Sextuplets: Study of a Sibling Group

Author(s) : Linda Root Fortini, Author(s) : Laura Mori

Reviews and Endorsements

'This is a study of an exceptional group of sextuplets who were observed at home on a monthly basis, for two-hour visits over a three-year period, by Linda Fortini, a psychologist who lives and works in Florence, Italy. We remember those meetings more than twenty years ago when we, six participants like the group of sextuplets, discussed the monthly observations. Our group consisted of a pediatrician, a neonatalogist, an auxologist, two psychoanalysts and the observer. We all had a common interest in research on child mental development and we followed the traditional methodology of Infant Observation established in 1948 at the Tavistock Clinic in London by Esther Bick, a psychoanalyst.'
