Psychotherapy with Infants and Their Families: What Makes it Work?
Psychotherapy with Infants and Their Families

Is infant mental health a strategy, or a way of being with? Our early work was fueled by a deep scientific and psychoanalytic curiosity about the nuances of infant-parent interaction, the meaning of early experience, the remarkable transferences between parental early experience and parental relating to the child in the present. We learned the bliss of scientific modesty, of not-knowing. We learned how to attune, how to follow, how to hold. We learned self-regulation. We were forced into self-knowing.

What does it look like, in the kitchen or the consulting room of 2018, when the goals of connection (the parent’s connection to the child, and ours to the parent) are met as a result of our own disciplined presence, our attunement, our commitment to following and holding? What are the secrets to accessing a parent’s narratives, particularly those that arose from having been a baby? What do we do when those narratives are incoherent (leading to great confusion about how to even be a parent), or dismissive (leading to gaps in the parent’s empathy with baby), or when they lead to regression, or aggression, or repetition? While generally avoiding diagnostic nomenclature (in favor of actual understanding), we will take note of how trouble shows up: in eating and sleeping and self-regulation disturbances in the baby, for example, and in depression, withdrawal, or destructive choices in daily living in the parent(s). How is the infant’s life, so far, preparing her, and her parent for her upcoming individuation?   This is the second training of a three-part series.  It is recommended that participants attend all three sessions.
