Trevor Lubbe Memorial Seminar

How Understanding the Internal World of Infants Shapes our Clinical Practice.

 

The Super-Ego in Infancy and Young Childhood: Some Benign and Pathological Developments Anjali’s paper examines the clinical manifestations of primitive anxieties and their impact on development. The paper highlights the role of the maternal environment providing a nuanced understanding of how early anxieties are managed and integrated within a therapeutic context. The paper will be followed by a discussion on the value of understanding the internal world of the infant. The role of learning to observe an infant’s state of mind, the connection with the maternal and how clinicians scan deepen their understanding of early life experience. Join us for an interesting exploration of the clinical practice of case material.

 

This presentation will not be recorded.
