“…The treatment is focused on the mother's trauma-related distress, defenses against trauma-associated affects, as well as on altering trauma-related mental representations-at times, analogous to exorcizing unwanted ghosts. Although this approach has been further developed as a useful mainstay of parent-infant psychotherapy (Cramer, 1995;Lieberman, 1999), critics have questioned its being sufficient to address disturbances in the mother-child interaction and the child's development, especially with traumatized caregivers who manifest significant dissociative psychopathology, and who are thus unable to integrate and sustain the effects of the intervention (Ferholt and Provence, 1976;Main and Goldwyn, 1984;Tronick and Gianino, 1986;McDonough, 2000).…”

“…Parent-infant therapy specifically has been known for several decades, spearheaded by Adelson and Shapiro (1975), Call (1963), Ferholt and Provence (1976), Fraiberg (1971Fraiberg ( , 1980, Greenacre (1971), Greenspan 1981, Lebovici 1983, Spitz (1965, Lieberman and Pawl (1993) and Weil (1970), among others. Although therapeutic interventions are widely available for young children, mother-infant treatment remains less available.…”

A brief mother-infant treatment approach using ''video feedback'' is described. This approach is informed both by psychoanalysis and by research on mother-infant face-to-face interaction using video microanalysis. Two cases are presented. In the first, descriptions of the videotaped interactions which informed the interventions are presented. In the second, knowledge of mother-infant microanalysis research informed the treatment, even though videotaping was not an option. The respective ''stories'' of the presenting complaints, the video interaction, and the parent's own upbringing are linked. Specific representations of the baby that may interfere with the parent's ability to observe and process her nonverbal interaction with her infant are identified. The mother has a powerful experience during the video feedback of watching herself and her baby interact. Our attempts together to translate the actionsequences into words facilitates the mother's ability to

“…Parent-infant psychotherapy has been recognized in the psychoanalytic literature since the 1960s (Call 1964) and 1970s (Fraiberg, Adelson, and Shapiro 1975;Ferholt and Provence 1976;Fraiberg 1971), yet this form of treatment has rarely been available (Beebe 2004). The last decade has shown progress in conceptualizing methods of intervention with parents and infants.…”

Fonagy, and others brought change to psychoanalysis. Following a period of controversy, infant observation came to be considered informative and, eventually, necessary. Attachment theory and ideas about the separation-individuation process in infancy became more widely known. Ideas generated by infant research were met with interest rather than skepticism, and findings began to be integrated into psychoanalytic theory. Beebe, Lachmann, Tronick, and others began the microanalysis of interaction in mother-infant pairs, which led to increased understanding of mutual regulation within the dyad, as well as of a multiplicity of other relational processes. Advances in neuroscience led to further understanding that brain development and attachment relationships mutually influence each other.This progress in the field led us to an even greater appreciation of the importance of the earliest mother-infant relationship; the mother's relational style, the degree of influence of intergenerational patterns, her ability to regulate her own emotional and physiological states and to help the infant do the same, her capacity for reflective function, empathic responsiveness, and attunement--all affect the infant's development of the capacity for self-regulation, reflective functioning, responsiveness, empathy, and the like.When there is disturbance in the early mother-infant relationship, the consequences for the infant may be dire.
