ABSTRACT
Before discussing some points of your rich and challenging paper, I would like to sketch the background of our cooperation. I met you as a student in 2004, at the Research Training Programme-course in London, initiated by the International Psychoanalytic Association, where Linda Mayes and you directed the course. During that prolific week, you kindly invited me to link my research project on infants and mothers in Stockholm with your Parent Infant Psychotherapy project at the Anna Freud centre in London. Since then, I have been working with your research psychologist, Michelle Sleed. You have been enormously helpful and welcoming; from providing ideas about design, statistics, and the structure of our paper to lending me your collapsible bike. Thus, profiting from your vast knowledge and generosity has been a real treat, and you have taught me many and valuable things.
