Never before has research on newborn behavior and parent-infant
interaction been fully integrated with psychoanalytic insight into
parents' emotions and fantasies. This book provide a vivid glimpse
of the parents' daydreams and narcissistic wishes which grow into a
desire for a child, and they show how these feelings develop into
important attachments to the unborn infant during pregnancy. The
"power and competence" of the newborn born then challenges parental
fantasies, desires, wishes and expectations, creating the
beginnings of the bond between parent and child. Using the latest
research, the authors clarify all the ways the infant participates
in the dawning relationship and the ingredients of very early
communication and interaction. They then unveil the "imaginary
interactions" which lend meaning and drama to each gesture and
expression. We see the baby as Tyrant, as Savior, or as the
reincarnation of lost relationships. Everyone who cares for mothers
and babies-pediatricians, developmental and clinical psychologists,
psychiatrists, early childhood specialists, nurses and social
workers-as well as interested parents, will find this book of
immediate value.
Defining the demands and expectations that parents place upon their
offspring from the very beginning, this book explains how even the
youngest can adapt to a role that is expected of them. It
demonstrates how parents can transfer problems from their own
childhood into this new relationship.
