O impacto da relação mãe-bebê na construção do vínculo afetivo

Abstract

The present study sought to investigate the impact of the mother-baby relationship on the construction of the affective bond. For this, we sought to present the mother-baby relationship and how it is structured, to clarify the affectivity as existential dimension of human life and, finally, how the maternal involvement impacts on the constitution of the affective bond. The work was based on theoretical foundations of existential phenomenology for structuring and explaining the concepts presented. It was possible to perceive that the quality of the mother-baby bond is essential for the healthy development of the child, since it is from the relation with the mother that the baby constitutes all its psychic and affective base, that it lasts throughout existence, impacting its way of relating to the world.
