PSYCHOANALYTIC BABIES: TOWARD A RELATIONAL-DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOANALYSIS
In learning about various infant-parent interaction patterns, we have a platform to think analogously about the non-verbal, emotional, and interactive levels of a treatment between therapist and client. Weaving together classical psychoanalytic thinking with the latest intersubjectivist-relational findings, including research in attachment, infant-parent interaction, developmental neuroscience, and trauma, this presentation will consider these analogies and ask how analytic practice can or cannot be helped by thinking about infants and children. To the discussant, Steve Seligman, these explorations often illuminate previously unseen aspects of a patient's lived experience, especially as it pertains to the body. Video illustrations, case material, and a review of the history of developmental psychoanalysis will be offered, as well as a description and comparison of various "analytic babies" (i.e., Freud's baby, Klein's baby, Winnicott's baby, the relational baby) will be made to help articulate these points.
