The Motherhood Constellation ─ A Unified View of Parent-Infant Psychotherapy

Stern presents a major synthesis of the newly exploding field of infant mental health and creates a new model of treatment. He shows the critical elements of any parent-infant clinical system: the parents’ representations of the relationship with the baby, their overt interactions, the infant’s representations of these interactions, and the role of the therapist.
