Summary
Working With Fathers in Psychoanalytic Parent-Infant Psychotherapy interfaces theoretical ideas about fatherhood and their incorporation into the clinical practice of psychoanalytic parent-infant psychotherapy.

Critics Review
“Each baby finds itself in a triad, developing relationships to a father and a mother, regardless if they are present or absent. Roles and representations of mother and fatherhood and real interactions with parental figures shape the developmental world of babies. Each psychoanalytically active person carries representations of father, mother and the family triad in their mind, influencing their work. A foursome, including the therapist as an ‘outsider within’, characterizes psychoanalytic parent-infant-psychotherapy. This wonderful volume, featuring contributions from very experienced authors, opens-up the mind of all protagonists during psychoanalytic processes with families and transmits fresh views and models of integration of maternal and paternal functions.”
- Prof. em. Dr. med. Dieter Bürgin, Traininganalyst of the Swiss Psychoanalytic Society

“A book every clinician and developmental researcher should read. This volume fills a surprisingly neglected gap in our knowledge and literature and does so in a thoughtfully clear manner. Integrating findings from many domains, the authors show us that fathers bring developmentally unique caring to their children.”
