Child neglect can be considered as the lack of physical and emotional availability usually provided by the attachment figures and can be associated with adverse psychological outcomes. The present work aims to deepen the relational mechanisms underline neglect functioning by using both the Infant Research theoretical framework and the relational symbolic model. The construct of loyalty proposed by Boszormenyi-Nagy as well as the one of generational hierarchy delineated by Minuchin will work as interpretative lens for describing a clinical case characterized by the presence of parental neglect.
Keywords: neglect, trauma, intersubjectivity, invisible loyalties, dissociation.
