6 - CAN FOETAL LIFE BE CONSIDERED AS A FIRST STAGE OF PSYCHIC DEVELOPMENT
Roberta Stefanetti
This study aims at clarifying the psychobiological
relationship between mother and foetus, and
its repercussions on the normal and psychopathological
development.
The first part reviews
1) how psychoanalysis tries today to describe
the nature of foetus’ experiences on the base of
the phylogenetic fund and the maternal surrounding,
as well as the psyche formation
2) the embryological and biological main discoveries
of the last 30 years.
Following the psychoanalytical method of free
associations during daily sessions of three
hours, how it’s performed in micropsychoanalusis,
leads the analysand, starting from a certain
moment of the analytical work, to verbalise some
particular experiences.
Because of the great associative consistency of
124
these verbalisations, and their correspondence
to the facts described by the embryological and
biological knowledge, they appear as referring
to the trials left in the psyche by the very first
psychobiological interactions mother-foetus
and the intra-uterine experiences. This correspondence
of data considerably reduces the
hypothetical character of the interpretation, and
enables to replace it with a process of real reconstruction,
based on the material of the sessions,
whose associative working-through has significant
clinical repercussions.
These results can enlighten the consequences
of foetal experiences on adult life and indicate
that foetal life can rightfully be considered a
stage, defined by its own erotogenic zone, by its
own specific drives, wishes, and defences,
beside the three Freudian stages of the psychic
development.
