The individual’s structure of mind is built on the basis of relationship’s quality each person could have had in his first infancy. Psychopathology and every psychological suffering have their roots in the relationship the baby/child could have had with adults who took care of him. In order to prevent an unhappy destiny for children who grow up in families at risk, a preventive assistance to parents is needed. Taking care for parents cures children by improving parental dimensions. This book describes methods and technics to check families at risk, in order to improve their possibility to produce future good individuals, or to avoid pathological ones. Psychoanalysis, Attachment Theory and Infant Psychiatry are integrated for a preventive general assistance to families.
