The Infant Parent Training Institute (IPTI) at Jewish Family and Children's Service of Greater Boston offers integrated clinical and theoretical infant mental health training. The curriculum reflects the belief that nurturing and reflective relationships promote optimal learning and growth. A specialty in infant mental health requires knowledge about development, about relationships, and about oneself. IPTI explores these areas of study through: (a) didactic and integrative seminars on infant research, developmental theory, and treatment; (b) a year-long naturalistic observation of a parent-infant pair; and (c) supervised clinical work with parent-infant dyads.
