| Abstract;Much attention has been paid to the difficulties females with past or present eating disorders encounter in raising children. This paper illustrates the clinical features of intergenerational transmission of interrelationship in a mother with a history of eating disorder and her infant, and discusses preventive strategy for this phenomenon of intergenerational transmission. Characteristics of mother-infant interaction shown in this mother's child-rearing were: (1) difficulty in accepting his dependency needs, (2) little pleasure in playing with her child at the sensory-motor level, which suggested some disturbance in body image, and (3) overly high ego ideals giving rise to unreasonable expectations of her child. For resolving the child-rearing difficulties faced by the mother and to prevent intergenerational transmission of the mother's psychopathology to her child, mother-child psychotherapy was provided for promoting mother-child interaction and for altering the mother's inner representation of children formulated through the mother-child relationship with her own mother.
