• Donald W. Winnicott (The maturational processes and the facilitating environment. Studies in the theory of emotional development. Karnac, London, 1990) once said “There is no such thing as a baby.” By this he meant that wherever there is an infant, there is also a mother or parent caring for the infant. From the outset, the infant is involved in a lively exchange with the world and its primary caregivers, which it is constantly introjecting and projecting onto. For this reason, in psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy, the quality of relationship regulation between parent and infant plays a central role. In order to establish the focus of treatment, one must answer the question of whether—and perhaps also in what way—is the emotional-interactional exchange between parents and infant impaired.
