Growth and Risk in Infancy

More about the book

Focusing on the emotional dynamics between five infants and their parents, this study observes weekly interactions from birth to two years in vulnerable circumstances. It delves into how these relationships shape the infants' development and personality traits, highlighting factors that contribute to risk or resilience. By adopting an exploratory approach, the book aims to generate new theoretical insights into infancy, linking its findings with psychoanalytic and child developmental theories to enhance understanding of early human relationships.
