This paper take into consideration the concept of Parental Reflective Functioning (PRF) as systematized by Fonagy and Target within the theoretical, clinical and research framework of the Developmental Pychology. PRF refers to the capacity of the parent to envision his or her child as motivated by internal mental states such as feeling, wishes, desires, and to be able to reflect on his or her own internal mental experiences, and how they are shaped by interactions with the child. PRG is placed as the central dimension of child’s self in line with the relational psychoanalytic assumptions that shift the focus of the internalization of the containing object to the internalization of the thinking self and set the processes of affective regulation and mentalizing in terms of adequacy and evolutive risk.
L'articolo prende in considerazione il costrutto della Funzione Riflessiva Genitoriale (FRG)come sistematizzato da Fonagy e Target all'interno della cornice teorica, clinica e di ricerca della Developmental Psychology. La FRG si riferisce alla capacità del genitore di leggere la mente del proprio bambino in relazione ai suoi sentimenti, alle sue aspettative, ai suoi desideri e di essere in grado di riflettere sulle sue esperienze e come esse vengano riflesse nell'interazione con il bambino. La FRG viene posta come dimensione centrale del sè infantile in linea agli assunti psicoanalitici relazionali che spostano il focus dell'interiorizzazione dell'oggetto contenente all'interiorizazzione del sè pensante e pongono i processi di regolazione affettiva e della mentalizazzione in termini di adeguatezza e rischio evolutivo.

Abstract
This paper take into consideration the concept of Parental Reflective Functioning (PRF) as systematized by Fonagy and Target within the theoretical, clinical and research framework of the Developmental Pychology. PRF refers to the capacity of the parent to envision his or her child as motivated by internal mental states such as feeling, wishes, desires, and to be able to reflect on his or her own internal mental experiences, and how they are shaped by interactions with the child. PRG is placed as the central dimension of child’s self in line with the relational psychoanalytic assumptions that shift the focus of the internalization of the containing object to the internalization of the thinking self and set the processes of affective regulation and mentalizing in terms of adequacy and evolutive risk.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
