This pioneering piece of work is based on a BBC series on the work of the Tavistock Clinic, ‘Talking Cure’.
An observation seminar was specially convened and each weekly visit to the two observed children – a baby and a young child – were filmed. Subsequent interviews with leading teachers of infant observation provide the theoretical frame.
The two episodes include a four-part presentation of the fundamental aspects of the observational approach and additional brief extracts from the filmed observations highlighting significant themes.
