How do we arrive at our hypotheses about the needs of the family and the baby?

Every domain of development is our concern.  Relying too heavily on information from one area underestimates the value of another.  We all need each others’ expertise in our work.  The more attentive we become in working together, the smarter we are in our own work.
When you watch a baby and parent interact, the lens of your own discipline colors what you see, and how you interpret your observations.   If you are a mental health provider, you may be wondering about maternal depression or attachment disorder.
