    Area of Science:

    • Developmental Psychology
    • Pediatrics
    • Psychosomatic Medicine

    Background:

    • Early life experiences, encompassing care and environmental factors, are crucial for infant development.
    • These experiences are internalized by infants as relational and emotional patterns.
    • Both physical and psychological development are fundamentally shaped by early life interactions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the foundational role of early life vicissitudes and care in infant development.
    • To understand how early relational dynamics influence physical and psychic orientation.
    • To investigate the link between distorted early relationships and the onset of psychosomatic pathology.

    Main Methods:

    • Qualitative analysis of early life experiences and their impact on infant mental representations.
    • Longitudinal observation of infant development, focusing on relational patterns and physical health.
    • Case study approach examining the manifestation of psychosomatic symptoms in relation to early caregiving.

    Main Results:

    • Early life experiences are stored as internal relationship models, affecting psychic orientation.
    • Distorted early relationships, exacerbated by infant physiological immaturities, negatively impact overall health.
    • Interference in early relational development is associated with the emergence of early psychosomatic pathology.

    Conclusions:

    • Secure and positive early life experiences are essential for healthy physical and psychological development.
    • Interventions addressing distorted early relationships may prevent the development of psychosomatic disorders.
    • Understanding the internalization of early care is key to promoting infant well-being and preventing long-term health issues.
