It's well known the fact of the influences of the maternal representation in the infant-mother interaction and by this way, the psycho-affective development of the baby. With the work of D. Winnicott and W. Bion, becomes clearly the importance of the phantasmagoric world of the mother at the construction in the way of the child identity. In 1980, with the article Ghosts in the nursery, Selma Fraiberg values the amount of maternal fantasies in the relationship infant-mother pathology genesis or the arrangement of symptoms there. By the way, at multiple birth clinical case, the authors propose realizing a theoretical reflection about the maternal representation in a multiple birth context. The clinical case presented were observed in our unit for the need of children insertion at the nursery-school, by parents request. At first assessment, the babies were four months, two boys and one girl. During observations, became clearly the differences of the infant-mother interaction among the three babies. And then a question came up: will it exist only one maternal representation and for each child a subsidiary representation or will it exist different maternal representations? For a clear approach of this question we use the Interview R (D. Stern, Robert-Tissot, et al.) and the ICQ.
