ROMAN MAESTRE, Begoña. Ethical aspects in the mother-child relationship. Rev. Asoc. Esp. Neuropsiq. [online]. 2021, vol.41, n.139, pp.171-185.  Epub Oct 04, 2021. ISSN 2340-2733.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s0211-57352021000100011.

In the three sections that make up this article, those ethical aspects that are crucial to accompany the establishment of a good mother-child relationship are made explicit. In the first section a difference is made between ethics and morals. The mother-child bond, beyond the merely biological, contains cultural and moral elements. By living in multicultural and morally plural societies, and, as a child's upbringing is exposed to fashions, traditions and new evidence, ethics establishes criteria that allow us to avoid relativism. The second section focuses on the category of recognition, key in the healthy development of the person. Autonomy, a fundamental value in this development, draws from social sources and from the spheres of love, justice, and solidarity. The third section deals with the role of professionals so that their intervention generates participation, serenity, capabilities and bonds, all of them transcendental conditions in the search for an appropriate and own life.

Keywords : ethics; morals; bonds; capacities; participation; serenity; vulnerability; recognition.
