Behavior disorders in themselves do not mean infantile neurosis. Only with the repression of the Oedipal conflicts do we have important unconscious material. In such cases treatment of the parents is important. If they are not treated, the child re-enforces its defenses and its ego is weakened. Only in some cases is the treatment of the child important, e.g., when identification takes place at an oral level and there are evidences of regressive behavior.
