Applications of Infant Observation: A Systematic Review

Abstract The article, a systematic review of the literature about the Brazilian scientific production on Bick´s Infant Observation, identified and discussed its possibilities of development, from the use in teaching to the application in academic research, analysing tendencies and tensions. This review was carried out in national databases and the results point out that there is a broadening and revitalization of infant observation in evaluative, preventive and therapeutic applications, as well as in academia, furthering a reflection on the different aspects that the method presents. Furthermore, we discussed aspects of psychoanalytic research, reinterpreted in the complexity of the epistemological implications of research in the university context.
