Abstract:
By discovenng infants and their inner world, medical students also learn to look inside themselves. This experience prepares them to know the world of their own emotions in order to be able to work with the emotional lives of patients. The progressive increase in the need for psychotherapeutic care, the revolutionary contributions by studies and research on infants; and the undeniable advantages of providing the most intense experience possible for undergraduate medical students in communitybased clinics justify the inclusion of psychotherapeutic training in the curriculum. ln the second semester, each student begins a follow-up on a mother and her infant, thereby grasping both the unique and multiple characteristics in the broad range of individual and social health anel disease. Families and social groups provide exhaustive evidence of what is needed for infant care. Therefore, students should experience most of their learning in the community. This work raises students' awareness concerning the importance of the first years of life for developing the child's personality and preventing numerous diseases in adulthood. If we give the floor to children, they will make excellent speeches. And doctors-in-training should listen to them.
