7-WEEK ONLINE INFANT OBSERVATION SEMINAR BEGINS OCTOBER 19, 2018 Offered by the Anni Bergman Parent-Infant Program in Conjunction with the Contemporary Freudian Society Instructor: Dorinda Welle, PhD

We will explore how this observational stance may serve to contain the dyad and the infant’s development.
