Ilene Lefcourt and Alexandra Harrison discuss emotional development during the first three years of life. Ms. Lefcourt speaks about how she helps parents to discover connections between their childhood memories and current interactions with their babies and toddlers – everyday “ghosts in the nursery.” She describes in detail many examples of parent’s insights that enable them to resolve typical developmental and parenting difficulties. Dr. Harrison, with her international and relational expertise as a child psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, probes and thereby deepens and expands the conversation about early emotional development.
