摘要

尽管科学证据表明父亲在婴儿的社会和情感发展以及福祉方面的重要性,但婴儿心理健康服务仍难以让父亲参与进来。通常,父亲被认为在婴儿心理健康工作方面是不可用的、不感兴趣的、不必要的,甚至是不安全的。这些过时的观点延续了这个神话,即这项工作只属于婴儿母亲的一方。本文旨在探讨父亲参与婴儿心理健康服务的一些原因和障碍。我们提出了一个想象的对话之间的三个精神卫生专业人员在儿童和青少年精神卫生服务工作。三个角色的各种争论、反驳和反思以剧本的形式呈现,目的是让主题栩栩如生,并捕捉到类似于在儿童心理健康服务机构工作的同事之间的实际讨论。一位初级临床医生注意到,在多学科小组会议上提出的一个婴儿病例没有提到孩子的父亲。一位资深临床医生解释说,该团队的工作通常侧重于母婴关系,因为这在临床上被认为是最重要的。一位最近才加入这个团队的精神病学家探讨了团队文化中可能会排除父亲参与这项服务的一些方面。随着三位专业人士之间的讨论展开,他们探讨了一些反对父亲参与的合理理由。婴儿心理健康服务应考虑其文化和流程如何影响父亲和/或其他成年照顾者是否参与这些服务。对于临床医生来说,从婴儿独特的发展角度思考婴儿的直接人际关系环境可以揭示家庭中的机会和资源,从而可能导致有效的系统治疗方法。

The missing father: why can't infant mental health services keep dads in mind?

Despite the weight of scientific evidence demonstrating the importance of fathers in the social and emotional development and well-being of infants, infant mental health services struggle to engage fathers. Commonly, fathers are assumed to be unavailable, uninterested, unnecessary, or even unsafe in relation to infant mental health work. These outdated perspectives perpetuate the myth that this work pertains exclusively to the infant–mother dyad. This paper aims to explore some of the reasons for and barriers to involving fathers in infant mental health services. We present an imagined conversation between three mental health professionals working in a child and adolescent mental health service. Presented as a script, the various arguments, counterarguments, and reflections made by the three characters aim to bring the subject matter to life and capture something akin to an actual discussion between colleagues working in a child mental health service. A junior clinician notices that an infant case presented at the multidisciplinary team meeting did not mention the child's father. A senior clinician explains that the team's work usually focuses on the infant–mother relationship, as this is considered of primary importance clinically. A psychiatrist, who has only recently joined the team, explores some of the aspects of team culture that might exclude fathers from participating in the service. Several plausible objections to involving fathers are explored as the discussion unfolds between the three professionals. Infant mental health services should consider how their culture and processes influence whether fathers and/or other adult caregivers engage in these services. For clinicians, thinking about the infant's immediate interpersonal context from their unique development perspective can reveal opportunities and resources within the family that may lead to effective systemic treatment approaches.

期刊介绍: The ANZJFT is reputed to be the most-stolen professional journal in Australia! It is read by clinicians as well as by academics, and each issue includes substantial papers reflecting original perspectives on theory and practice. A lively magazine section keeps its finger on the pulse of family therapy in Australia and New Zealand via local correspondents, and four Foreign Correspondents report on developments in the US and Europe.
