Psychoanalytic infant observation, developed at the Tavistock Clinic in London in 1948, has become an essential feature of preclinical training in child and adult psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, and related fields throughout the world. Now in its twelfth volume, The International Journal of Infant Observation and Its Applications publishes diverse writings emerging from this field, including the work of psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, social workers, and others. It comprises case studies on infant and young child observation, research papers, and articles focusing on wider applications of the psychoanalytic observational method, including its relevance to professional practice in psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, social work, teaching, nursing, and related fields.
