Letter from Dresden
In light of the upcoming conference of the European Psychoanalytical Federation (EPF) in Dresden, this letter deals with the eventful history of psychoanalysis in East Germany, especially in the state of Saxony. After a first heyday between 1923 and 1933, marked above all by the early clinical and scientific work of Therese Benedek, the development came to a sudden end with the seizure of power by the Nazis and could not be revived after the Seco…
Being an Infant in a Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing lockdowns might have had a strong impact on mental health of mothers and their infants/toddlers. For example, families had to deal with health issues and social isolation, which might have affected mental health and parent-child interactions. The aim of this study is to evaluate differences in (1) infantile regulatory disorders, (2) maternal mental health, (3) the impact of maternal mental health on infantile…

Exclusion Expected? Cardiac Slowing Upon Peer Exclusion Links Preschool Parent Representations to School-Age Peer Relationships
Attachment theory proposes that children’s representations of interactions with caregivers guide information-processing about others, bridging interpersonal domains. In a longitudinal study (N = 165), preschoolers (Mage = 5.19 years) completed the MacArthur Story Stem Battery to assess parent representations. At school-age (Mage = 8.42 years), children played a virtual ballgame with peers who eventually excluded them to track event-related cardia…
“Our difficult job is to take a unified view of the patient … ” (Winnicott) Psychosomatic work in a children’s hospital
We present our work as psychoanalysts in the interdisciplinary psychosomatic unit of a paediatric hospital. As the starting point for our work we use Winnicott's understanding of the psychosomatic dilemma delineated in his paper on psychosomatic illness in its positive and negative aspects. The central hypothesis is that splitting the medical field into many highly specialized fields can be understood as a display of the psychosomatic patients' i…
Recruitment strategies in a prospective longitudinal family study on parents with obesity and their toddlers
Results revealed that only a combination of different active and passive methods and approaches led to a sufficient sample size. In this study, recruitment via posters and contacting kindergartens on the phone produced the highest numbers of participants (high enrolment yield) at moderate costs
The Worldwide Burden of Infant Mental and Emotional Disorder
Children worldwide experience mental and emotional disorders. Mental disorders occurring among young children, especially infants (birth –3 years), often go unrecognized. Prevalence rates are difficult to determine because of lack of awareness and difficulty assessing and diagnosing young children. Existing data, however, suggest that rates of disorders in young children are comparable to those of older children and adolescents (von Klitzing, Doh…
Implementing the K-Sads-PL as a standard diagnostic tool
Diagnostic interviews are valuable tools for generating reliable and valid psychiatric diagnoses. However, little is known about the diagnostic effects of implementing such an interview into the standard diagnostic procedure of a child psychiatric clinic. Therefore, we reviewed discharge diagnoses of psychiatric patients (age: 8-12 years; combined sample of inpatients and day hospital patients) over two intervals before and after implementing the…
Self-Esteem of 8–14-Year-Old Children with Psychiatric Disorders
Obese parents – obese children? Psychological-psychiatric risk factors of parental behavior and experience for the development of obesity in children aged 0–3
Strengths of the presented study are the prospective longitudinal design, the multi-informant approach, including the fathers, and the observation of parent-child interaction. A limitation is the variation in children's age
Prevalence of Emotional and Behavioral Symptoms and their Impact on Daily Life Activities in a Community Sample of 3 to 5-Year-Old Children
Child and family characteristics as risk factors for peer victimization in kindergarten
The current study investigates whether children’s difficulties (symptoms, verbal ability) mediate the impact of family variables (emotional family environment, parental education level and foreign citizenship) on peer victimization. Teachers and parents completed questionnaires; children completed the Berkeley Puppet Interview and a verbal ability test at the ages of 5 and 6 (N=163). Results show that child and family characteristics independentl…
Cultural influences on early family relationships
Parental capacities for triadic relationships during pregnancy
This study examines associations between parental capacities for triadic (mother-father-child) relationships, assessed prenatally, and the representational and behavioral functioning of their offspring at preschool age. Thirty-eight parental couples were given an intensive psychodynamic interview during their first pregnancy to assess how they anticipated their future parenthood and their relationships as threesomes (mother-father-child). The cap…
Parental psychopathology, marital quality, and the transition to parenthood
This study of 80 expectant first-time parents investigated the associations among marital quality, parental psychiatric disorders, and parents' capacity to form triadic relationships (Triadic Capacity). The results suggest that marital quality as well as maternal and paternal psychopathology affect child and family development as early as pregnancy, when parents prepare themselves to integrate the future child into their relational world
The role of the father in early family interactions
This study investigated the influence of fathers on early triadic family interactions including transgenerational, representational, and interactional dimensions. A prospective longitudinal study was conducted with a nonclinical sample of parents, beginning with their pregnancy, and their firstborn infants. This paper reports the results of the first part of the study that extended to the infant's fourth month of life. The parents' subjective vie…
Child Development and Early Triadic Relationships
A study of early development beginning in pregnancy and extending to the end of the child's first year of life is presented. The aim is to understand the relational processes of early childhood by using the concepts of triadification and triangulation. A prospective longitudinal study was conducted with forty-one parents and their first-born infants. The parents subjective views about their parenthood and the unborn child were systematically anal…
