Now 88 years old, Dr. Bertrand Cramer is one of the world's most respected child and adolescent psychiatrists. With his book "The Scripts Parents Write and the Roles Children Play," Dr. Cramer delivered breakthrough insights on the power of family stories to influence childhood development. He also collaborated with best-selling author and fellow psychiatrist T. Berry Brazelton on the now-classic work "The Earliest Attachment: Parents, Infants, and the Drama of Early Attachment." In this excerpt from our forthcoming full interview with Dr. Cramer -- who lives in Switzerland -- he talks about the inherent connect between psychiatric practice and stories -- a link that can be traced all the way back to Freud. #psychiatry #psychiatric #childpsychiatry #childhoodfears #parentsandchildren #parentsandkids #familystories #attachment #childhood #sigmundfreud #carljung #stories #storytelling #storytellers #tberrybrazelton #bertrandcramer
