anne ile bebek arasında: iki yıllık bebek gözleminden notlar

In this article, the transformable and untransformable experiences of mother-infant interactions observed within the framework of Tavistock Infant Observation for two years will be discussed. In the beginning, it was difficult for the mother to be alone with her baby’s obscurity, anxieties and helplessness. It was challenging for both of them that the mother did not allow herself to experience the “primary maternal preoccupation” and that she and the baby would adapt to daily life. Transformable anxiety when the mother allowed her own reverie capacity was experienced as untransformable experiences when the mother was unable to present her psyche to her baby. The offerings for the mental and physical development of the baby accompanying these experiences supported the early maturity growth of the baby. Around the same time, the mother became pregnant again. With her pregnancy, the mother had established a closer relationship with the observer, allowing the observer to contain the emotions that she realized and could not process. This experience helped to be an experience of containment and holding for both mother and baby. The mother, who understood her baby’s needs during these moments when she could stay with her baby, was also able to offer a play area for both herself and her baby to transform anxieties. In this article, besides this development and transformation of mother-infant in the observation process, the role and transformation of the observer in this experience will also be discussed.
