Dan Stern's Voyage of Discovery in the Interpersonal World of Human Movement, and the Gifts He Brought to Us

Pages 42-45 | Published online: 21 Jan 2015
 

SYNOPSIS

Dr Daniel N. Stern worked for 50 years as psychiatrist, psychotherapist and child psychologist. His sensitive researches have transformed our conception of the infant Self, and how from birth we strive to grow our understanding and skills in intimate connection with the affective life of others, creating narratives of dynamic imagination in movement. His theory strengthens the relations between different traditions of therapeutic care, and scientific understanding of how self- confidence in learning grows in mutual awareness.
