Abstract

Parental representations tend to be formed in the prenatal period and affect the child- parent relationship in the

long term. Therefore, in the clinical environment, it is important to define parents’ representations to increase

the success of therapeutic interventions and prevent childhood psychopathologies with various intervention

programs. With this concern, the aim of this review was to summarize the literature about parental

representations and their relationship between parenting behavior, and childhood developmental problems.

Related to this purpose, this review includes the definition and categories of parental representations, the factors

which contribute to parental representations, and the relations between parenting and childhood developmental

problems.

Keywords: Parental representations, child rearing, parent child relationship, developmental psychopathology
