This article describes an observation of a Chinese family by a student observer who employed the technique of infant observation to understand the experience of a Chinese infant and her family, and who was supervised in this endeavour by the author. This process is employed worldwide in the education of psychotherapists and psychoanalysts and is also an independent research model for understanding the intimacies of infant development in a wide variety of circumstances.
