Title: A Brief Introduction to Infant/Early Childhood Mental Health Description: Join us for a brief overview of fundamental infant mental health theory and practice. In play therapy, we often see themes that have emerged from early childhood. We will cover three different pivotal studies/clinical theories associated with infant mental health to better understand how early childhood experiences and relationships may surface in play therapy. Learning objectives:
1. Understand the assessment process of the Strange Situation as developed by Dr. Mary Ainsworth. This will help us understand how attachment relationships out in play therapy.
2. Introduction to Selma Frailburg's "Ghosts in the Nursery": to understand how family histories play out in relationship and may surface in play therapy.
3. Watch and comment on the "Still Face" experiment developed by Edward Tronick: to consider how depression and parental co-regulation can interfere with play and play therapy.
