Infant
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.
