This article aims to explore the subject of the dialogue between bioenergetic analysis and infant research. The still-face paradigm will be introduced, allowing the processes of self-regulation and interactive regulation to be explored, as well as the bodily root of emotion regulation, and showing a way to use the results of scientific research to enrich our clinical and training resources. Theoretical exposition will be followed by the presentation of a short clinical study, which illustrates the possibility of intervention using this paradigm. notReviewed publishedVersion
