Abstract
The family alliance (FA) reflects the degree of family cooperation and engagement. It is enacted in every daily activity involving both parents and the child. The FA is assessed with the Family Alliance Assessment Scales (FAAS; Favez, Lavanchy Scaiola, Tissot, Darwiche, & Frascarolo, 2010) in an observational situation, the Lausanne Trilogue Play (LTP; Fivaz-Depeursinge & Corboz-Warnery, 1999). The FA is then classified as Cooperative, Conflictual or Disordered. Five criteria (participation, organization, focalization, affect sharing and synchronization) allow getting a family score. From a systemic point of view, different correlates of the FA can be highlighted. In this way, the first presentation will be held on the influence of the low to moderate maternal depressiveness on the FA (Tissot, H.). In a second phase, the association between the parental insightfulness, reflecting the capacity to “see things from the child’s point of view” of both mother and father and the FA will be studied (Oppenheim, D.). Third, the parental relation, especially the marital satisfaction and the coparenting, in association with the FA will be taken into account (Deschênes, M.). Fourth, an exploration of the different predictors of the FA within a model including parental (e.g. personality), coparental (e.g. coparenting) and the child’s variables (e.g. temperament) will be held (Galdiolo, S.). The last presentation will offer us an extension of the LTP in order to assess the triadic interactions during the child’s feeding (Feeding-LTP) and will also define the FA in a family whose the child has a diagnosis of Infantile Anorexia (Simonelli, A.).
