Little research has delved into the everyday, simple, and long-term experience of maternal holding, particularly after the first year of a child's life. The research that has been conducted commonly examines holding through the lens of attachment, focusing on the impact of holding on the child. Employing an arts-based collaborative inquiry approach, participants' stories of holding, as well as the author's own, convey the significant maternal experiences of holding their children over individual arts therapeutic sessions. Optimal moments of holding included strange, powerful, and meaningful experiences of expansion into self-in-relationship. Attention is drawn to the ways in which holding can alert us to the current state of mother/child relationships; how we understand, story, and structure those relationships; and the ways in which we can attend to holding to develop deeply satisfying experiences of a mother/child 'us.
An Arts Therapeutic Approach to Maternal Holding aims to shed light on the intersubjective nature of the mother/child relationship, explore the significance of holding, and provide practical suggestions for therapeutic practice. This book is a must-read for therapeutic practitioners and those in allied health fields who work with mothers and children.
