"In every nursery there are ghosts. They are the unremembered past of the parents; the uninvited guests at the christening..." (Fraiberg, 1975).
In a special HALLOWEEN EPISODE, hosts psychologists Stephanie Heck and Eric Spiegel discuss a seminal paper by the mother of Infant Mental Health, Selma Fraiberg. The ideas they discuss may spook you out, since this show's about how a parent's own past can actively shape their their baby, for better or worse! They also talk about how parental awareness and social support can change the story for babies...and, ultimately, for society!
