Infant and Toddler Mental Health by J Maldonadodurn

Infant and Toddler Mental Health by J Maldonadodurn

Written by clinicians who work with infants and children and their families every day, this reality-based approach addresses the most common and important problems in infant psychopathology, covering models of intervention from pregnancy through infancy, attachment issues, and transgenerational themes.

It is a very welcomed addition, and it stands alone as a unique contribution in many respectsFirst, the authors offer clinical perspectives based on their own experiences, and there is richness evident throughout the volume because of the case material presented. The volume truly is a 'reality-based' approach to this field. Secondly, the first section of the volume has theoretical perspectives provided from several experts who offer clear models by which to consider the clinical data presented in the second section. .

Taken as a whole, this excellent book should encourage both those already doing this work to continue and those who are thinking of it to start.

-- Robin Balbernie * Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry *

This book convinced me, a skeptic, of the need to consider that the infant-caregiver relationship, not as a secondary contextual information, but as central to successful therapeutic intervention. The clarity of the presentation and the thoughtful selection of case material does much to convince the reader.

-- Ingram Wright, Lecturer in Clinical Psychology, Sheffield University, UK * Journal of Clinical Child Psychology and Psychiatry *

This book significantly furthers the literature of early development by bringing together theoretical, experimental, and clinical material in a reality-based approach. The therapeutic approaches are detailed and sensitive accounts of a diversity of clinical interventions and treatments.
