Infant Observation Course
|
Observing infants at home with their families over an extended period of time provides a foundation for understanding infant development and the developing parent-child relationship. Observers have the opportunity
to study relational patterns in the making and view how infants and their mothers/families become a part of each other’s world. Observers become tuned in to the intricate and subtle nuances of infant development and
the evolving parent-infant relationship. This approach enhances participant ability to attend to the delicate complexities of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors observed in the relationship as well as their own internal reactions and feelings.
Participants in this course will be guided through a process of observation that includes prearranged weekly visits to a parent-infant dyad. Detailed process recordings are written soon after the visit. Notes will be read and discussed in the seminar meeting every other week for 1.5 hours. Some readings will be included that help with the process of observation. The weekly observation visits will last the length of the course from late September through June.
