This is an important text that synthesizes diverse literatures and
theories on infant development into a coherent framework that
illuminates the essence of infancy for all those who have infants,
study infants, teach about infancy, make policy with respect to
infant welfare, and work medically or therapeutically with mothers
and their infants. It brings together in one volume the principal
theories of infant development, beginning with Freud s vision of
the Oedipal infant, moving through the post-Freudian
conceptualizations of the infant of Anna Freud, Melanie Klein, and
the British Independents with Donald Winnicott as exemplar, then to
the attachment theorists, the intersubjective theories, the
cognitive developmental psychologists, examining the work of Jean
Piaget and the neo-Piagetian cognitive theorists, and then
concluding with the modern infant of developmental neuroscience and
an examination of the neurobiology of attachment, stress, and care
giving. This is a book of depth and breadth that makes the infant
come alive in the minds of readers. It challenges cherished beliefs
about the nature, capacities and developmental pathways travelled
by infants into childhood and beyond and argues that our inner
infant is never far from our adult selves. It will be useful for
students of psychology, psychotherapy, child care and education;
psychologists; social workers and infant and child policy makers;
psychiatrists; and parents and anyone who has an interest in
finding out what infants think and feel and how they relate to
their world."
