FAMILY

The Family is very important for all people; its responsible for
the mental health of human beings. Its what determines a
healthy Society. The baby starts a Dyadic relationship with the
mother in uterus, through the umbilical cord and after birth,
through breastfeeding. Until the child can tell that they are two
people: baby and mother. At first everything is very confusing the
baby; if doesnt know if the mother is part over itself, if it really
exists. Only later, after this, if the mother allows, will exist a
Triadic relationship: baby, the mother and the father. In modern
days the family lost its very identity, they are mostly
pathological. Many modern parents think the school should
educate them simply because they pay, because these fathers
and mothers work during the day for the sustenance at home,
mothers are professionals in the job market. People killing are,
setting fire to other people; Corrupt Politicians; Life in today is
worth very little.
According to Frenchwoman Elisabeth Roudinesco, Historian,
Psychoanalyst, Teacher, renowned author with several books of
our time, has published: The Family in disarray, which says that
the family needs to be reinvented, appropriate to the modern
world, but it cannot end. Because its the cell responsible for the
psychological health of human beings, future Families and
consequently the Society as a whole.
There are many controversies about modern families with two
fathers or two mothers, formed by homosexual relationship. Still
is too early to know what will come of them. Only in the future,
in our Clinics we will find the answers to such a situation. If

properly structured, formed by healthy people emotionally, can

certainly work properly.
There are cases where the Family is Pathological and through
Healthy Defense Mechanisms, as Altruism, Compassion,
Benevolence, Sublimation, Compensation; a child seeking help
can overcome all this and be emotionally healthy, creative and
reinventive.
The healthy Family is one that has no grief or unresolved losses.
This is what I think about the FAMILY.
