Abstract

This paper focuses on the lifelong significance of beginnings, endings and transitions and the way in which early experience affects the individual's capacity to manage change, separation and loss. It draws on examples from infant observation and from a postgraduate course for the perinatal mental health workforce. It underlines the value of observation and reflects on the importance of beginnings and endings in professional practice.
