Example text
These were paediatricians whom I had contacted at Mt Sinai while I was paediatric resident, and at New York Hospital, and it was a very interesting kind of referral because what they would say was, “Well, I trust you because you were a paediatrician and you knew something about it, and I will refer this to you”. I used to be so swamped, I would dread another phone call; but they would insist that I see the child myself, if only very briefly, and then refer them. Their feeling of confidence was certainly based on the fact that they knew me as a paediatrician; about psychiatrists they felt that they didn’t really know any of them and they were strange people.
I saw that often a girl’s receiving a doll or a doll carriage when she was at the height of her pre-oedipal anxiety was crucial in her turning very strongly and erotically toward the father. He was the one who acknowledged her femininity. She sought him out, and he responded, and then came her increasing interest in dolls. My father was extremely loving and gave me dolls, dolls, dolls, and from early on I liked to make doll’s clothes. My pleasure in that experience contributed both to my later interest in observing children and to the satisfaction that I found in being a mother.

Detection and intervention, I think, is most effective when done before the first two years of life are over, hopefully before the first year is over. That is where I think our efforts should go. MS: Intervention by anybody that can help: paediatricians, nurses, psychiatrists? EG: Right. And for the first time, the Academy of Pediatrics has asked the Academy of Child Psychiatry to come in on a joint venture in which we are setting up institutes where both paediatricians and child psychiatrists will hear about work done during the infancy period.
