Description
This book presents an interdisciplinary discussion between researchers and clinicians about trauma in the relationship between infants and their parents. It makes an innovative contribution to the field of infant mental health in bringing together previously separated paradigms of relational trauma from psychoanalysis, attachment and the neurosciences.
With contributions from a range of experts, areas of discussion include:
· intergenerational transmission of relational trauma and earliest intervention
· the nature of the traumatising encounter between parent and infant
· the therapeutic possibilities of parent-infant psychotherapy in changing
the trajectory of transmitted trauma
· training and supporting professionals working with traumatised parents
and infants.
Relational Trauma in Infancy will be of particular interest to trainee and qualified child and adult psychotherapists, clinical psychologists, child and adult psychiatrists, psychoanalysts, health care professionals and social workers.

Reviews
"For all those trying to address serious difficulties in early parent-infant
relationships, this book will be an invaluable and timely resource. It is a
work of impressive contemporary scholarship and brings a wealth of clinical
experience and authority to this vitally important arena." - Peter
Toolan, The Maudsley Perinatal Psychotherapy Service, London, UK
"Sensitive and creative research and clinical papers contribute to
an interdisciplinary exploration of the biological, psychological and social
consequences of trauma on infant development and to extensive consideration
of various modes of intervention, making this volume of value to both developmental
investigators and clinicians" - Sidney J. Blatt, Professor,
Psychiatry and Psychology, Yale University, USA, and author of Polarities of
Experience: Relatedness and Self-definition in Personality Development, Psychopathology
and the Therapeutic Process
"In an era characterized by marked progress in our understanding of
the neurobiological substrates and processes underpinning parenting, early development
and the sequelae of early adversity in particular, clinicians working with infants
and parents all the more feel the need for the translation of these basic research
findings to their clinical practice. This book provides a superb attempt to
bridge this gap. It provides a compelling case for the value of a relational
approach to the study and treatment of parents and infants struggling with the
consequences of early adversity, and in breaking the vicious cycle of trauma
across the generations. This book goes far beyond simple models of trauma and
their impact on later development. It effectively paints a much more complex
picture of the consequences of early disruptive experiences, and their effects
on child development and parenting. Central in this volume is the focus on the
mind of mothers and infants, that is how mothers and infants co-create their
internal and external worlds, often in maladaptive and distorted ways, and how
this co-creation can be changed as a result of parent-infant interventions.
As yet few carefully documented psychodynamic case studies are available in
this context. This volume, written by leading experts in the field of parent-infant
therapy, therefore promises to be a leading source of information for both clinicians
and researchers involved in parent-infant work for years to come." -Patrick
Luyten, Department of Psychology, University of Leuven, Belgium
"The book makes for a good scholarly read and reflects the high standard of theoretical and clinical work of the Anna Freud Centre." - Hessel Willemsen, Journal of Analytical Psychology, Volume 56, 2011
