Surviving Space is a collection of papers on infant observation and related issues by contemporary experts in the field, commemorating the centenary of Esther Bick and the unique contribution she has made to psychoanalytic theory.

As part of the prestigious Tavistock Clinic Series , this is an essential addition to this highly-valued and innovative series. Infant observation is crucial to most psychotherapy training, and this work would be of obvious value to those commencing their training, as well as valuable insights for all psychotherapists.

Throughout, this book is compelling and essential reading…to all those interested in understanding the complex world of infants and their families. We will do well to read, reflect, and learn. It demonstrates and amplifies her ideas and methods with warm and detailed care. It is a pleasure to read a book which is not afraid of extensive use of first class clinical and observational reporting.

Whether as an introduction to Bick and her uncommon insight into the genesis of primitive states of mind, or as a treat for those who have relied upon her work for years, this book is important and should be read. This book glows with challenge and excitement as we see how far [Esther Bick's] ideas have already been taken. Andrew Briggs is Head of Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy, Sussex Partnership NHS Trust, and an organisational consultant with many years experience working with senior managers and teams within public sector and not-for-profit organisations delivering services to adopted children and children in care.

Attention is paid to factors within the child's personality, to strengths and impediments in the developmental process, and to the family and wider school and community context.
