RESUMO

The present work intends to understand the mother-child relationship in the caring of children suffering from obesity. Our main goal is to investigate the meanings that mothers tend to attribute to the childs obesity at the light of psychoanalytical theory. Our specific goals are 1) To present the importance of the mother-child relationship in the building of the childs body image as well as in the subjetivation of feeding habits; 2) To investigate the subjective implications of an obese childs mother; 3) To research the influence of medical discourse in the meanings attributed by the mother to the childs obesity; 4) To contribute with IPREDE in promoting a possible dialogue with psychoanalytical knowledge, highlighting factors related to the mother-child relationship in children who suffer from obesity. We have therefore done a qualitative research with both bibliographical and field investigations. Between April14 and June 26 2010 we had two interviews with each mother who took part in the Obesity Prevention Program developed by IPREDE. We used the discourse analysis method to orient the field material, organized according to the following categories:1) The meanings attributed to the interventions of the Program to Prevent Obesity; 2)The establishment of the demand for food; 3)Anxiety and symptom formation.We could conclude that the childs obesity can be taken as a symptom of a specific kind of mother-child relationship where anguish appears in splitting situations and food becomes the link between them. The symbolic coordinates of parents determine important conditions for us to reflect upon the suffering and subjectivation in childhood. Key-words: Child obesity; Medical discourse; Psychoanalyses; Mother-child relationship.
