Abstract
In the last decade a new dimension of analysis of the early bonds has risen changing the focus from the dyad to the triad, including the father in the family setting of the intersubjectivity. We performed a cross-sectional study of 10 Chilean families with their first child, aged between 3 and 11 months. Triadic family functioning and family alliances are evaluated, as well as security or insecurity in the pattern of parental attachment and levels of depressive symptoms. The results show a higher frequency of secure bonds in mothers and fathers of families that show cooperative alliances, as well as lower levels of parental depressive symptoms in this group.
