Book Description
Parent-infant interactions provide essential contexts in which infants learn strategies for social functioning and regulating arousal. This study explored two structural qualities of parent-infant interactions, dyadic synchrony and flexibility, thought to reflect mutual regulation. The study further explored relations among these structural constructs and contextual factors including marital satisfaction, parental depressive symptoms, parenting stress, and parent and infant affect in the interaction. Mothers, fathers, and their 6-month old male and female infants (N = 164) took part in the Still Face Paradigm. Parents provided self-report of marital satisfaction, depressive symptoms, and parenting stress. Results suggest that synchrony and flexibility represent related but independent constructs. Flexibility and synchrony were associated with parent and infant affect in the interaction; results differed slightly depending on the interactional context (mother/father, face-to-face/reunion). Mother-infant flexibility in the reunion episode was related to maternal depressive symptoms and report of parenting stress. Maternal positive affect in the reunion interaction was associated with maternal report of marital satisfaction; whereas infant negative affect expressed in father-child reunion interactions was associated with paternal marital satisfaction. Results illuminate the distinctions and similarities between flexibility and synchrony, and the relations among flexibility in parent-infant interactions and contextual factors.

Book Description
Infant Research and Adult Treatment is the first synoptic rendering of Beatrice Beebe’s and Frank Lachmann’s impressive body of work. Therapists unfamiliar with current research findings will find here a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of infant competencies. These competencies give rise to presymbolic representations that are best understood from the standpoint of a systems view of interaction. It is through this conceptual window that the underpinnings of the psychoanalytic situation, especially the ways in which both patient and therapist find and use strategies for preserving and transforming self-organization in a dialogic context, emerge with new clarity. They not only show how their understanding of treatment has evolved, but illustrate this process through detailed descriptions of clinical work with long-term patients. Throughout, they demonstrate how participation in the dyadic interaction reorganizes intrapsychic and relational processes in analyst and patient alike, and in ways both consonant with, and different from, what is observed in adult-infant interactions. Of special note is their creative formulation of the principles of ongoing regulation; disruption and repair; and heightened affective moments. These principles, which describe crucial facets of the basic patterning of self-organization and its transformation in early life, provide clinical leverage for initiating and sustaining a therapeutic process with difficult to reach patients. This book provides a bridge from the phenomenology of self psychological, relational, and intersubjective approaches to a systems theoretical understanding that is consistent with recent developments in psychoanalytic therapy and amenable to further clinical investigation. Both as reference work and teaching tool, as research-grounded theorizing and clinically relevant synthesis, Infant Research and Adult Treatment is destined to be a permanent addition to every thoughtful clinician's bookshelf.

Book Description
One in ten women suffers from an episode of significant depression following the birth of a baby. These depressions can have a profoundly negative effect on the quality of the mother infant relationship and, in turn, on the course of child development itself. The first book in a decade to deal exclusively with the impact of postpartum depression on child development, this groundbreaking volume brings together rigorous and sophisticated research from eighteen of the leading authorities in the field.

Book Description
This first book of a two-volume series describes current research and state of the art clinical practice the shed light on the developmental origins of psychopathology in the first year of life, i.e. approximately up to the emergence of secondary intersubjectivity and/or walking. The second volume explores the interactional underpinnings of psychopathology in toddlerhood, from the time of voluntarily gross motor functioning to the emergence and basic organization of symbolic language at 24-30 months. A comprehensive approach is adopted, focusing on the fundamentally interactive nature of early development and examining interactions both with caregivers and more broadly with the socio-cultural environment. The books describe the processes involved in psychopathological trajectories and provide clinical insight into tailored, culturally sensitive therapeutic care in diverse environments. This volume discusses in detail situations placing the infant at risk and the nature of infant development, including communication, intersubjectivity, functional development, and affective and emotional development. Culturally and socially sensitive approaches to psychopathology are examined, with examples of specific infant- and family-centered therapies. Information on risk of abuse and neglect and infant protection policies is included.
