Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Big Moose Lake in the Adirondacks transports the reader back in
time to the days when steamboats, buckboards, and gas lighting were
common. Jane and Mark Barlow deliver tales of one-room schools, of
ice harvesting, of women who managed households accessible only by
boat, of families struck by deaths from tuberculosis or from
drowning, of uncontrollable fires and stories of exuberant
amusements such as primitive motorboat regattas. People arrived on
the first railroad to stretch through the uninhabited Adirondack
wilderness and helped establish a thriving community. Early
trappers and hunters of the Adirondacks became guides there,
eventually establishing permanent camps and hotels. Prosperous
businessmen brought their families and built private summer homes.
This is the story of Big Moose Lake brought to life by 259 antique
postcards and family photographs and previously unpublished
memoirs, oral histories, diary entries, and personal correspondence
of the men and women who settled the area.
Keeping the Baby in Mind builds on the expanding evidence
pointing to the crucial importance of parents in facilitating their
baby s development, and brings together expert contributors to
examine a range of innovative psychological and psychotherapeutic
interventions that are currently being used to support parents and
their infants. It not only provides an overview of the many
projects that are now available but also makes recommendations for
future practice and the way in which children s services are
organised.
The book brings together interventions and ways of working that
can be used both universally to support parents during the
transition to parenthood, and with high-risk groups of parents
where for example there may be child protection concerns or parents
experience severe mental health problems. Each chapter describes
the evidence supporting the need for such interventions and the
approach being developed, and concludes with a description of its
evaluation.
Keeping the Baby in Mind marks a new and exciting phase in the
development of interventions to support infant mental health and
will be of interest across a wide range of disciplines from primary
and community care to early years and Children s Centre
settings.

Groups for parents, babies and toddlers, spanning the 1001 critical
days from late pregnancy up to age two, are an effective way of
supporting expectant and new parents by helping them to become more
attuned, sensitive and empathic towards their child. Contributors
bring together a range of theoretical perspectives to show
different ways to facilitate groups that combine mindfulness and
psychological insight to promote bonding, attunement and
mind-mindedness, and to prevent abuse and neglect. Case examples
show a range of techniques that can be used, including baby
massage, movement therapy, Video Interaction Guidance, Watch Wait
Wonder and psychotherapeutic interventions. Examples include an
in-patient mother-baby unit, community and health centres in the
UK, to international examples in Greece, Kenya and New Zealand.
Chapters illustrate practical and clinical aspects of running
groups, the associated challenges, and highlights the importance of
professional collaboration in a benign environment. Weaving the
Cradle is full of ideas and insights for those already running
groups, as well as for those considering it, across health, social
care and education settings.
With contributions from internationally recognized experts, this
edited volume presents original thinking on the theory, research
and practice surrounding child neglect. Comprehensive and current,
the book takes an expansive look at how we can better address this
prevalent issue. It explores the effects of neglect on the
developing child and makes recommendations on how to identify
neglect at the earliest opportunity. It considers common causal and
contributing factors in neglect cases and the impact of these on
children. The book details effective intervention techniques
alongside case vignettes and shows how change can be achieved. It
highlights the importance of supporting parental care and
developing parental responsibility in families where children are
neglected. Chapters provide in-depth descriptive examples and
include a summary of learning points. Including practical
suggestions for combating child neglect, this is an essential guide
to best practice for students and practitioners working with
children and families. The book also contains useful insights
relevant to researchers and policy makers.
