causes, missing medical records, and lost family histories. Mutations in the microtubule-associated protein tau and progranulin genes have been reported in the majority of hereditary cases, making genetic testing of at-risk individuals possible. The first step in counseling a family with a history of FTD is to take a comprehensive family history with confirmation of any diagnosis in a family member with medical records to the extent possible. If the pedigree analysis suggests an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance, genetic testing of an affected relative may be offered to the family to determine if a mutation is present. If a mutation is found, relatives interested in pursuing genetic testing should be referred to a genetic counselor familiar with genetic testing for neurodegenerative disorders. Predictive testing of unaffected and at-risk relatives should only be offered in the context of a comprehensive genetic counseling protocol offering pre- and post-test counseling and support. One survey of at-risk individuals in a large family with FTD found that 50% were interested in testing. In one study actually offering genetic testing for FTD, the rate of uptake of testing was only 8.4%. A more recent study estimated the uptake for testing for FTD to be somewhere between 7% and 17% and attributed the low uptake to family resistance to testing. While genetic testing may be appropriate for some families with Alzheimer's disease and FTD, uptake of testing may be expected to be low.

“…Para o autor, seriam plenamente refutáveis as premissas teó-ricas da existência de um período de autismo normal ou período simbiótico descrito por Mahler 11 , decorrentes do estado de incapacidade quase absoluta e indiferenciação do recém-nascido defendida por Winnicott 12 e Spitz 9 . Também lhe parecia refutável a defesa do papel essencial que a mãe tem em promover a diferenciação progressiva rumo aos estado de independência relativa 12 -ei-la aqui de novo!…”

Rev Bras Crescimento Desenvolv Hum. 2007;17(3):160-171 Sandra A N Nunes, et al. 160Rev Bras Crescimento Desenvolv Hum. 2007;17( Resumo:As interações físicas e afetivas estabelecidas entre progenitores e seus descendentes vêm sendo rediscutidas na ciência psicológica, em virtude de contribuições recentes oferecidas pela Psicologia do Desenvolvimento Evolucionista (PDE). Pretende-se, no presente artigo, fazer uma revisão das teorias clássicas e contemporâneas que trataram de explicar os fatores implicados na gênese, no desenvolvimento e na função das interações precoces entre filhos e mães e pais. Buscar-se-á estabelecer as modalidades de vinculação em diferentes espécies, a partir de uma abordagem evolucionista, até se chegar à conduta de apego e à sua contraparte, o comportamento parental, em sua dinâmica normal e patogênica, na espécie homo. A psicopatologia do vínculo mãe-bebê, em especial a depressão puerperal, será analisada tendo como pano de fundo a contradição entre as características biológicas da espécie e as exigências culturais que as sociedades industrializadas impõe à mãe e ao pai, destacando papel que o investimento paterno e aloparental assumem no desenvolvimento favorável do bebê e, conseqüentemente, no reestabelecimento da puérpera Palavras-chave: Interação social. Apego. Comportamento parental. INTRODUÇÃOAs interações sócio-afetivas entre indiví-duos e os mecanismos envolvidos na formação do vínculo mãe-bebê, em especial, constituem uma área de interesse compartilhado por diferentes áreas da ciência.Foi de Charles Darwin 1 , com a obra "The expression of the emotions in man and animals", o mérito de, originalmente, desvendar as raízes comuns das expressões emocionais de algumas espécies animais e de explicitar as expressões especiais do homem, como o sofrimento e choro ("Special expressions of man: suffering and weeping") e, mais particularmente, de explicar o valor adaptativo do grito e do choro em filhotes ("The screaming and weeping of infants"). Os frutos dessa obra renderam trabalho, durante o século seguinte, para diversas disciplinas científicas que foram se dife-*
