✦ Synopsis

It is thought provoking to consider Early Head Start ͑EHS͒ programming against the backdrop of the early work of Selma Fraiberg and more recent models promoting infant mental health ͑IMH͒. What journey are we asking EHS staff to embark on? Will they go on their journey alone or be accompanied by at least one trusted companion? These are important questions to ask when considering relationship-based practice and the interface of IMH and EHS.

Selma Fraiberg established what is believed to be the first Infant Mental Health Program at the Child Development Project in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in 1972 ͑Fraiberg, 1980͒. Over 35 years have passed since the first IMH practitioner knocked on a family's door with the offer of a therapeutic relationship in an effort to respond to an infant and parent believed to be at risk for developmental and relationship failure. In recent years, new models have been designed. Important examples include Interaction Guidance ͑McDonough, 2000͒; Infant-Parent
