Review
I recommend it highly [T]his volume serves as a timely reminder of the value of insights gained through infant and child development research to underpin our own work observing and engaging with nonverbal language and patterns. Tronick s most influential papers are gathered together in this weighty (in all senses of the word) volume. One of the things that stands out overall in Tronick s work is his ability to define terminology, with fine-tuned precision, for describing significant moments of shared experiences between mothers and babies. The implications of his work for clinical psychotherapy with adults are made explicit in some of his later papers [A] consistent and key element in Tronick s research is the careful, nuanced practice of observation. Rather than necessarily working from preconceived labels or categories, he tends to derive categories from observation; in this way he articulates new definitions and proposes new models of theory. This is one of the things which has made
Product Description
Over the course of his esteemed career, he has received funding for hundreds of key studies in the US and abroad on normal and abnormal infant and child development including his Mutual Regulation Model and Still-Face Paradigm, which revolutionized our understanding of infants emotional capacities and coping all of which led to critical contributions in the field. Much of his work serves as the benchmark for how mental health clinicians think about biopsychosocial states of consciousness, the process of meaning making, and how and why we engage with others in the world.
Now, for the first time, Tronick has gathered together his most influential writings in a single, essential volume. Organized into five parts (I) Neurobehavior, (II) Culture, (III) Infant Social-Emotional Interaction, (IV) Perturbations: Natural and Experimental, and (V) Dyadic Expansion of Consciousness and Meaning Making this book represents his major ideas and studies regarding infant-adult interactions, developmental processes, and mutual regulation, carefully addressing such questions as:
What is a state of consciousness?What are the developing infant s capacities for neurobehavioral self-organization?How are early infant-adult interactions organized?How can we understand the nature of normal versus abnormal development?How do self and mutual regulation relate to developmental processes?Is meaning making purely a function of the brain, or is it in our bodies as well?
As a bonus, the book includes a DVD-ROM, with video clips of Tronick s Still-Face Paradigm, an invaluable teaching aid.

Revealing and integrative.
12 Aug 2007
Format:Hardcover
Tronick's research from the empirical studies of infant neurobehavior, cross-cultural parenting styles, mother-infant interaction to the still-face studies have shaped a generation of reserach on infancy. In this wonderful compendium he brings it all together with his integrative models of mutual regulation and meaning making and now his dynamic systems perspective on the expansion of dyadic states of consciousness. The book is revealing, almost page by page of new ideas and insights, and is filled with implications for new research and reconceputalizing psychotherapeutic process. It is no less than a tour de force.
