ABSTRACT
In a persistent quest for understanding of what animates life and produces human experience, Daniel Stern was able to put the unspeakable into words. Impregnated with the world of childhood, he described the Forms of Vitality, rendering as never before the ubiquity of the music of life that animates and underlies the unfolding of movement and action. This concept opens new horizons for many disciplines.
Examples will describe advances in neuroscience or for the diagnosis of autism, as well as the essential function of human relationships in early development.
