The Origins of Attachment: Infant Research and Adult Treatment
addresses the origins of attachment in mother-infant face-to-face
communication. New patterns of relational disturbance in infancy
are described. These aspects of communication are out of conscious
awareness. They provide clinicians with new ways of thinking about
infancy, and about nonverbal communication in adult treatment.
Utilizing an extraordinarily detailed microanalysis of videotaped
mother-infant interactions at 4 months, Beatrice Beebe, Frank
Lachmann, and their research collaborators provide a more
fine-grained and precise description of the process of attachment
transmission. Second-by-second microanalysis operates like a social
microscope and reveals more than can be grasped with the naked eye.
The book explores how, alongside linguistic content, the bodily
aspect of communication is an essential component of the capacity
to communicate and understand emotion. The moment-to-moment self-
and interactive processes of relatedness documented in infant
research form the bedrock of adult face-to-face communication and
provide the background fabric for the verbal narrative in the
foreground. The Origins of Attachment is illustrated throughout
with several case vignettes of adult treatment. Discussions by
Carolyn Clement, Malcolm Slavin and E. Joyce Klein, Estelle Shane,
Alexandra Harrison and Stephen Seligman show how the research can
be used by practicing clinicians. This book details aspects of
bodily communication between mothers and infants that will provide
useful analogies for therapists of adults. It will be essential
reading for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists and graduate students.
