Across all cultures parenting is the foundation of family life. It
is the domain where adult mental health meets infant development.
Beginning in pregnancy, parenting involves many conscious and
unconscious processes which have recently been shown to affect a
child's development significantly. This book focuses on pregnancy
and the first year of life, providing a thorough account of the
points of encounter between adult and infant psychiatry. In a fresh
and comprehensive way, it summarises knowledge about early
parenting, including a critical analysis of parenting, what it
means to be a "good enough parent," and its relationship to infant,
parent and family outcomes. In addition to the psychiatric
dimension, the book emphasises the biological aspects of parenting,
parental psychopathology and normal and abnormal infant
development.
Praise for "Parenting and Mental Health"
"""Tyano, Keren, Herrman and Cox have edited a thoughtfully
prepared guide on normal and abnormal parenting. They have, with
enormous skill and wisdom, helped to unite the important aspects of
pregnancy, infant and childhood development and parenting for adult
and child and adolescent psychiatrists. World-class internationally
recognized clinicians and researchers help make this book useful
throughout the world. This is a masterful, culturally sensitive and
important book which provides a long overdue and much needed guide
on relationships among children, parents and families."

Integrated Medical and Psychiatric Services, Department of
Psychiatry, University of Michigan, USA
"During recent decades, progress in the field of infant mental
health has been revolutionary; at the same time, there has been
rapid development in women's mental health. By bringing these two
together, this pioneering book leads its readers to the vital new
focal point around perinatal mental health. The book integrates the
origins of developmental psychiatry in attachment and systemic
contexts and shows concretely how relationship experiences and
biology interact when new life begins.
After describing the fascinating world of early parenting, the
book focuses on problems, difficulties and disorders during this
phase of life and above all on how to support, intervene and treat
disorders in parenting. When infants, mothers and fathers are
understood in a holistic way, professionals in many fields will be
able to promote the transmission of meaningful life through
parenthood and parenting."

Tampere, Finland; Past-President of World Association for Infant
Mental Health, President of European Society for Child and
Adolescent Psychiatry
