"This book edited by Tessa Baradon and written by her and four
other seasoned parent-infant psychotherapists brings the reader an
enlivened and enlivening view of the theory, practice, and
applications of contemporary psychoanalytically oriented
parent-infant psychotherapy and its growing evidence-base. There is
something valuable in it for clinicians of every level of
experience from novice to pro. This is a book whose usefulness
extends across disciplines and to intervention with children and
families beyond the period of infancy. It is rare to see such a
clear and well-written psychotherapy text." - Daniel S. Schechter,
M.D., Senior Lecturer in Psychiatry and Deputy Chief of Service,
Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Service, University of Geneva
Hospitals and Faculty of Medicine, Switzerland; and Research
Faculty, Columbia University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and
Research, New York"The Practice of Psychoanalytic Parent-Infant
Psychotherapy: Claiming the Baby, comes at the perfect time in the
development of the field. Indeed, it is well known today that
infants perceive and react to their environment and therefore may
develop signs of emotional distress that require some kind of
therapeutic intervention. We are at the stage now to conceptualize
our therapeutic approaches and to teach them. This book integrates
core concepts such as embodied communication, interactive inner
realities, transition to parenthood and family dynamics, into a
model of daily practice, with clear guidelines and clinical
illustrations. It is the end-product of a long process of
transmission of knowledge, skill and experience, and thus is a
precious contribution to clinicians and health workers who
encounter the baby and his/her parents in the community." - Miri
