Training and accrediting
The School of Infant Mental Health (SIMH) is the training department of the Parent Infant Clinic. SIMH is committed to the development of a particular approach to parent infant psychotherapy. It provides a four-year consultation and referral service training for professionals working with under 5s and a 2-year conversion course for psychotherapists who have already trained.
Parent infant psychoanalytic therapy has developed on the basis of the growing understanding of inner forces interacting from birth. These forces exert powerful influences in the way infants will be able to integrate their experiences. Parent infant psychoanalytic therapy focuses on the importance of the attachment relationship to human growth and development from birth throughout life, understanding the role and rule of anxiety and its modulation or moderation which will colour all behaviours as well as allow maturity. |
