The potential importance of «dyadic» and body - based approaches such as infant massage have also been emphasised by developments in the field of infant mental health that have focused attention on the importance of dyadic states of consciousness (Tronick 2007), and parent - infant

kinaesthetic patterns during parent - infant interactions (Shai 2011).
