As implicações da depressão pós-parto na relação mãe-bebê: uma revisão da literatura.

Abstract

This study was aimed to reflect on the implications of postpartum depression in the mother-child relationship, as this relationship is fundamental to the subjective constitution of each subject. To this end, a review of the psychoanalytic literature on the subject and the appropriation of the film was held "The stranger in me," which illustrates clearly the theme addressed. The text is organized into topics that describe pregnancy in view of psychoanalysis, especially the contributions of the English Donald W. Winnicott work on maternal involvement in meeting the demands of the baby and the importance of good enough a mother of functions and difficulties of becoming a good mother, that depending on the degree of distress, can lead to postpartum depression. The reviewed literature, as well as the long chosen to illustrate this issue, show that the presence of a support network that the mother can tell postpartum period may reduce the effects of maternal depression.
