Early Relationships and Mental Health Series: Insights from experts in the field of Psychoanalytic Parent Infant Psychotherapy
With Tessa Baradon, Dr. Beatrice Beebe, Michela Biseo, Anna Godfrey, Fatima Martinez de Solar, Yvonne Osafo, Inge-Martine Pretorius, Teresa Sarmiento & Dr Arietta Slade
Led by international experts in the field of psychoanalytic parent infant psychotherapy this six week course will make vivid links between our earliest relational experiences and how they profoundly shape our future mental health, emotional well-being and capacity to form fulfilling adult relationships. Whether you’re working psychotherapeutically with parents and infants, children, couples, or individuals or are part of England’s Family Hubs and Start for Life program, the principles explored in this series will be relevant and enriching for your work.
The series will demonstrate how through embodied, micro communications between parent and infant the infant’s sense of self develops. These experiences are shaped by m-other’s internal and external circumstances and their capacity to be ‘with’ the baby. We will begin with Dr Beatrice Beebe’s groundbreaking work, the micro-analysis of parent-infant communication through video and audio recordings slowed down frame by frame to ‘see’ and experience what is really happening in the dyad, you may be surprised!
Dr Arietta Slade named by Peter Fonagy as ‘one of the world’s best experts in this field’ will offer the second lecture on developing the capacity for reflective functioning and mentalization and Tessa Baradon follows on the vital processes of rupture and repair between parent and infant. We will consider these micro processes alongside the macro level impact of broader issues such as race, cultural differences, and trauma, particularly in refugee and asylum-seeking populations.
This series is developed in collaboration with the National Centre for Supervision of Parent-Infant Relationships (NCSPIR). NCSPIR offers clinical supervision to practitioners and their supervisors working with parents and infants as part of the UK government’s Family Hubs and Start for Life program, which aims to improve early years services for families with children aged 0 to 2.
