Les émotions (autour) du bébé

The birth of a baby, already ready for intersubjectivity, evokes multiple emotions in their parents first, then in professionals. How to welcome, read, and transform these emotions (ours, theirs...)? Because it is indeed in the quality of sharing emotions with and among the adults around them that this intersubjectivity of the young child emerges, and it is in the gaze and desire of the other that the subject is constructed. Michel Dugnat is a child psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and head of the parent-baby unit at Montfavet Hospital Center.
