The field commonly known as "infant mental health" integrates
current research from developmental psychology, genetics and
neuroscience to form a model of prevention, intervention and
treatment well beyond infancy. This book presents the core concepts
of this vibrant field and applies them to common childhood
problems, from attention deficits to anxiety and sleep disorders.
Readers will find a friendly guide that distills this developmental
science into key ideas and clinical scenarios that practitioners
can make sense of and use in their day-to-day work. Part I offers
an overview of the major areas of research and theory, providing a
pragmatic knowledge base to comfortably integrate the principles of
this expansive field in clinical practise. It reviews the newest
science, exploring the way relationships change the brain,
breakthrough attachment theory, epigenetics, the polyvagal theory
of emotional development, the role of stress response systems, and
many other illuminating concepts. Part II then guides the reader
through the remarkable applications of these concepts in clinical
work. Chapters address how to take a textured early developmental
history, navigate the complexity of postpartum depression, address
the impact of trauma and loss on children's emotional and
behavioural problems, treat sleep problems through an infant mental
health lens, and synthesise tools from the science of the
developing mind in the treatment of specific problems of regulation
of emotion, behaviour and attention. Fundamental knowledge of the
science of early brain development is deeply relevant to mental
health care throughout a client's lifespan. In an era when new
research is illuminating so much, mental health practitioners have
much to gain by learning this leading-edge discipline's essential
applications. This book makes those applications and their robust
benefits in work with clients, readily available to any
professional.
