I can't imagine trying to practice psychiatry with infants. They're too young for both meds and psychotherapy, though I guess their parents could be taught behavioral interventions. I'd be interested in knowing what an infant psychiatrist actually does.

It is all about attachment and responsiveness of the caretaker to infant cues. It is about teaching parents to accept their infant's uniqueness and to help them understand that a two week old infant does not INTEND to irritate them. Ellen Gurney MD, burned out pediatrician
