In this session, TSTB talks to legendary psychiatrist Dr. Bertrand Cramer. Born in 1934 in Geneva, Switzerland, Dr. Cramer moved to New York City at age 26 and graduated from the New York Psychoanalytic Institute. A pioneer in child and infant psychiatry, Dr. Cramer has maintained a private practice for the past 27 years. He has authored eight books, including "The Earliest Relationship" — co-written with Dr. T. Berry Brazelton — and "The Scripts Parents Write and the Roles Babies Play." His 100 or so articles include "Evaluating Mother-Infant Psychotherapies" and "The Transmission of Womanhood from Mother to Daughter." He has taught at Harvard University and Geneva University Medical School and currently lives in Switzerland. In this interview, Dr. Cramer talks about his childhood in Switzerland and his experiences with his own parents and family. He talks about his work studying Munchausen syndrome, his observations on the complex relationships of mothers and children, and his recent studies of children experiencing gender dysphoria. #psychiatry #childpsychiatry #infantpsychiatry #childpsychology #mothersandbabies #mothersanddaughters #tberrybrazelton #familydrama #familysecrets
