title: [Mistaken fathers.].
abstract: This article is an outcome of studies carried out in the laboratory of Research on Fatherhood, founded by the author, and it constitutes an introduction to questions related to fatherhood. Starting with the hypothesis of the existence of a normal identification crisis in the father during the period of the child's birth, the author identifies elements of that crisis that will reactivate intra-psychical conflicts. He underlines the need to recognize the problems related to fathers and suggests that the representation for the father along with its historical, social and cultural context has an influence in the crisis resolution.
