A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Martha Harris's book Thinking about Infants and Young Children is truly a seminal work. It remains as lively, insightful and relevant as Martha Harris was as a teacher. This is a book that has not dated. It has accompanied me in my professional work, from London to Melbourne, since 1975, as a valuable resource to me as both clinician and teacher of infant observation. --Ann Cebon, Psychoanalytic psychotherapist (Tavistock), Melbourne, Australia

What makes this book so attractive? Is it the way it raises problems without putting the blame on parents? Is it the deep understanding of children? Is it the simplicity of expression with which complicated and important issues are discussed? All these qualities made the book a great source of inspiration for me. --Miriam Botbol, Author, 'Bebé, Bienvenido al Mundo'; founder member of the Psychoanalytic Group of Barcelona, Spain

Psychic growth is a very complex process throughout childhood. There is no recipe for rearing a child, no good or bad way 'per se' to treat him. Parents must be able to observe each of their children and think about them individually. In limpid language, Martha Harris gives many wonderful illustrations of this way of 'observing and thinking'. --Didier Houzel, Psychoanalyst, professor of child psychiatry, a founder of the GERPEN mother-baby research group, Caen, France
