Psychiatry*
"I recommend it highly…[T]his volume serves as a timely reminder of
the value of insights gained through infant and child development
research to underpin our own work observing and engaging with
nonverbal language and patterns. Tronick’s most influential papers
are gathered together in this weighty (in all senses of the word)
volume. One of the things that stands out overall in Tronick’s work
is his ability to define terminology, with fine-tuned precision,
for describing significant moments of shared experiences between
mothers and babies. The implications of his work for clinical
psychotherapy with adults are made explicit in some of his later
papers…[A] consistent and key element in Tronick’s research is the
careful, nuanced practice of observation. Rather than necessarily
working from preconceived labels or categories, he tends to derive
categories from observation; in this way he articulates new
definitions and proposes new models of theory. This is one of the
things which has made his work so important in his own field, and
in related fields like dance/movement therapy."
