In this book, the authors seek to debunk the idea that all troubling behaviours arising in early childhood will simply pass with time, asserting instead that every effort should be made to attempt diagnosis and treatment of truly abnormal issues early in life, while the baby's brain is still flexible and malleable. Not a guide, nor an ordinary textbook, Does Time Heal All? weaves together complex case and treatment descriptions that focus specifically on the interplay between genetic, biological, psychological, and cultural variables present both in the child and his or her environment. The resulting insights will fascinate and enrich all who seek to trace the thin line between normative behaviour, even if extreme at times, and abnormal behaviour caused by a psychological disorder requiring therapeutic intervention.
