Abstract
The author examines the meaning of drugs in the mother-child relation both in the light of recent contributions on the use of drugs during childhood and on the basis of the first results of her own research work. The drug, which has a sybolic value in infantile development, as one can see in fairy tales, can assume a magic meaning in the present social context, confident that drugs can solve all illness. If the effect of a limitless faith in drugs lasts too long, the child can experience it as an unquestioned transitional object, foreshadowing possible feeling of drug addiction.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
