Abstract
The research is a study about relationship between couples' interactive and communicative style in the 7th month of pregnancy and: a) the family interactive style; b) father' involvement in child care, at the baby's 4th month of life. 40 couples expecting their first child have been evaluated by Prenatal Lausanne Trilogue Play (LTP) and the "Announcement " interview at the 7th month of pregnancy; Postnatal LTP and Father' involvement Questionnaire at the 4th month after child's birth. Results indicate that the best predictive model for family triadic interactions at 4th month seems to be couple's narrative and non-verbal characteristics observed during pregnancy.
