Working Therapeutically with Infants, Young Children & their Parents

New Zealand · CPD points & talks · Psychologists

What are the unique emotional and psychological needs of infants, and how can psychologists support parents in meeting them? In this insightful and practical talk, clinical psychologist Jenny Perkel draws on her extensive clinical experience and her book Babies in Mind to explore the foundational psychological experiences of infants and young children.

Focusing on the parent-infant relationship, Perkel outlines how clinicians can intervene early to promote healthy emotional development. She discusses key presenting concerns, common parental challenges, and the importance of understanding the psychological meaning behind infant behaviours. The talk also highlights practical ways to work therapeutically with the parent-infant dyad, fostering secure attachment and healthy relational patterns from the earliest stages of life.
