Can you explain, in brief what Parent/Infant Psychotherapy is and what sessions entail?
Parent/Infant Psychotherapy is essentially concerned with understanding what may be happening within developing relationships and accordingly is tailored to think about each individual presentation. This flexibility means that it is not a ‘one size fits all’ approach and while some children’s difficulties may require a brief intervention, others may require more over a longer period.
