Finding Your Way with Your Baby explores the emotional experience
of the baby in the first year and that of the mother, father and
other significant adults. This updated edition is informed by
latest research in neuroscience, psychoanalysis and infant
observation and decades of clinical experience. It also includes
important new findings about how the mother's brain undergoes
massive restructuring during the transition to parenthood, a
phenomenon that has been named 'matrescence.' The authors engage
with the difficult emotional experiences that are often glossed
over in parenting books - such as bonding, ambivalence about the
baby, depression and the emotional turmoil of being a new parent.
Acknowledgement and understanding of this darker side of family
life offer a sense of relief that can allow parents to harness the
power of knowing, owning and sharing feelings to transform
situations and break negative cycles and old ways of relating. With
real-life examples, the book remains a helpful resource for
parents, as well as professionals interested in ideas from
psychoanalytic clinical practice including health visitors,
midwives, social workers, general practitioners, paediatricians and
childcare workers.
This book gathers together selected papers and book chapters by
Dilys Daws, covering her 50 years of pioneering work as a child
psychotherapist. It provides those working with parents, infants,
and children with a means of learning from Daws's decades of
experience as a psychotherapist and therapeutic consultant, with
plentiful case material illustrating her method of working in
action. The first two sections of the book focus on her work as
consultant psychotherapist in the baby clinic of a GP practice and
her parent-infant work in this context as well as at the Tavistock
and Portman Clinic. The third section explores her work with young
children, focusing on questions around the therapeutic frame and
setting. The fourth section features extended excerpts from her
writings for the general public, most particularly aimed at new
parents and parents with infants. Finally, the book also contains
several short reflective pieces addressing themes to do with
parent-infant work, the experience of the therapist, and the social
role of psychoanalytic thinking. This book will be of interest to
all those working with parents and children, including doctors,
health visitors, and social workers, as well as child
psychotherapists and child psychoanalysts.

Sleep problems are among the most common, urgent and undermining
troubles parents meet. This book describes Dilys Daws' pioneering
method of therapy for sleep problems, honed over 40 years of work
with families: brief psychoanalytic therapy with parents and
infants together. Offering tried and tested ways of helping parents
work things out better with their babies when such problems arise,
this new edition of Dilys Daws' classic work, updated with expert
help from Sarah Sutton, frees professionals from the burden of
feeling they need to rush to give advice to families, showing
instead how to begin the challenging journey of discovering new
emotions that every baby brings. It sheds light on the sleep
problem in the context of a whole range of aspects of the early
world: the regulation of babies' physiological states; dreams and
nightmares; the development of separateness; separation and
attachment problems; and connections with feeding and weaning. This
much-needed, compassionate and well-informed guide to helping
parents and babies with sleep problems draws on twenty-first
century development research and rich clinical wisdom to offer ways
of understanding sleep problems in each individual family context,
with all its particular pressures and possibilities. It will be
treasured by new parents struggling with sleeplessness and is
enormously valuable for anyone working with parents and their
babies.
Many parents at some time dread that a child of theirs may be
mentally ill or disturbed. But even after a generation of child
psychology, psychiatry and psychotherapy, they still frequently
fear to admit their fears, and fear the mystery of the remedy as
much as the mystery of the problem. It is therefore important that
parents should come to easy terms with the work of the
psychotherapist, and be reassured that it is based on sympathetic
understanding, not mysteries. It was to explain themselves to
parents and others who work with other young people that sixteen
psychotherapists and analysts (mostly following the principles of
Anna Freud or Melanie Klein and largely drawn from the Hampstead
Child Therapy and the Tavistock clinics in London) decided to
collaborate in the preparation of this book. In it they set out to
describe their work in schools, hospitals, clinics, day centres,
etc and to discuss their fundamental approach to the treatment of
the disturbed child.
Primary care and psychotherapy are in some ways worlds apart. Yet
both deal with the same human fundamentals: birth, death, hope and
disappointment, identity, and uncertainty. This innovative book
looks at how psychotherapists can make use of their skills in
primary care. It examines how therapists, family physicians, and
other primary care professionals can all learn from each other
through clinical collaboration. Each chapter describes a different
practical approach to joint working in a range of primary care
settings, across the life cycle. Specific topics include services
for children and adolescents, working with immigrants, and live
supervision. All the authors are connected with the prestigious
Tavistock Clinic, and are psychotherapists or family physicians.
The book challenges psychotherapists and those who work in primary
care to develop closer working relationships, so that they can
deliver more effective and more equitable services.The
