✦ Synopsis
Thii article reports on a clinical program that has been an obligatory part of the training of child psychiatrists since 1976. It consists of following infant and parent development through the first postnatal year. Although the families who volunteer to participate are not selected on the basis of identified problems or risks, intervention was indicated on several occasions. This training experience has been highly valued by chiid psychiatrists. It also performed functions of primary prevention. It is suggested that if such training programs were established at other institutions and in other clinical fields, the p r i m q prevention of emotional disorders would significantly be promoted.
