Forms of Feeding at Six Weeks is the first in the series of films about the behavioral and emotional interaction between mothers and infants in the first year of life. More than 100 mother-infant pairs were observed clinically, and the feeding of each infant by the mother was filmed at intervals during the year. Seven types of maternal behavior with infants are examined. A running narrative text outlines criteria for each type and presents brief clinical comments about each pair shown. Drs. Sylvia Brody and Sidney Axelrad, Psychology 1968
This classic seven-part series on infant development is a critical examination of the development of character formation. The series illustrates in striking detail the influence that a mother can have on the emotional and cognitive development of her infant. The films remain as timely and useful today as when they were first released. The series reflects the pioneering research work of the producers, Drs. Sylvia Brody and Sidney Axelrad, at the City University of New York's Child Development Research Project, under a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health from 1963 to 1968. Their work later continued with the support of the William T. Grant Foundation which continued the funding from 1968 to 1973.
