Mental Health: A Psychotherapeutic Model of Intervention
An extremely practical video dealing with: • How do we do infant-parent psychotherapy? • How do we know what to say, when to say it, and when to be quiet? • What do we do about the powerful resistance of families who may both want to talk — and to avoid talking at all costs — about "the problem with baby"? • What do we do about our own resistance? • What does transference look like, when baby is the object? • What are our responsibilities with respect to cultural, religious and other differences? A rich array of
clinical examples are brought together: from Dr. Cramer’s infant psychiatry
service in Switzerland, from a psychologist in Africa, and another from the
roughest sections of Newark. We watch a clinician with newborns and parents
in an affluent Chicago suburb, and hear "clinicians-in-the-trenches"
in rural Maine talk about what the work is like in their part of the world.
