This innovative book explains and introduces the use of mindfulness
in therapeutic work with parents and babies, covering issues such
as feeding, crying, sleeping and relating, as well as other
developmental challenges which affect family life, as practiced in
both clinical sessions and in the home. The book is divided into
two parts. Part 1 introduces: (1) what parent-infant psychotherapy
is, its origin and evolution; (2) mindfulness, which consists in
paying attention in a purposeful way in the present moment and not
judgementally; and (3) the development and maturation of the brain
and nervous system and how they are affected by the environment in
utero and after birth. Part 2 then goes on to explore a range of
topics such as parental mental illnesses, immigration, dislocation,
loss, guilt, substance misuse, abuse, post-natal depression,
congenital malformations and the role of fathers. It describes how
these factors impact the parental relationship with, and the
healthy development of the infant, drawing from relevant research
to demonstrate the effectiveness of parent-infant psychotherapy and
mindfulness. The practice of psychoanalytic psychotherapy aided by
mindfulness is a useful intervention for distressed families with
infants, while a mindful approach to oneself and one's baby can
ease parental anxiety and free-loving capacities.
Neurodevelopmental Parent-Infant Psychotherapy and Mindfulness is
an essential resource for clinicians and researchers working on
parent and infant relations and will also appeal to curious new or
future parents.
