We understand the comittment that this study involves. Like many research studies it benefts us to observe the same family for the whole program. Please feel free to review the program details at the Washington School of Psychiatry website. I would be happy to provide further details, including references. I am not only a student in this post-graduate course, I am also an infant teacher in an early childhood education program.

We are seeking families who are willing to commit to the observations for the 4 semester program. I would be completing the program in May of 2011 and there would be no summer observations.

Thank You

I am a student in a post-graduate seminar on Infant and Young Child Observation at the Washington Center for Psychoanalysis. Myself and the other students are asked to identify a family with a newborn (under 3 months) that will allow weekly one hour observations to take place of that infant and the interactions between the infant and the members of the family. These observations require little to no interaction between the observer and the family. We are to strictly sit back and observe the infant in the natural environment. I am seeking a family that has had or will be giving birth to their baby within the next month, who would be willing to discuss the observations further.

Thank you

I am a student in a post-graduate program in Infant and Young Child Observation at the Washington School of Psychiatry. I am looking for a family with a newborn, between birth and 10 weeks that would allow me to observe their child beginning this semester and continuing over the next 2 years. This would involve my visiting your home for 1 hour each week, where I would be observing your baby and the interactions between your baby and the other members of the family. I would be happy to provide further information about the program at the Washington School of Psychiatry and the observation study at your request. If you would be interested in allowing me to complete my observations with your family, please contact me via email at bbarb762verizon.net.

Thank You.
