This is the second paper in a series of papers concerned with the relevance of infant therapy to the treatment of adults. The detailed presentation of a case of infant therapy illustrates our thesis that (1) early failures in mutual holding lead to a distortion of the body image, to an insufficient development of trust and empathy, and to a difficulty in holding-oneself-up and becoming self-reliant; (2) movement retraining of mother and infant is a method of choice to prevent the sequelae of holding failures; (3) insight gained from infant-therapy through movement retraining helps us understand adult patients whose body attitudes reveal their attempts to hold themselves up by putting strain on their neck, back, or shoulders; (4) the analysis of the defensive use of certain parts of the body for self-support reveals the underlying fear of falling, collapsing or falling apart.
这是一系列探讨婴儿治疗与成人治疗相关性的论文中的第二篇。对一例婴儿治疗案例的详细阐述说明了我们的论点：（1）早期相互拥抱失败会导致身体形象扭曲、信任和同理心发展不足，以及难以支撑自己和变得自立；（2）对母亲和婴儿进行运动再训练是预防拥抱失败后遗症的一种首选方法；（3）通过运动再训练从婴儿治疗中获得的洞察力有助于我们理解成年患者，他们的身体姿势显示出他们试图通过拉紧颈部、背部或肩膀来支撑自己；（4）对身体某些部位用于自我支撑的防御性使用进行分析，揭示了潜在的对跌倒、崩溃或散架的恐惧。
