ABSTRACT

The clinical material also illustrates the interweaving of the psychodynamic formulation/s with the material of parent and baby. The therapist’s formulations, whether intuitive, conscious in the moment, or formulated between sessions or in retrospect, are the professional cornerstone of her interventions. These are made explicit to the reader, step by step, as the process of the therapy is described. The changes in the patient/s’ material, woven into the interactions as well as enacted, validate or disconfirm her thinking.
