[Case study of an anxious child].
Separation and individuation process ceases to be physiological when the family does not furnish the child with a feeling of security. Very often it becomes the main reason for the development of fears, including separation fear. The described study of the child suffering from separation fear testifies to a strong interrelation between the attitude of the parents, their volatile feeling of security, an the fear developed by the child. It also demonstrates the influence of the generic families on the current family situation. All these factors prove that there should be a strong relation between the child therapy and the family therapy. All the described forms of therapy account for work with the child in the conditions of the day ward according to the Good-Start Method, V. Sherborne, group therapy and system family therapy. The interesting point is the stage at which the family decides to undergo the therapy and consequently break it up.
