TL;DR: This paper conducted a qualitative study with 106 professionals who work in the child protection system and found that older and more experienced professionals are more open and inclined to promote participation in family reunification processes.
Abstract: Professional support of families that are under temporary protection, with the goal of reunification, is necessary for helping families re-establish their family dynamics. Without this support, the conditions that contributed to child abuse and neglect will likely persist. In this context, the attitude of professionals towards positive parenting and child participation is a decisive factor. The quantitative study presented here contributes knowledge regarding these 2 variables. The study was conducted with 106 professionals who work in the child protection system. The results show a high degree of consensus among professionals regarding the following practices: (a) incorporating positive parenting into family reunification processes; (b) training the biological parents in parenting skills; and (c) promoting the active participation of children in foster care and reunification. Regarding the latter point, the study found that older and more experienced professionals are more open and inclined to promote participation in family reunification processes. The practical implications of the results invite us to review attitudinal competencies training for professionals working in child protection services, focusing on encouraging a positive attitude towards the parental competencies of the biological family and the active participation of children in foster care and reunification. These professionals' attitudes are a key factor in mediating the process of family reunification.

TL;DR: In this paper, a questioni affettive della relazione tra genitori and figli adolescenti are discussed. But the authors focus on the relationship between the genitore and the figli.
Abstract: L’articolo affronta da un punto di vista clinico alcune questioni affettive della relazione tra genitori e figli adolescenti. Cogliendo le dinamiche familiari dalla prospettiva della mente del figlio e dei cambiamenti emotivi cui egli va incontro con l’ingresso nell’adolescenza, l’attenzione si sofferma in particolare sul ruolo delicato del genitore nell’espletare determinate funzioni affettive nei confronti del figlio cruciali per il superamento da parte di quest’ultimo degli ostacoli che l’adolescenza pone alla sua crescita. In quest’ottica alcuni riferimenti al contributo di autori e a teorie del campo psicodinamico sono considerati in rapporto ai temi sia della funzione genitoriale, sia dello sviluppo emotivo in adolescenza e delle dinamiche genitori-figli in questa fase del ciclo di vita familiare.
