A discussion, with tape clips from both normal and troubled families, of the ways in which real or imagined characteristics of the newborn affect the way in which he is integrated into the family, and the nature of his relationships with primary caretakers.

The TWO-WAY character of infant-parent interactions and of the evolving relationship, and the problems of FIT, are highlighted. Newborn responses to some parts of the Brazleton (neonatal behavioral assessment scale) will be demonstrated.

The tape is useful with childbirth preparation classes, parent and pre-parent groups, and physician in-services, as well as in professional training curricula for infant mental health clinicians. (Available in VHS and DVD, 58 minutes, $49.95)

Available in the PAL format - the standard format in Europe and other countries.
