Since Freud’s exposure of the fallacy of childhood innocence, the early years have been subject to intense scrutiny. The mind of the infant and small child, far from being a blank screen, is now understood to be actively receiving, organizing and adapting to a myriad of internal and external events.
Speakers for this conference come with seminal views of both the ferment and inchoate ordering In the mental life of infants. Psychoanalysts have considered the internal psychic events of this Period crucial in forming the foundation for later personality development. Others emphasize powerful forces outside the infant, i.e. the parent, or social structures. Others point to the discontinues in individual development which suggest that there are powerful internal forces which operate later in childhood or adolescence. These core issues culminate in a final panel discussion.
