Program Description
Infant Observation as a training instrument has been found to help analysts and psychotherapists in training to contact infantile experience in an actual infant as well as within themselves. The value of this tool in training has been deeply researched by Dr. Sternberg, who will present some of her findings that support this claim. The usefulness of this in-vivo tool has also encountered many impediments and criticisms. This conference will highlight the value and explore some obstacles to the future of the Infant Observation experience. 


Target Audience
MD's, Psychologists, LCSW's, MFT's, Registered Nurses, candidates and members of psychoanalytic institutes, and student clinicians who are interested in psychoanalytic training programs.


Course Objectives
At the end of this activity, participants should be better able to:
: Name three skills developed over an Infant Observation;
: Differentiate Infant Observation from reading about infantile states;
: Identify three therapeutic qualities Infant Observation helps to develop.
