Study Exploring Parents Experiences After Completing Parent-Child Psychotherapy for Children Under 5 at CHU Minjoz

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to explore the parents personal experience during parent-child psychotherapy for children under 5 years old. The study focuses on how the therapy influences the parent-child relationship, which is key to the childs emotional and brain development. Researchers want to understand the parents view of the psychotherapy process, their relationship with the therapist, and any changes they notice during treatment. The psychotherapy studied includes interactive guidance or integrative psychodynamic psychotherapy, which helps parents reflect on past and present conflicts affecting their childs difficulties. Parents who have completed this therapy with their young child at the CHU Minjoz are invited to participate. The study uses semi-structured interviews to gather detailed feedback from the parents about their therapy experience. Participants will share their thoughts through these interviews, which will be analyzed to assess changes in how they understand their childs challenges and their own mentalizing abilities over six months. The study looks at the parents perception of change and their capacity to understand psychological difficulties that led to therapy. The involvement mainly consists of these interviews, with no additional treatment, and aims to improve understanding of the therapeutic process from the parents perspective.
