A collection of descriptions of infant observation and the applications of the method of observing babies as pioneered by Esther Bick. Includes a chapter with transcripts of Esther Bick at work in the role of supervisor for the infant observation of baby Andrea from the age of 12 days to 8 months.

Marisa Pelella Melega came to Rome in 1988 to celebrate the foundation of the first Centro Studi Martha Harris, and to establish a link between the Centro Studi and her initiative in Sao Paulo. The link with the Centro Studi and with the Tavistock proved very fertile and this book is a witness to it. The valuable work documented here exemplifies vividly Martha Harris’ own often-cited statement that psychoanalytical ideas have travelled… and found a home in which to flourish
