Parent-Infant Centrifugalism and Centripetalism

Professor Emerita of Developmental Ethology at Waseda University.
His research focuses on the adaptive function of negativity between mothers and infants. He originally developed his ideas from a species comparison of primate mother-infant relationships. Special attention has been paid to Kowakare, the process of weaning by mother-infant repulsion, and allomothering by the system of objects, people, and institutions. He is also interested in the balance of centrifugalism and centripetalism between parents and infants in different cultures including remote islands of Okinawa and Scotland. Parent-infant symbiosis and their co-regulation embodied in everyday parent-child interactions of request, acceptance, rejection, and distancing are essential research topics for him.
