Grounded in a relational view of infancy, this volume offers a comprehensive analysis of developmental, clinical, and social aspects of mental health from birth to age 3. Essential topics addressed include models of development, neurobiology, the family and cultural contexts of infant mental health, and frequently encountered disorders of infancy. Assessment and intervention are discussed in depth, with coverage of practitioner-based models of psychotherapy as well as programmatic approaches to prevention and early intervention. Also covered are important issues related to family and social policy, such as the effects on infant development of early child care and parental divorce.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Infant mental health is a dynamic and expanding field that combines scientific knowledge on early development with wisdom from practitioners engaged in preventive interventions and treatment. This welcome second edition of the Handbook of Infant Mental Health contains entirely new contributions and well illustrates the progress and new thinking in both science and practice. Early interventions do make an important difference in the lives of infants and their families, and meaningful guidelines for such interventions are provided. Additionally, the reader glimpses a view of the future--the new research and clinical work that is on the horizon."--Robert N. Emde, MD, Professor of Psychiatry, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Denver, Colorado
"This classic handbook provides a wealth of current information on theory, research, and clinical practice. The chapters in the second edition are of consistently high quality and provide good coverage of a variety of relevant topics. Anyone working in the field of infant mental health will find much of value in this comprehensive, up-to-date text."--Byron Egeland, PhD, Irving B. Harris Professor of Child Development, University of Minnesota
"This is the best, most scholarly and comprehensive single-volume reference on infant mental health. All students and practitioners working in the field should have a copy, as should anyone concerned with the early roots of psychopathology. Each up-to-date chapter offers a concise account of the state of the art. Together they provide a wonderful testimony to the progress in the area since the first groundbreaking edition. Written by leaders in the field, this book is everything a handbook should be."--Peter Fonagy, PhD, Freud Memorial Professor of Psychoanalysis, University of London; Director, Child and Family and Clinical Protocols and Outcomes Centers, The Menninger Clinic, Topeka, Kansas
"This second edition of the Handbook of Infant Mental Health presents valuable information about infancy within the family ecology tradition. The volume is a 'must' for any professional in the human service delivery system dealing with young children. It serves as an outstanding summary of new information and clinical opinion. It is also the perfect textbook for courses on infancy. Each chapter contains a wealth of information and a comprehensive reference list. The inclusion of neurobiology, family systems, adult/parent mental health topics, and diagnostic issues within one volume is impressive."--Kathryn Barnard, PhD, CHDD, School of Nursing, University of Washington

Essential reading for graduate students and professionals,
This review is from: Handbook of Infant Mental Health, Second Edition (Paperback)
This book represents a comprehensive discussion of factors that influence the social and emotional health of very young children, when it goes well and when it goes awry. Many of the chapters deal with specific disorders of infancy and early childhood and with intervention techniques. It is essential reading for graduate students as well as professionals interested in infant/toddler mental health.

Infant Mental Health Resource,
By Holly4Tulo "HHW" (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Handbook of Infant Mental Health, Second Edition (Paperback)
This book was so thourough, covering everything from risk and protective factors, to intervention, assessment and psychopathology. I especially like the breakdown in the end of the cross-disciplinary training in infant mental health. Also the chapter on Early Chilhood Policy: Implications for mental health policy. We cannot look at children in isolated pockets of health. This book speaks to every step forward that we need to take to serve the social-emotional health of our children.
