Regression periods play a central role in the psychological
development of the human baby. Studies of infants have identified
10 periods of regression, or a return to a high frequency of
mother-infant contact, within the first 20 months of life. These
periods of emotional insecurity in the child signal forthcoming
periods of developmental advance and the emergence of an array of
new skills as a consequence of parent-infant conflict over body
contact and the renegotiation of old privileges. Although the basic
idea in this book is an old one, the authors believe that
regression periods deserve further study and have identified four
questions of central importance today: *Can the phenomenon of
regression periods as found by Dutch researchers in 1992 be
replicated in other countries and cultures? *What environmental
conditions have an effect on these regression periods and how? *Are
there physical conditions in infants that show a non-linear
distribution over age similar to regression periods? *Have brain
changes been detected since the review of Fischer & Rose (1994)
at other ages than the six reported by them, and, if yes, how do
these relate to the ages at which regression periods are found?
Forming the core of this book, the replication studies performed in
Sweden, Spain, and England provide support that regression periods
are a rreliable phenomenon and should be dealt with accordingly
whenever developmental processes in infancy are discussed.
