In this In Conversation podcast, Professor Sam Wass is joined by Dr. Celia Smith to discuss the science-facing findings of their JCPP Annual Research Review “‘There, the dance is – at the still point of the turning world’ – dynamic systems perspectives on coregulation and dysregulation during early development” and the implications of their findings for practitioners.
Learning Objectives
1. Brief overview of the methods used to study early child-caregiver interactions.
2. How new measurement techniques is driving new theory.
3. An overview of the clinical interactions currently available focused on child-caregiver interaction in the 0-3 age range.
4. Insight into six key areas relating to different processes of coregulation and dysregulation in the parent-infant pair.
5. What the reviews find in terms of cultural bias, especially as ideas around caregiver and infant interactions are often based around wester ideals, and how this can be addressed.
