Rachel attended the Family Connection Program (FCP) with her 9-month-old son to learn about infant development so she could her overcome the relational deficits of severe postpartum depression. The FCP fostered connections between Rachel, her son, and other participants through presentations about communication and interaction techniques and about infant and family development. Rachel formed connections within her family and with participants in the FCP. Lessons learned from the experience of working with Rachel and her family include the widespread effects of intervention, the importance of the meaning that individuals make of their experiences, and the importance of understanding the foundations of behavior.
