["Disruptive births" and Father representation.].

The following reflection deals with Father representations and their evolution after Disruptive births. It is part of a much wider study taking into account the diversity of parents in these medicalized cases in which initial separation is unavoidable. This discontinuous study involves 50 families classified according to the children's neonatal characteristics (very premature birth, premature birth, premature birth with artificial insemination, non-premature birth). The study took place between 1990 and 1994 at Amiens Main Hospital in France (maternity and neonatal departments) in the beginning, and continued in the parent's homes. With its interest in the role of Parental Representations, this study introduces to the medical fields, an additional clinical sense which does not leave to the sole somatic state of the child the burden of the evolution of the mother-child relationship. At this point we discuss solely of the fathers, their trials, and also the resources they can bring to bear in the work of the maternal psyche when they are well supported.
