Recording available -Birds, Beast and Babies: Notes from an Infant Observation

An award winning paper by Sally McLaren

Sally describes her experience of a two-year Jungian Infant Observation. This takes her into a number of different areas: into the content and symbolism of what she observed, into the relationships between observer and child, mother and infant, analyst and analysand and into stories and mythology. As images and symbols are amplified threads link together. Synchronicity is one of the uniting factors. Beasts appear – the goldfinch, the fly, the Gruffalo, the mouse, the Wild Things . . . and more – and she considers how these might offer a window into Max’s inner world. She focuses on the interface between internal and external worlds and reflects upon the concept of an intermediate space and the question of meaning.
