    The Mother-Infant Interaction Picture Book:
    Origins of Attachment
    by Beatrice Beebe, Phyllis Cohen, and Frank Lachmann

    Using video microanalysis—which captures moment-to-moment sequences of interactions—Beatrice Beebe and her colleagues have turned their lens on the most primary of relationships, mother and infant. This process becomes a “social microscope,” enabling readers to see subtle details of interactions which are too rapid and complex to grasp in real time with the naked eye. These moment-to-moment sequences teach us to see how both infant and mother affect each other. We see that infants at four months are already extraordinarily communicative and responsive to the movements and emotions of the partner. These interactions can be used to predict a range of future attachment styles. They enable researchers to translate infants’ nonverbal language and provide a unique and rare window into child development. Lushly illustrated by Dillon Yothers, these drawings reveal the emotions, but conceal the identities, of the mothers and infants.

    “This book by Beebe, Lachmann, and Cohen is the equivalent of finding a map that illustrates the actual routes – the moment-by-moment forms of action - that lead not only to the complex land of attachment, but to the richer and more complex world of relationships and how they are organized.” —Ed Tronick, Distinguished Professor, University of Massachusetts Boston

    “Describing, measuring and charting the wonders of the co-created mother-infant relationship, have long been the legendary micro-analytic domain of baby-whisperer and psychoanalyst Beatrice Beebe. . . This unique book and accompanying video will be an invaluable training tool for those working in a range of mental health professions from adult psychotherapy to early childhood practitioners. Extensively cited and hugely influential in psycho-analytic and developmental psychology research circles, core elements of this vital work are now being made available to the world. What a gift!” 
    —Miriam Steele, New School for Social Research
