WAIMH Conference Committee and Board members thought this would be an active step toward providing a template for dialogue between professionals around the world who live in areas of confl ict and turmoil. The on-going violence stemming from the deep-rooted confl ict between Palestine and Israel and our strong concern for your sense of safety led the WAIMH Board of Directors to decide to move the Congress from Tel Aviv to Prague. At the same time, the Board decided to preserve the original intent to focus on science as a bridge for dialogue and mutual recognition by working with a joint Local Organizing Committee (LOC), as well as a Scientifi c Committee, made up of Palestinian and Israeli members. Perhaps it refl ects WAIMH’s stubborn commitment to continuous dialogue and peaceful negotiation in face of challenging situations. The LOC’s task is to gather infant mental health professionals from two societies who are in confl ict with each other. It has been doubly challenging to organize the 15th WAIMH Congress in a country far from their own, meeting regularly in spite of complex logistics due to the on-going confl ict. The need for fl exibility, creativity, mutual respect, empathy and tolerance between the two groups became a sine qua none condition for working as a team. Resilience and refl ective stance developed in the course of the LOC meetings (each time in the city of one of the LOC members, such as Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Nazareth…), in parallel to the theme of our Congress: Confl ict, adversity and resilience. We wish to emphasize how much support we have received from our dear colleagues at the WAIMH Offi ce and the Scientifi c committee led by Campbell Paul, and from Guarant Conference Organizer, whose fl exibility, empathy and openness enabled us to go on with the necessary, but unusual fi nancial and logistical arrangements. We all share the strong conviction that this Congress refl ects WAIMH’s ultimate goal to provide a „transitional space“ for spreading scientifi c knowledge in complex and adverse contexts that challenge our infants‘ mental health and, at the same time, promote clinical refl ective skills. In many ways, Prague is the ideal location for our 15th Congress. It is a city with its own history of confl icts, adversities, and resilience for over 1,100-years! To cite a few examples: In the 15th century, humanism and creativity led Charles IV to order the building of The Hunger Wall to provide work in a period of famine; in the 17th century, a Great Fire destroyed much of the city and led to renovation and rebuilding; in the 18th century, Prague faced an epidemic of plague…but more adversity was to come with the 40 years of the Cold war. The short-lived „Prague Spring“ in 1968 is a vivid example of courageous opposition to the mainstream, as it was initiated by Alexander Dubcek under the slogan „the socialism with a human face“. In 1989, the Iron Wall fell with no violence, hence the name of The Velvet Revolution. Today, Prague is home to a number of famous cultural attractions, many of which survived the violence and destruction of 20th century Europe. Main attractions include the Prague Castle, the Charles Bridge, Old Town Square with the Prague astronomical clock, the Jewish Quarter, Petřín hill and Vyšehrad. Since 1992, the extensive historic center of Prague has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. The city boasts more than ten major museums, along with numerous theatres, galleries, cinemas, and other historical exhibits. An extensive modern public transportation system connects the city. It is also home to a wide range of public and private schools, including Charles University in Prague, the oldest university in Central Europe. We, as professionals from multiple disciplines who work in a variety of ways with young children and families, have a strong personal conviction that we have a special role in times of turmoil and confl ict. We are extremely happy to welcome you to Prague and invite you share your clinical, developmental and research work about Infant Mental Health in various contexts of challenges, opportunities, and change.

The newborn baby enters our world with only a small amount of information about what is ahead. The baby has gleaned something about the immediate environment when in utero, but we know that the experiences and health of her parents are going to have a major impact on her evolving sense of self. The broader world all around will have had a major impact upon her parents, her siblings, her grandparents and others who surround her. Their experiences form the scaffold upon which the new baby’s persona develops. The theme of this Congress, “Infant Mental Health in a rapidly changing world: Confl ict, adversity and resilience” refl ects what is happening for babies and families in the 21st century. The world has always been changing, but it is now changing at a very rapid pace. There is an immense number of displaced persons and refugees around the world, with their babies and young children the most vulnerable amongst them. Social disruption, hunger, poverty, and alienation are experienced by many, at the same time as so many of the world’s population are experiencing unprecedented wealth and plenty. As professionals we have been aware of the spectre of violence within the family since the 1970s, as well as the psychological consequences of being in the midst of community and political violence. This increased awareness of the impact of all forms of violence upon infants has been due the efforts of many of our infant mental health colleagues who have also developed a range of evidenced based interventions. This 15th World Congress of WAIMH marks a watershed in our commitment to working for the optimal development of infants within families.
