Daniel Stern's pathbreaking video-based research into the intimate
complexities of mother-infant interaction has had an enormous
impact on psychotherapy and developmental psychology. His minute
analyses of the exchanges between mothers and babies have offered
empirical support and correction for many theories of development.
In the complex and instinctive choreography of "conversations,"
including smiles, gestures, and gazing, Stern discerned patterns of
both emotional harmony and emotional incongruity that illuminate
children's relationships with others in the larger world.
Now a noted authority on early development, Stern first reviewed
his unique methods and observations in "The First Relationship,"
Intended for parents as well as for therapists and researchers, it
offers a lucid and nontechnical overview of the author's key ideas
and encapsulates the major themes of his subsequent books.
"When I reread "The First Relationship" I was astonished to
find in it almost all the ideas that have guided my work in the
subsequent decades. At first I didn't know whether to be depressed
or delighted. As I thought it over, I am encouraged by the
realization that I had some basic perspective at the very beginning
that was sufficiently well founded to guide twenty-five years of
observation and ideas...This book makes it possible to see, or
foresee, the unfolding of an intrinsic design."--from the new
introduction by Daniel Stern
