The study of infant observation is widely used as part of training
to become a psychoanalytic psychotherapist and this book addresses
reasons for this. It examines whether the study of infant
observation can be shown to contribute to the development of the
capacities and skills that are needed for becoming a psychoanalytic
psychotherapist. Considerable attention is given to examining what
these might be and, from looking closely at techniques employed
within a therapy session, the author creates a set of skills likely
to be accepted by the community of practitioners. She also
carefully delineates the views of writers and teachers of infant
observation on what the study of infant observation is thought to
engender in its practitioners. The author describes empirical
research carried out for the book, which shows the considerable
gains that the students made during their training, and it is
suggested that, at least in part, this is a result of their
experience of infant observation. The book concludes that infant
observation greatly enhances many of the capacities and skills
valued in psychotherapeutic work. This in turn raises questions
about the way it is usually taught in psychotherapy training
institutions.
