Assoc. Prof. Campbell Paul is a Consultant Infant Psychiatrist at the Royal Children’s and Royal Women’s Hospitals Melbourne and Honorary Principal Fellow in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Melbourne. With colleagues at the University of Melbourne he has delivered postgraduate courses in Infant and Parent Mental Health since 1992. These courses developed out of longstanding experience in paediatric consultation-liaison psychiatry and infant-parent psychotherapy. He has a special interest in the understanding of the inner world of the baby, particularly as it informs therapeutic work with infants and their parents. With colleagues, he has developed models of working in therapeutic groups with troubled parents and infants.
He has established the Australian training centre for the Newborn Behavioural Observation at the Royal Women’s Hospital Melbourne. Through engaging the baby, the NBO provides a powerful intervention to support the developing infant -parent relationship.
