A importância da construção do vínculo materno-infantil a partir da gestalt-terapia

Abstract

The present work sought to investigate, through an integrative literature review, how the mother-child relationship impacts the construction of a new existence and its relationship with the world from the perspective of the gestalt approach. Contemporary motherhood, the new configurations that it raises and the construction of the mother-child bond were approached, based on the Organismic Theory, the Field Theory and the concept of contact. It was possible to notice that the quality of the mother-baby relationship significantly impacts the affective life of this new human being. Mother and son are in continuous movement within a field that allows the satisfaction of both their needs in a healthy way or not, which can promote creative adjustments that will be present in the way this new being relates to the world and with people. It is through this encounter that the baby recognizes itself, recognizes the world and the other. The relationship with its mother is the foundation that structures its psychic and relational basis.
