Intimate Transformations: Babies with Their Families: Babies with Their Families

by Nancy Bakalar (Editor), Hope Cooper (Editor), Jaedene Levy (Editor)

This inspiring volume highlights the importance of infant observation in psychotherapy training, as well as its benefits for the observer's personal growth. Following Esther Bick's infant observation model, the authors show how observing babies can contribute greatly to understanding the relationship between the baby and his parents, as well as the relationship between the parents, and the general mental well-being of the immediate family. The theories are accompanied by heartening case studies.
