This half day event celebrates the long-standing bpf infant observation course, where each year two final papers from students on the course are selected as gold and silver winners of the now Hester Solomon Prize. Hester was one of the inspirations and founders of the bpf infant observation course and championed the experience of observing an infant as foundational for any psychotherapy training. This year, Jennie Hogan will read her gold-winning paper: ‘The Bliss and the Terror of Stillness’ and we are privileged to have Marilyn Mathew give a response. The morning will conclude with an open discussion.
This event is open to anyone interested in infant observation, whether qualified or in training, considering training, already following an infant observation course or just simply curious.
