Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health: Core Concepts and
Clinical Practice is a groundbreaking book that provides an
overview of the field from both theoretical and clinical
viewpoints. The editors and chapter authors -- some of the field's
foremost researchers and teachers -- describe from their diverse
perspectives key concepts fundamental to infant-parent and early
childhood mental health work. The complexity of this emerging field
demands an interdisciplinary approach, and the book provides a
clear, comprehensive, and coherent text with an abundance of
clinical applications to increase understanding and help the reader
to integrate the concepts into clinical practice.
Offering both cutting-edge coverage and a format that
facilitates learning, the book boasts the following features and
content:
- A focus on helping working professionals expand their
specialization skills and knowledge and on offering core competency
training for those entering the field, which reflects the
Infant-Parent Mental Health Postgraduate Certificate Program
(IPMHPCP) and Fellowship in Napa, CA that was the genesis of the
book.- Chapters written by a diverse group of authors with vastly
different training, expertise, and clinical experience,
underscoring the book's interdisciplinary approach. In addition,
terms such as clinician, therapist, provider, professional, and
teacher are intentionally used interchangeably to describe and
unify the field. - Explication and analysis of a variety of
therapeutic models, including Perry's Neurosequential Model of
Therapeutics; Brazelton's neurodevelopmental and relational
Touchpoints; attachment theory; the Neurorelational Framework;
Mindsight; and Downing's Video Intervention Therapy.- An entire
chapter devoted to diagnostic schemas for children ages 0--5, which
highlights the Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health Disorders
of Infancy and Early Childhood: Revised (DC:0-3R). With the release
of DSM-5, this chapter provides a prototypical crosswalk between
DC:0-3R and ICD codes.- A discussion of the difference between
evidence-based treatments and evidence-based practices in the
field, along with valuable information on randomized controlled
trials, a research standard that, while often not feasible or
ethically permissible in infant mental health work, remains a
standard applied to the field.- Key points and references at the
end of each chapter, and generous use of figures, tables, and other
resources to enhance learning.
The volume editors and authors are passionate about the pressing
need for further research and the acquisition and application of
new knowledge to support the health and well-being of individuals,
families, and communities. Infant and Early Childhood Mental
Health: Core Concepts and Clinical Practice should find a receptive
audience for this critically important message.
