ABSTRACT:
Following Gestalt theory, Focal Play-Therapy (FPT) has been planned as a psychotherapeutic method for the treatment of eating and evacuation psychosomatic protest behaviors in preschool children that are thought to be a consequence of the frustration by the parents of the motivation to do by oneself.
Focal points of the FPT consist 1) in highlighting independence features in the relationship with food and evacuation functions; 2) in allowing the child to face and to surpass the anxiety for the loss of corporal contents; 3) in allowing the expression of aggressive experiences projected on food and corporal contents. The present work shows the use of the FPT in the extended child-parents context as a way to take advantage of parents’ abilities. This integration favors the therapeutic process 1) giving to the child the opportunity to get close to his parents who are trying to solve his problems; 2) giving to the parents the opportunity to understand, through the play participation, the psychological aspects related to eating and evacuation behavior, also favoring through adequate suggestions a harmonious communal family life.
