Awakening and Growth of the Human Infant: Conducting an Infant Mental Health Assessment

Presents a discussion of the methods used to elicit material from families regarding the nature of their relationship with their baby and the etiology of the breakdown in their bond with their baby.

Vignettes of interviews with families are used to demonstrate how information is sometimes offered by way of parent-infant interaction or by way of stories or behaviors that appear unrelated to the questions at hand. Suggestions are offered about how to organize material for a report.

This tape is intended principally for use in professional training.
