Learning Objectives
Themes
Nowadays the Child Observation is applied in different professional contexts and proves to be a crucial technique especially for those who work in the development field. In particular, the observation of the caregiver-child relationship favors the detailed knowledge of infantile dynamics, allowing the integration of what is precocious in the child - detectable with observation - and what remains implicit - which instead emerges through analysis ( Winnicott, 1941).
The method of Child Observation consists in specific techniques for collecting materials and for processing, detecting and interpreting them: the observer, involved in the relationship with the child, properly trained, learns to keep his or her attention fluctuating, recording in memory the details of some significant moments and monitoring their own emotional experiences and then sharing these experiences with other observers (Zaphiriou Woods & Pretorius, 2016)
The aim of this Summer School is to provide the participant, through study, discussion, practical experimentation and seminars conducted by professionals and psychoanalysts, the fundamental skills to realize an effective interpretative work about the clinical and dynamic aspects of the observative materials.
The summer school teaches the intentional use of Child Observation, based on psychoanalytic discoveries, offering the possibility of a space for reflection for observers’ affects, detected during the casework and discussion sessions. Will also be prefigured Intervention lines that take into account the emotional involvement in the various professional contexts. The examination of the affects will contribute to the development of an interpretative prudence, allowing participants to learn to avoid errors, misunderstandings and oversights related to the over-evaluation of sensory "impressions", to the predominance of emotional reactions that can develop at the moment of impact with the observed situation or to the prejudicial beliefs that adults bring into play in the relationship with children even in an unintentional way.
The training will alternate moments of theoretical study with moments of discussion and casework in order to favor the re-elaboration of the experience through small-group-work. Participants will be invited to present observative materials in order to practice the theoretical contents and practical techniques presented step by step during the training days.

Objectives
The competence in Child Observation is considered a cross-competence both in the helping professions and in the forensic, clinical and educational professions. The specific professional skills, integrated with the technically motivated exercise of Child Observation in different contexts, will favor effective interventions.
Emotional involvement and professional dynamics of observers will be more oriented to the best interests of the child. Training in the exercise of Child Observation in different contexts can be presented as an integral part of continuing professional training. Will be started the procedures for the recognition of ECM credits in the health and forensic sectors and at the social worker order Teachers and educators can apply the certificate of participation in their permanent training platforms.
For those who work with children, the training that improves the competence to observe specificities of relational and intellectual childhood experience is essential. It is a cross-competence that increases and supports the different professional specificities of those who work in the developmental field. Psychologists, doctors, pediatricians, social workers, speech therapists, child neuropsychiatrists, educators, teachers, pedagogists, child advocates, school administrators, psychotherapists can learn specific techniques of Child
Observation in order to listen, understand and learn how can respond to specificity of his behavior and his thoughts.
