Abstract: The parents’ request for psychological care of the child has been studied by several authors of psychoanalysis. The emphasis of this article is on the paternal-child relationship theory, as constructed by Winnicott (1979). According to this author, favorable conditions presented by the environment will be facilitated so that the child can develop according to his potential in the direction of his emotional maturation provided for a favorable support from the parents. In addition to Winnicott’s classics, this study points to the method of therapeutic consultations for children through the use of Drawing-and-Story Procedure. This article aims to present therapeutic consultations with parents and children performed on a Service School of Psychology as an effective method to investigate and understand the blockages that have determined the suspension of the maturation path of the child and the promotion of the rescue of the communication between the parents and the children. In the two cases analyzed, it was possible to have this understanding. The method used in the interventions promoted the rescue of communication between parents and children, starting from the re-inclusion of parents in the role of supporting the child’s maturation process, fulfilling the complement of our proposal.
