Abstract(s)
O presente estudo teve como objectivo investigar o desenvolvimento
emocional e o estabelecimento das primeiras relações de irmãos gémeos. Foi
realizado um estudo de caso único, sendo utilizado o Método de Observação de
Esther Bick, em dez observações, do terceiro ao oitavo mês. A observação
organizou-se essencialmente em dois eixos: o da relação e o das aquisições dos dois
bebés. Interessa perceber como estes eixos se influenciam e como o papel da mãe e
das figuras de referência são essenciais na sua regulação.
As observações permitiram-nos perceber que, um inicio de maternidade
conturbado, uma insegurança devido à primiparidade e um discrepância entre o bebé
real e o bebé imaginário, podem levar a uma desadequação na interacção desta mãe
com os seus filhos. Nomeadamente na interacção com a gémea do sexo feminino,
que parece menos estimulada por parte da mãe, procurando o outro como forma de
conter as suas necessidades. Pelo medo de ser um espectador na relação com os seus
filhos, a mãe acaba por parasitar a relação dos mesmos, fazendo com que existam
muitas oportunidades de interacção e que consequentemente não se estabeleça a
relação desejada entre irmãos gémeos.
O método escolhido auxilia-nos no entendimento aprofundado destas fases
iniciais do desenvolvimento, de forma intensiva e detalhada, e acredita-se que a
aplicação do Método de Esther Bick, em pesquisa, possa colaborar para conhecer
melhor a realidade das famílias com filhos gémeos, e não só, como forma de propor
intervenções e a prevenir psicopatologias futuras.
ABSTRACT: The present work has the objective of better understanding the emotional development and first relations establishment in twin brothers. The single case study was realized using the Esther Bick Observation Method and was composed by ten observations between the 3rd and 8th months. The observations were organized according to two distinct axis: the relations created between the twins and their developmental acquisitions. The intent was to understand how both axis influence each other and how the maternal and other significant figures contribute to their regulation and development. The observations allowed us to realize that a disturbed early motherhood, the insecurity of a first born, the discrepancy between the child and the mother´s may lead to inadequacy in mother – son relationship, specially the interaction with the female twin, who seems less stimulated by the looking towards other figures as way to contain her needs. The fear of being left out of the relationship between twins drives the mother to interfere in it, in a harmful way and, subsequently, to prevent it from developing healthy. The chosen method allows us a deeper understanding of these early development stages, in a intensive and detailed way, and it’s our believe that its use in this research contributes, not only, to a better knowledgement of families with twins, but also to the creation of psychopathology preventive measures.
