Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust Infant Observation
Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust Infant Observation and beyond: a collection of resources to support the study of psychoanalytic Infant Observation. Compiled by Georgia Cowley This collection of visual, audio and literature resources has been compiled and thematically organized with a view to stimulating students’ engagement with psychoanalytic observation and make links with child development research. The pack is designed to augment student’s experience of traditional infant observation practice and seminar teaching, as well as encourage curiosity about the wide breadth of research and mainstream programming the study of children and infants has inspired. We hope it will contribute to student’s motivation to explore resources, encouraging them to look into contemporary perspectives on the subject. The thematic exploration of the Journal of Infant Observation found towards the end of this pack is designed to make it easy for students and teachers to source contemporary literature as well as review the scope, limitations and applications of the method which has accumulated over the last ten years.

Youtube There is a growing body of resources available on youtube which may be used to illustrate ideas to students or set the scene for a topic of discussion. Here are some examples of the types of videos you might start looking for. Laboratory experiments: While these experiments employ very different methods to traditional infant observation they may help students make links between child development research material and the seminar discussions, which are rooted in the observational material and psychoanalytic thinking. • Still face experiment: https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=apz.

The Journal of Infant Observation While comprehensive readings lists are available course handbooks, students may feel there areas in which they would like to deepen their understanding by exploring contemporary contributions to the literature. This may especially be the case as they come to the end of their observational journey and they start to think about the possible applications of their newfound knowledge. The Journal of Infant Observation is a great place to start to do this. In the following pages the last ten volumes of the journal have been organized into themes and presented as reading lists. On the following page you will find a spider diagram of the topics arranged thematically into groups and subgroups. To skip to your desired slide simply view the show and click on the bubbles. To return to the diagram press the blue arrow in the bottom left. You can access the papers via the library catalogue or on the journal page using your shibboleth log in. I hope this resource will give students an idea of the immense scope of infant observation both as a tool of research and as a therapeutic intervention. It may also stimulate students to think about what they could contribute to this growing body of work.
