Notes:	Discusses the impact of domestic violence on the early stages of life. The case of an eleven-month-old infant and the literature significant to the particular circumstances are presented. Young and older infants utilise defences and responses to anxiety and traumatic events that affect their processes of attachment, separation and socialisation. Violence during breast-feeding and a threatening and impinging environment resulted in feeding difficulties and failure to gain weight. In order to achieve recovery from the trauma, a ward programme was implemented to enhance the development of the baby.
