Description of Services |
E. Z. Tronick is an internationally known researcher,
teacher and clinician. Dr.Tronick's research has focused on
social-emotional development in infants and young children. He developed
the Face-to-Face Still-Face paradigm and has carried out numerous studies
on emotional development of normal and high risk infants (e.g., drug
exposed, VLBW) and the effects of parental affective disorders (e.g.,
depression, anxiety) and drug use (e.g., cocaine) on development.
Currently, he is working on the simultaneous relations of the infant’s and
mother’s autonomic nervous systems and affect, on the interactions of
borderline mothers and their infants, interactions at home between
depressed mothers and infants, and the effects of hospitalizing severely
depressed mothers with their infants. He developed the Model of Mutal
Regulation of infant-mother interaction and has written extensively on the
relation between therapeutic change and the change in the infant-mother
dyad and the co-creation of dyadic states of consciousness in infant
interactions and in therapy. With Dr. Krisite Brandt he co-founded and
co-directed the Napa Infant Mental Health Training program. He was also a
founder of the Touchpoints project. Clinically Dr. Tronick has worked on
problems of the mental health of infants and children and their
relationship disorders. He is on the Faculty of Fielding University, a
member of the Boston Psychoanalytic Institute and Society and a frequent
speaker at international conferences. |
