ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
Donald Winnicott, a British pediatrician and psychoanalyst, made the
famous statement in 1940 that has changed the way we think about
infants. The Infant- Parent Psychotherapy (IPP) is an infant/child –
parent relationship led intervention, developed by Elizabeth Tuters
& Sally Doulis. This model emphasizes pregnancy, birth and the
early development of the infant/young child within the context of
relationships - past and present, family and culture. The model of IPP
is called OUR– Observation-Understanding-Reflection – wherein play is
the medium, and change occurs through the action of observation,
understanding and reflection.
The participants will have the opportunity to learn about the
treatment model of dynamic Infant-Parent Psychotherapy through
selected reading materials and a presentation of clinical material
This IPP model is a treatment intervention for parents and young
children, as well as older children
LEARNING OBJECTIVES

clinical work;
