Exploring sensitivity and initiative in a mother-baby dyad with Video Intervention Therapy (VIT)
This preliminary report is a single case study aiming to evaluate the feasibility of Video Intervention Therapy (VIT) in difficult scenarios involving high-risk mother-infant dyads in a housing program for homeless families. The study conducted in Clermont-Ferrand, France, used the Coding Interactive Behavior (CIB) system. Ruth Feldman's framework and Stuart et al.'s 4-EFA model was applied. Three VIT sessions showcased personalized interventions…
An Unusual Window
The nonverbal level of the therapeutic relationship, the interplay between how the body of the patient is being composed and how the body of the therapist is being composed, has become a subject which interests many of us. Larry Sandberg’s and Beatrice Beebe’s remarkable article (this issue) give us a number of useful ideas about this level. How can we profit from these descriptions? And concerning the case itself, what further questions to they …
The Primary Care-Video Intervention Therapy for Growth-Vulnerable Infants. A Case Study
Perinatal growth vulnerability (e.g., Small for Gestational Age, SGA) poses the goal to not overlook subtle developmental susceptibilities and their impact on the parent-infant relationship. In this case study, we examined the application of a video-feedback intervention program to support parenting, the Primary Care-Video Intervention Therapy (PC-VIT), specifically developed to fit pediatric care characteristics. The case presentation details th…
Stationäre Eltern-Kind-Behandlung

Weitere Themenschwerpunkte bilden Interaktionsstörungen bei psychisch kranken Müttern sowie Besonderheiten der Psychopharmakotherapie in Schwangerschaft und Stillzeit. Neben den Auswirkungen der mütterlichen Er…
Interactive coordination of currently depressed inpatient mothers and their infants during the postpartum period
In healthy mother–infant dyads, interactions are characterized by a pattern of matching and mismatching interactive states with quick reparation of mismatches into matches. In contrast, dyads in which mothers have postpartum depression show impaired mother–infant interaction patterns over the first few months of the infant's life. The majority of studies that have examined such interaction patterns have drawn on community samples rather than on d…
Interfaces between intersubjectivity and attachment
Despite much new literature on clinical early intervention, background theoretical issues have received less critical attention. In this study, we look at a single mother–infant case from different perspectives. To give the discussion a viable focus, we draw upon two types of specific material: an Adult Attachment Interview (M. Main & R. Goldwyn, 1985–1998) and a video of mother–infant interaction. We elaborate some alternative conceptualizations…
