Genèse et Enjeux Épistémologiques De La Psychologie Clinique Périnatale

Abstract

The recent exploration of the origins and epistemological issues in perinatal clinical psychology requires a reminder of the matrix source of clinical psychology which is defined by its purpose double-sided : - exploring the psychic reality of everyday conscious / unconscious, subjective / intersubjective situation of the subject in its individual forms / in groups, «normal» / «pathological » ; - the practical implementation of devices suitable for meetings intersubjective observation containing processuality associative verbal / nonverbal, focal / free and making sense subjectivating its phenomenology and its dissociative or inhibitors conflicting constraints. The clinical methodology of this psychic reality is inseparable from its implementation in all cross-players. So the first face of the object of clinical psychology will be the exploration of perinatal daily psychic reality conscious / unconscious, subjective / intersubjective situation of the subject (again) become a parent, carer and be born as human forms «normal» / «pathological», individual, couple and group. The attention to opportunities for parents and caregivers to benefit from intimate, private and institutional environment for the metabolism of the amplification of the verbal and nonverbal associative processuality (especially somatic) biopsychic transformations inherent in the parentalisation and its holding, is the second face of the object of the perinatal clinical psychology The heuristic promise of perinatal clinical psychology is discussed.
