when daniel stern died this november 12th, we lost one of the truly greats in child development research and theory. daniel stern was a psychiatrist, an author and a researcher at what' s now the weill cornell medical college and at the university of geneva, however the key to his greatness was not in his credentials, but in his vision. he had an uncanny ability to detect when child development orthodoxy was off kilter and in need of revision, of seeking the truth and then of finding highly imaginative ways to investigate his theory. impressively, he expressed his findings in words that often read like poetry. an example of this was the accepted worldview in the 1970s - - that infants were born without a sense of self - - that their experiences at birth were
fused
with their mothers - - and that their mission in growing up was to separate from their mothers, to become independent individuals. that view didn' t seem right to stern and he set out to test it. when i once a ...

by colwyn trevarthen daniel n. stern, a new yorker, died in november 2012 after a long illness. a distinguished child psychiatrist and psychoanalyst and a world - famous developmental psychologist, he transformed ideas of human nature in infancy and he made important contributions to his last days. he gave us a theory of how we create and share imaginative stories by rhythmic movements, which he called ‘forms of vitality, ’ a domain that draws satisfaction and regulation from all sensory modalities in a consciousness of movement, and which, “distinct from the domains of emotion, sensation, or cognition, ” gives life to all our ventures. daniel stern as a child dan was, by his own account, observant of people. when he was seven years old, he saw that non - verbal expressions of a baby that were clear to him could be invisible to a talkative parent. he conceived the idea of two languages, one of which, awareness of embodied movement, may become dismissed with age. after studies at ...

together, these studies seem to echo stern’s (2010) proposition that the multimodality of sensorimotor experience is a cornerstone for the emergence of a vitality form. by opposing damasio’s (1999) view, stern (2010) claimed, in fact, that “instead this integration occurs in the sensorimotor system. this suggestion has similarities to the idea of vitality form arising as an emergent property of gestalt from different sources, except that they suggest where this emergence may occur” (p. 49) .

stern credits heard with introducing film acting to him as a possible career path. “john was the very first person i knew to be in a movie, ” he writes. “it had never crossed my mind that that was a thing you could do. ” stern says heard also taught him how to act in films: “when i got my first movie, ‘breaking away, ’ the only thing i really knew about film acting was what i had learn [ sic ] from watching him do it. ”
his personal life is and has been as perfect as him and his career. he was dating his girlfriend laure mattos before the couple decided to get married and live happily as husband and wife. the couple got married in the year 1980 and till now there have been no real rumors of their divorce. he is not gay at all as he has children too. he has a total of three children and their names are ella marie stern, henry stern and the last one is sophie stern. he is not at all cheating on his wife and this means he is not dating any other women or having an extra marital affair. he is a great husband and a great father too. he makes sure that all the wishes and demands of his children are fulfilled .
“we were amazed that he had that kind of cash to throw around, ” the diner actor wrote. “it was so sweet over the years to have our family and home become a place of ‘normalcy’ in john’s otherwise frenetic life. he so loved having his ‘kid brother’ do good and thrilled at our kids’ accomplishments. ”
stern' s letter also went on to praise his
riveting
theater performances, but added that ,
nothing was more intense that john' s performance in life. he lived it hard, fast and fearlessly. he was a romantic and raconteur .

though not explicitly working in the field, the younger stern understands the importance of the entertainment industry to the district. he worked with his father and other hollywood elites to help pass the 2014 film tax credit that would allow for more film and tv the be produced in los angeles .
so obsessed is day - lewis with practising his new skills as a carpenter that he admitted, in a rare interview this week, that his nine - year - old son ronan (the couple also have another boy, five - year - old cashel) thought, until recently, that his father was not an actor but worked on a building site .
the goal of the present article is to deepen the theme of vitality, the topic of daniel n. stern’s last book, forms of vitality, published in 2010, which further conceptualized the vitality affects originally proposed in his book the interpersonal world of the infant, published in 1985. vitality forms characterize personal feelings as well dynamics of movements. they are therefore related to feelings of agency and efficacy, and may be shaped and influenced by early interactions between caregivers and infants. in this ambit, infants experience a sense of personal efficacy and a hedonic pleasure when they are recognized and confirmed by their caregivers. the interactional perspective is further discussed considering psychoanalytical contributions and recent infant research. however, vitality, as stern (2010) highlighted, is grounded in the body and more specifically in the brain. from a neurobiological perspective, we discuss the role of mirror neurons by considering inter subjective exchanges and infantile matching experiences, which influence the sense of vitality .
the early eighties also found heard in prominent roles in films like c. h. u. d. , cat people and martin scorsese’s after hours, where the actor played a seemingly sympathetic bartender. toward the end of the decade, heard found his niche giving depth to supporting roles, whether as tom hanks’ nemesis in big or bette midler’s husband in beaches .
in his lengthy post, stern, 59, told fans that he knew heard as far back as the early ’70s, long before they costarred as wet bandit marv merchants and patriarch peter mccallister, respectively, in the 1990 christmas film and its 1992 sequel, home alone 2: lost in new york .
“nothing was more intense than john’s performance in life, ” stern concluded. “he lived it hard, fast and fearlessly. he was a romantic and a raconteur. he was as loyal and generous as they come. he was a friend and a brother and a legend in his time. rip john. ”

[ in 1983 ] i remember after graduating high school i got a part in a play with the washington shakepeare festiva, a little part. but i remember thinking, this would be a great way of making a living... to be an actor. i never really thought i' d make a lot of money at it. i knew i wanted to act when i was around 14. the only other thing i can really remember wanting to do besides acting was a gas station attendant. at the time that seemed like a great job - wash the windows, pump the gas - it looks so cool coming home with black hands. there' s a natural transition, from wanting to be a gas station attendant to being an actor, right ?
though he hasn' t been prolific in terms of acting roles - whip it and the next three days are his highest - profile recent offerings - stern was given the president' s' call to service award' by barack obama for voluntary work. clearly an upstanding citizen, he' d leave marv merchant completely baffled .
in his last book, stern (2010) raised issues regarding the topic of vitality, which characterized his previous research on infant–mother relationships. outlining human relationships and interactions from birth, including the interactive rhythm and the synchrony, stern created a real lexicon which describes the world of human relationships. however, the most relevant experience in the first months of life, at the base of the theoretical construct of vitality, is the concept of vitality affects, to which stern (1985) dedicated some dense and complex pages in his book the interpersonal world of the infant. stern (1985) was conscious of the complexity of the concept of vitality affects, so he tried to define the meaning as “elusive qualities (which) are better captured by dynamic, kinetic terms” (p. 54). while humans are accustomed to experiencing everyday categorical and discrete affects, from joy to distress and disgust to wonder, widely explored by psychological research, infants’ vital feelings have a specific status—in fact, they appear very early in life when infants begin to experience pleasure and displeasure, fundamentally connected to somatic states. what is typical of vitality affects is the close connection with the vital processes of the body, such as breathing, sleeping, and rising and declining of emotions, which represent a real impingement of the organism in the personal experience. infants, in their early stages of development, integrate all these aspects and begin to recognize, define, and give meanings to these processes. a typical aspect of vitality affects is the contour of emotional activation as “they are experienced as dynamic shifts or patterned changes within ourselves” (stern, 1985, p. 57).
