Abstract

This article aims to discuss aspects related to the encounter mother-baby in the post-delivery moments. The birth and the reception of the new baby are, in general, described by the mother as a moment of joy and the feeling of completeness. Considering that we hardly observe that the difficulties of this period comes up in the mother’s speech, our proposal is to discuss what is behind the difficulties of the mothers in communicating the pain and the difficulties that are also part of this moment. Therefore, we intend to look at the psychoanalytical aspects related to the psychological organization of the baby’s mind, in order to understand the complexity present at birth, in the mother’s point of view, as well as the baby’s. In order to do that, we intend to locate at the Freudian works, the moments when the author presents, in his theory, the importance of the mother – unique and essential, responsible for receiving the baby and offering her own ego to the newborn. We also intend to observe the development of these thoughts in the post-Freudian authors.
