Originally published in 1991, this volume contains critical
state-of-the-art essays on significant aspects of children's
development and developmental inquiry. Among the topics examined:
infant perception, action and social cognition; concept development
and language; children's play; parent education; children with
autism and Tourette’s Syndrome; pediatrics and child development;
and science, practice, and gender roles in early child psychology.
A distinctive unifying theme arises from the contributors’
discussions of substantive ideas in the context of their own
impressive intellectual biographies. While providing a collective
case-study in the recent history of ideas, the contributors honor
the intellectual and personal influence of William Kessen.

Within a developmental framework, this book guides the clinician to
understand the different types of problems that parents have with
infants and to determine how a given family might best be
served--whether by addressing health concerns that are affecting
infant behavior, modifying parental beliefs or expectations, or
improving key caregiving skills. Leading interdisciplinary experts
detail their respective therapeutic models in a practical,
clinician-friendly format, including intervention guidelines and
illustrative case material. Special topics covered include working
with families of infants with special needs and with those at risk
for child maltreatment.
In this volume leading behavioral scientists describe advances in
our understanding of the multiple biopsychosocial regulatory
processes underlying the development of children's behavior
disorders. A full spectrum of regulatory influences is addressed,
ranging from genes to cultural factors. Individual chapters
highlight the importance of developing research paradigms that
synthesize biological, behavioral, and social-ecological
influences, and of viewing self-regulation as a complex system that
reorganizes across development. The regulatory foundations of a
diverse range of childhood behavior problems are examined,
including anxiety, social withdrawal, depression, conduct problems,
inattention and impulsivity, and sleep problems.

When a mother or other caregiver is concerned about a problem with
an infant, what can the clinician do? Crying, sleep, or feeding
difficulties are par for the course with many babies, but some
infants are harder to take care of than others. Some parents,
moreover, are less able than others to cope with and respond to a
very young child's needs. This book presents a range of therapies
that address the connections between infant/n-/caregiver
relationships and infant mental health. Within a cutting-edge
conceptual framework, leading experts describe ways to intervene in
early interactional difficulties, promote more sensitive and
responsive parenting, and support the healthy development of
children and families. The volume first establishes an overarching
model for understanding and dealing with different types of
problems in infant mental health. Clinicians are guided to choose
the therapeutic target and "port of entry" most effective for a
given family, whether this entails addressing health concerns that
are affecting infant behavior, modifying parental beliefs or
expectations, or building key parenting skills.; Specific
therapeutic models are presented that reflect the diverse res
