VALE, Karina Cyrineu. Shantala and winnicott: the touch from the bond. Est. Inter. Psicol. [online]. 2014, vol.5, n.1, pp. 119-125. ISSN 2236-6407.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5433/2236-6407.2014v5n1p119.

This article is to identify and establish associations between the Indian infant massage technique known in the West as Shantala to the theory of child development Donald Winnicott, based on personal and professional experience of the author. She relates the offer massage as a potentially therapeutic space for the stimulation of healthy development of the unborn in a broad sense - physical and emotional aspects, from the establishment of a healthy bond with their caregiver. Care for the caregiver environment-where the recognition of the baby as a developing human being "there" and expresses, are valued in the prevention and treatment of developmental disorders neuro-psycho-motor.

Keywords : infant massage; bonding; child development.
