This paper describes a pregnancy and infant/parent program that was developed to provide comprehensive mental health services to families with children under 3 years of age. Because either the infant or parent can be the identified patient, we are able to treat families who define their problems in a variety of ways. The program has four basic premises: (1) the mental health of all family members should be addressed, (2) treatment of family members should be provided with minimum fragmentation of services, (3) the treatment plan must be individualized for each family, and (4) modes of therapy must be changed as the needs of the family change over time. This paper presents the rationale and techniques necessary for integrated services to families with children under 3 years of age. Two cases are presented: one with the infant as the identified patient, and one with the mother as the identified patient. Cet article décrit un programme grossesse et enfadparent développé pour offrir des services complets en matiére de médecine mentale à des familles ayant des enfants de moins de trois ans. Puisque l'enfant ou le parent peuvent tout aussi bien ětre le patient identifié, nous avons pu traiter des familles qui définissent leurs problémes de façons très variées. Le programme part de quatre hypothèses fondamen-tales: 1) il faut aborder la santé mentale de tous les membres de la famille, 2) on devrait traiter les mem-bres de la famille avec une fragmentation de services minimum, 3) le traitement doit ětre individualisé pour chaque famille, et 4) les modes de théapie doivent ětre changés à mesure que les besoins de la famille évoluent avec le temps. Cet article présente le raisonnement et les techniques nécessaires pour offrir des services intégrés à des familles ayant des enfants de moins de trois ans. Deux études de cas sont présentées: l'une avec un enfant en tant que patient identifié et l'autre avec une mère en tant que patiente identifiée.
