title: [Observation in a familial environment of interactions between very young children and their parents].
abstract: The interaction between very young children and their parents has been undertaken to complete earlier studies made during prolonged observations in the family home. Since 1970, several research workers collected data during fortnightly visits of variable duration. The data is briefly analysed taking into account the presence of the observers. Data was collected from families of patients with psychiatric disease and the results from those who had been seen by a Consultant were compared with those who had seen other workers. The difficulties of the first relationship are emphasised. The future of the work and possible improvements of the method are discussed as well as the educational and therapeutic consequencies.
