Course:

April 12, 2024 – Nydia Lisman-Pieczanksi, MD and Maria Lima, PsyD

Psychoanalytic Infant Observation – Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic and Usefulness for Clinical Work with Patients of all Ages

Description:

The experience of observing infants began in 1948 at the Tavistock Clinic in London as part of the pre-clinical part of the Child Psychotherapy Training Program. It was founded by Esther Bick, a child psychoanalyst from the British Psychoanalytical Society, and was later introduced at the British Psychoanalytic Institute in 1960. Infant Observations have been sown with incredible fertility throughout Latin America, Europe, USA, Africa, Russia, Iran, and China, among others. In this presentation, I am going to superimpose and connect the experience of observation and its application to clinical practice. Clinical material will be presented for a fruitful conversation on the use of an observational stance with an individual adult patient. Maria Lima PsyD, a graduate from our program, will present the vignettes.
