Over a career of nearly forty years, Selma Fraiberg’s integration of social work, psychoanalysis and child development continues to have a profound impact. This presentation, using video excerpts and audio recordings, will outline her career arc: its beginning in group work with disadvantaged children, her untraditional training in psychoanalysis, her contributions to social work education, her recognition as an expert in child therapy and psychoanalysis, her work with congenitally blind children, her groundbreaking innovations in infant mental health and, of course, her prolific writings in psychoanalytic and social work journals, literary and popular magazines, including her classic work, The Magic Years.

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

Identify Selma Fraiberg’s impact on both social work, psychoanalysis and child development.
Identify Fraiberg’s skills in effectively communicating lessons from clinical social work practice to the general public.
Discuss why helping at-risk mothers and infants requires an integration of social work and psychotherapeutic interventions.
