Opening Doors for Marina and Carina
Ritchey, Margaret
Zero to Three (J), v31 n6 p20-25 Jul 2011
This article describes the process of becoming a more reflective practitioner in the delivery of pediatric physical therapy through attention to 3 challenges: the therapist's resistance to addressing infant-parent mental health issues, the parents' resistance to acknowledging their infants' delays or disabilities, and the therapist's realization that establishing a therapeutic alliance with the parent in order to see the baby they see was essential before the parents could hear the physical therapist's interpretation of the baby's behavior and needs.
