Reflections on 30 Years in Infant Mental Health: The Intersection of the Personal and the Professional
Ash, Jordana
ZERO TO THREE, v38 n2 p49-54 Nov 2017
Dr. Robert J. Harmon (1946-2006) was a member of the ZERO TO THREE Board of Directors for 20 years, and he was a pioneer in the field of infant mental health. Along with other groundbreaking contributions, he held the view that infant mental health work is deeply intimate and that incorporating personal life experience is a legitimate and meaningful way to advance the field. In this article, the author reflects on Dr. Harmon's legacy to the field as she shares how her personal life experiences have shaped her professional journey and offers implications for using self-reflection as a tool to find deeper meaning and direction in the professional sphere.
