Children’s quality of life improvements through child psychology

Introduction

This essay will talk about child psychology, whose objective is to improve the quality of life of children regarding the interpretation of what happens and that they can interact with their environment, which entails an improvement in the well -being of their parentsAnd its close family environment, to prevent possible development problems and identify possible mental disorders, focuses on the physical, motor, mental, perceptual, affective and social development of the child from birth to puberty, will be addressed through Freudian psychoanalysis, since, for him, childhood is a period of the life of the individual very significant, due to the impressions that affect this "being unfinished and indebble" being able to generate different traumas.

In the first instance, what is the child for Freud will be defined, since psychoanalysis with children took impulse at the beginning of the 20th century, when he expressed the main role of the child’s sexuality, and the destiny of the individual, since he does not take itAs an object of study, Freud did not take into account those characteristic behaviors of the child, but was interested in the study of child sexuality and the child, this leads to changes in the development of child sexuality that persist in adults, subsequentlyIt will present the main reason for life, manifested from childhood, and refers to the search for pleasure, since, the child seeks the pleasant and avoids the painful, this process of avoidance of the search occurs in different ways, to whatlength of its existence.

Finally, there will be the different periods or stages that the child is going through in their development, since these will be responsible for certain specific needs, which can be physical, intellectual and emotional to mention some of the most important

Developing

It is very important to define what a child for Freudian psychoanalysis Raúl and. Levin (1995) mentions how Freud granted childThe child as an object of analysis, but he was interested in the study of child and child sexuality, in this way he could verify the results of the reconstructions of adult analysis and the study of the genesis of neurotic, perverse diseasesand the development of sexuality in a child who would later become a normal adult;In Freudian psychoanalysis, the childhood does not refer to something of children or their characteristic behavior, but to repressed sexuality with alterations in the development of child sexuality that persist in adults in adults.

Freud differentiates between child and adult and emphasizes the constitution of the psychic apparatus the development of a being that takes place in the order of maturation of the body and distinguishes not only the biological changes that one can represent from the other, but also in the states of the subject of the subjectThese are childhood, latency, puberty, youth and maturity, which are related to the decisive moments of the movement of the oedipal structure, for Freud the Oedipus traces the safest limit between the child and the adult through the structural readjustments of the structuralOf the latency period and puberty, psychologically the child is or object of diverse study of the adult, since it still does not have a superyo, for this reason the methods of free association do not tolerate much, and the transfer plays another role, put onthat real parents are still present. 

Freud’s discovery in the child is based on the transit of his childhood, since they externalize a sexuality, since they are born, they have pleasant sensations, to talk about the sexuality of the same, the following stages must be mentioned the oral, anal andphallic since the objective of these is the autoerotic satisfaction in partial drives associated with specific areas of the skin called ‘erogenous zones’ that result from the vital functions of the body for life. He sees childhood as a very important part of the child’s life, since, impressions will affect this ‘imperfect and weak’ (the child is an immature person and with little development) these can generate various traumas, that is,Experiences that, due to their ‘intensity of’ stimulus’, would make the child a predisposed being to the contraction of neurosis and dysfunction in adulthood.

It should be noted that there are body parts that produce pleasant sensations, which in adulthood and is the stimulation of the genitals themselves, the first area of the body that plays this role in the child’s life is the mouth, this being the first source ofKnowledge of the world, for example, the child experiences stimulation since the beginning of breastfeeding, in later periods of childhood, puts his mouth in contact with almost any object that is within his reach, in addition to try, the area of La Boca retains the ability to retain pleasure throughout the breastfeeding period and, in some children, much longer than a year and a half, Freud, S. (1991) describes how the child’s relationship with his first object arises: the child’s first erotic object is the mother’s chest that nourishes it, love appears in the analysis with the satisfaction of nutritional needs, this first object is completedThen around the whole person the mother, who not only feeds the child but also takes care of him and awakens many other pleasant and oppressive physical sensations in the context of child care, the mother becomes the first seducer of the child. Unique, incomparable and definitely established of the mother as the first and most powerful sexual object, as a prototype of all subsequent love relationships, both for the sexes and for others, which are then assumed on the other hand of the body such as the rectum and Urinary sphincters, what is probably due to the abundant stimulation and attention given to this region during the long exercise process to control sphincters, although these sensations predominate in the so -called anal phase, the child shows great interest Throughout the process of elimination, a tendency to touch their own excrements due to its color, the child looks for such ‘dirty’ games during the anal phase of its development, as shown when sucking the fingers and objects at their disposal, Develop the grip reflection along with the suction reflection or touch some parts of the body or other people during the passive oral phase or parts of the bite body EAN to other people or objects at the reach of it (Freud, to. 1905 /1985, P. 48).

For Freud, to. (1985) The main purpose of life is one that manifests from childhood, based on the search for pleasure, seeks the pleasant and avoids the painful, where this process of avoiding search in various forms emerges, throughoutFrom the existence of man, libido is the true sexual energy that moves us to pleasure, is the basis of this process, it is important to point out that the term ‘sex’ goes beyond the mere feminine, feminine or male relationship or differentiation,These are more likely results of the direction in which the libido is directed.

In the different stages that the child is going through in its development, there are specific needs, whether physical, emotional, intellectual to mention some of the most important. These may be represented in different specific areas of the body: as is the mouth, anus and genital organs;In those areas where adults represent places of pleasure and sexual tension and manifest rudimentary in children and are only perceived as pleasant sensations, the term ‘sexuality’ should not be interpreted as a synonym for the genitality of adults that are in its apogee,Child sexuality refers to instinct trends aimed at relieving tension and seeking pleasure.

The discovery in the psychoanalytic treatment of adult neurotic patients has been to reveal the origin of their childrenof the formation of neurosis with a central axis that consists in the love of the father of the opposite sex and the children’s rivalry in clinical neuroses;It is difficult to distinguish between a normal organization of conflicting psychological development based on the Oedipus complex and the forms of clinical neurosis in the infant, it is of great importance to highlight the importance of the Oedipus complex and child sexuality for the organization of mental life,There is a clear clinical fact that should be highlighted in children’s psychiatric consultations, since most cases studied of more or less serious personality disorders.

Psychological treatment in children from the psychoanalytic perspective, which uses appropriate techniques to the child’s immature abilities and characteristics to address the psychological conflicts and disorders that have harmed the normal development of the child this can be rebuilt in the present to produce enough structural changesand adaptation capabilities to support the normal development of development (Cuevas, 2001).

The first analysts see the game as a tool to explore the unconscious, since it can present problems as neurotics. The difference in work with adults led to find strategies that work with children, which include:

1. Promote a space where children can relax and reduce control over themselves to free themselves from conflicting material.
2. Create symbolic material that can minimize the fear that arises from realizing its true meaning.
3. An environment appropriate to the child’s development level, in which he can naturally express his fears, desires, etc.
4. A place where the therapist can perform an interpretation through observation and establish a therapeutic relationship with children.

Although there are great differences between adult and children psychoanalysis, a main objective of game therapy has been closer to the adult psychoanalytic framework as much as possible. Levy, 2020, mentions that the first analysts recognized the form and content of the game, had a great symbolic meaning for children and the game situation allowed the symbolic expression of past and current conflicts.

Freud mentioned the importance of exploring the life and psychology of children. You can keep the famous phrase ‘Childhood is destiny’, this clearly shows the importance of studying childhood, Sigmund Freud also mentioned that games play a positive role, can be interpreted as a language that can regulate emotions and self-development and self-developmentIn addition, he also mentions that developing a healthy personality is essential for children to meet their needs.

In addition, given the reflection that the child sees how the totality of his image, in the face of the lack of coordination of the real body, the child is perceived as an aggressive tension between the mirror image, related to illusions of the totality that introduces an underlying aggressiveness. And the real body, since the complexity of the image seems to threaten the body with disintegration and fragmentation.

Freud never treated children, was always an adult psychoanalyst, who worked with the children was Melanie Klein who, while watching her son and patients with her first child, discovered the wealth of symbols and fantasies in the child’s head, isShe who introduces and systematizes child psychoanalysis as we know him, and who works from this moment to the present, suggested game therapy as a technique to work with children.

The game is a difficult language to decipher for both children and adults, since several symbols contained in this game have to be understood at the same time to understand them, Melanie Klein discovered that in the baby there are two positions regarding innate impulses withThose who are born a person who last a lifetime, which are the impulses of love and aggression, are constantly present and their interaction is the cause of many pathologies and difficulties in the life of each person, Melanie Klein describes the intense fears thatThey experience many children and tried to understand their anger, jealousy, phobias, obsessions, depression, learning difficulties, their inhibitions about games, sports and interactions they can have with other children.

conclusion

It is important to highlight that human life gradually form in the first years of life and that this will determine our personality, attitudes, values on who we will be in the future

Within the exposed analysis, psychoanalysis focuses on all those who fall repeatedly under the physical symptoms that constitute an obstacle to the development of their potential, which is reflected in their social environment, whether individually, with their friends, family, orWith the different environments in which the individual develops, so that we can observe in the child, his relationship with the other, his reactions of elegance and splendor, while his behavior explains structural ambivalence, the Freudian concept of ambivalence inThe man, same as us, allows us to intuit the interdependence between love and hate.

The symptom of every child is structured from the position he takes in relation to the female part, since the mother, as a woman, has a special relationship with the lack, the lack of a primordial object, which arises from Freud’s study onFemale sexuality is characterized by the fact that it is what evokes female desire and what is called the female side.

Finally, psychoanalyzing children means entering a world of unknown passions, fears and fears, psychoanalytic work with a child is always an adventure, where you can play, draw, you lose your composure, among other activities, psychoanalysis withChildren show us the need to intervene from other ways, interventions that, at the same time, are determined by the different languages with which a child expresses, according to the type of thought that predominate in him and for the story that isis forging in each analysis.

For this reason, I consider it necessary to know the child’s unconscious to help him resolve his conflicts in the healthiest possible way, as well as it is also of great importance to offer his parents elements to understand them better, for this, it is important to understand the fundamental aspectsof psychoanalytic theory and the technique of children’s play, as well as knowing the various pathologies and ailments that affect children, these are the main reasons why parents consult.
