Help needed

Volunteer needed for Infant observation

I am a doctor carrying out an infant observation course through the British Association of Psychotherapists as a part of the training for analytic psychotherapy.

I am looking for a family living in London that would like to take part. It would involve me visiting the family home weekly to see what is going on in baby?s world. I will interact but will try to avoid initiating anything as the more active I am, the less of an observer I am. It is better if it is a regular time, but I am flexible and will work around the family.

The purpose of this is for me to learn about a growing baby from birth to up to two years and it forms a central part of my training to become a psychotherapist. I will have weekly supervision in a small group setting. Written material and discussion within the group will be anonymous and not contain any identifiable details.

I am a Specialist Registrar in psychiatry working in West london, I completed my medical degree at Imperial College London and am a member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. I have an up to date criminal records bureau check. If you are interested then please contact me for further information or to arrange a brief meeting.

You might have better luck posting on netmums for your borough, or talking to your local NCT, to try to find very pregnant mums, or new babies, local to you?
