A View from Psychoanalysis and Developmental PsychologyChallenging
the traditional developmental sequence as well as the idea that
issues of attachment, dependency, and trust are confined to
infancy, Stern integrates clinical and experimental science to
support his revolutionizing vision of the social and emotional life
of the youngest children, which has had spiraling implications for
theory, research, and practice. A new introduction by the author
celebrates this first paperback edition.
This book explores the nature of parent-infant psychotherapies,
therapies that are a major segment of the rapidly growing,
sprawling field of infant mental health. It examines the different
elements that make up the parent-infant clinical system.

Noted psychiatrist Daniel Stern brings together exciting new
research on infants and the insights of psychoanalysis to offer an
original theory of how humans create a sense of themselves and
others. This dazzling book represents a truly original, perhaps
revolutionary contribution to psychodynamic theory and
practice.--Arnold Cooper, The New York Hospital-Cornell Medical
Center. Notes, Diagrams/Charts and Index.
This book attempts to create a dialogue between the infant as
revealed by the experimental approach and as clinically
reconstructed, in the service of resolving the contradiction
between theory and reality. It describes the several ways that
organization can form in the infant's mind.
Beginning with the claim that we are psychologically alive only in
the now, internationally acclaimed child psychiatrist Daniel N.
Stern tackles vexing yet fascinating questions such as: what is the
nature of 'nowness'? How is 'now' experienced between two people?
What do present moments have to do with therapeutic growth and
change? Certain moments of shared immediate experience, such as a
knowing glance across a dinner table, are paradigmatic of what
Stern shows to be the core of human experience, the 3 to 5 seconds
he identifies as 'the present moment.' By placing the present
moment at the center of psychotherapy, Stern alters our ideas about
how therapeutic change occurs, and about what is significant in
therapy. As much a meditation on the problems of memory and
experience as it is a call to appreciate every moment of
experience, The Present Moment is a must-read for all who are
interested in the latest thinking about human experience.

Der 8. Band der Lindauer Texte enthalt die Vortrage des Leitthemas
der ersten Woche der Lindauer Psychotherapiewochen: Das Narrativ -
aus dem Leben Erzahltes. Die hier veroffentlichten Vortrage zeigen
die vielfaltigen Moglichkeiten mit Erzahltem umzugehen auf. In den
verschiedenen Formen therapeutischen Handelns wird jeweils anders
erzahlt; Therapeutin und Therapeut laden dazu mit ihrem Setting
recht unterschiedlich ein. Sie haben, auch beruhend auf dem
bevorzugtem theoretischen Hintergrund andere Moglichkeiten, mit
"aus dem Leben Erzahltem" umzugehen. Vieles wird in den Erzahlungen
konstruiert und deutend rekonstruiert, der psychoanalytische Dialog
fuhrt so zu wichtigen Lebenszusammenhangen. Im narrativen Selbst
findet aus dem Leben Erzahltes ein umfassendes theoretisches
Konzept.
Daniel Stern's pathbreaking video-based research into the intimate
complexities of mother-infant interaction has had an enormous
impact on psychotherapy and developmental psychology. His minute
analyses of the exchanges between mothers and babies have offered
empirical support and correction for many theories of development.
In the complex and instinctive choreography of "conversations,"
including smiles, gestures, and gazing, Stern discerned patterns of
both emotional harmony and emotional incongruity that illuminate
children's relationships with others in the larger world.
Now a noted authority on early development, Stern first reviewed
his unique methods and observations in "The First Relationship,"
Intended for parents as well as for therapists and researchers, it
offers a lucid and nontechnical overview of the author's key ideas
and encapsulates the major themes of his subsequent books.
"When I reread "The First Relationship" I was astonished to
find in it almost all the ideas that have guided my work in the
subsequent decades. At first I didn't know whether to be depressed
or delighted. As I thought it over, I am encouraged by the
realization that I had some basic perspective at the very beginning
that was sufficiently well founded to guide twenty-five years of
observation and ideas...This book makes it possible to see, or
foresee, the unfolding of an intrinsic design."--from the new
introduction by Daniel Stern
In his new book, eminent psychologist - Daniel Stern, author of the
classic The interpersonal world of the infant, explores the
hitherto neglected topic of "vitality" - that is, the force or
power manifested by all living things.
Vitality takes on many dynamic forms and permeates daily life,
psychology, psychotherapy and the arts, yet what is vitality? We
know that it is a manifestation of life, of being alive. We are
very alert to its feel in ourselves and its expression in others.
Life shows itself in so many different forms of vitality. But just
how can we study this phenomenon? Till now, this has been a topic
considered impervious to any kind of scientific study, but
according to the Stern, it is possible to trace vitality to real
physical and mental operations-- including movement, time,
perception of force - as well as spatial aspects of the movement
and its underlying intention. Within this fascinating book he shows
how an understanding of vitality can help the psychotherapeutic
process (including a look at the developmental origins of forms of
vitality) and looks at how these theories of vitality might fit
with our current knowledge of the workings of the brain.
Truly a tour de force from a brilliant clinician and scientist,
Forms of Vitality is a profound and absorbing book - one that will
be essential reading for psychologists, psychotherapists, and those
in the creative arts.
