Serge Lebovici

Elements of Baby Psychopathology

Review of the Press

Pratiques en santé mentale

« Whether one belongs to Professor Serge Lebovici's fan club or detractors , one cannot be but admirative in front of the new training tool Starfilm International has just published, of which he is the main initiator and star of the first title.[…]

This first title, Elements of Baby Psychopathology, essentially relies on the practice of therapeutic consultation and in particular on several clinical cases. […] The constant comings and goings between theory and clinique are making this tool whose authors wanted to personalize as far as to plan a " right of reply" for each user via a self-assessment on CD-Rom and an e-mail box lively. […]

We may have liked that the various appealed contributors had allowed themselves to be a little more critical toward the master, because all this remains very consensual… It is nevertheless a very well conceived tool that deserves our attention and our devotion of several hours of our precious time. The best may be to watch these films with several people and to carry on the discussion in the service or the institution…

We are asking for more and we are starting to regret that the series only deals with the dawn of life, even if Starfilm promisses many other titles in the field of the early infancy. »
