If you can understand this book, you will be able to understand adult psychopathology as the outcome of childhood deficits,
By Marty (Napervile, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Psychological Birth Of The Human Infant Symbiosis And Individuation (Paperback)
This is a very important book to the professional who works with people of all ages. It focuses on what the child needs in the way of early attachment for the infant-toddler to feel secure and emotionally alive via the living relationship with the caretaker. If/when the attachment is not good enough to match the infants specific needs, then we can see the possible problems that can flow form this early deficit in attachment and follows into other forms of emotional issues. I would change the title of this book to include the importance of attachment as the necessary ingrediant facilitating the process of Individuation of the infant. This attachment is related to the bi-directional emotional cues between mother and infant (and father too) and the caretaker's responses.

This review is from: The Psychological Birth Of The Human Infant Symbiosis And Individuation (Paperback)
the first few chapters (120 pages)very technical and difficult for layman to read. However,if you take your time you will learn a lot. The case histories,however are easy to read and excellent-they teach you almost everything you need to know about infant and toddler psychology.

Impressions,
By Steversmatrix "steversmatrix" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Psychological Birth Of The Human Infant Symbiosis And Individuation (Paperback)
Just like the mother-infant bond makes an indelible impression on the infant, this book's observations gives lasting insight into developmental psychology. Once you dredge through the early chapters' technical and academic expostions, you will learn alot from the individual cases. I plan to revisit this work as I continually encounter children in my practice.
