The First Relationship by Daniel Stern
Daniel Stern's pathbreaking video-based research into the intimate complexities of mother-infant interaction has had an enormous impact on psychotherapy and developmental psychology. Now a noted authority on early development, Stern first reviewed his unique methods and observations in The First Relationship. Intended for parents as well as for therapists and researchers, it offers a lucid and nontechnical overview of the author's key ideas and encapsulates the major themes of his subsequent books.
When I reread The First Relationship I was astonished to find in it almost all the ideas that have guided my work in the subsequent decadesAt first I didn't know whether to be depressed or delighted. As I thought it over, I am encouraged by the realization that I had some basic perspective at the very beginning that was sufficiently well founded to guide twenty-five years of observation and ideas... This book makes it possible to see, or foresee, the unfolding of an intrinsic design. - from the new introduction by Daniel Stern
