Abstract:
The meeting between a father and his child when it is hindered by a still painful early history can benefit from specific support through interactive guidance therapy. This tailor-made support, through the viewing of filmed sequences of play between the father and his son, helps him to get in touch with the current interactions as the veils of the past are cleared. Through the experience of the video, the father discovers his skills and thus gradually develops confidence in his parenting abilities, enabling him to take his place as a father in the succession of generations.
