*Victor Bernstein, Ph.D., is a retired lecturer at The University of Chicago School of Social Service Administration. In addition, he is a consultant, trainer and was co-founder of The Ounce of Prevention Fund (Illinois) Developmental Training and Support Program. His interest in strengthening the parent-child relationship dates from 1969 when he began working with children with autism. In 1979 he received a post-doctoral fellowship in infant social development in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Chicago.  Victor has  conducted research on parent-child interaction -- in families with children from birth through adolescence living in troubled communities. His principal interest is in using observation and inquiry to strengthen relationships in parallel: the trainer-trainee, supervisor-staff, and parent-child relationships in order to improve the developmental outcomes in children born at risk. He continues to train staff from a variety of primary prevention, Early Head Start, early intervention birth-to-three, child welfare, and drug treatment programs in these techniques.  He is married and the parent of two children, Nicholas who passed away in 2007 at age 33 due to complications of epilepsy, and Alex who is a high school ESL teacher and the parent of 9 year-old Samuel.
