And every educated person who wants to assess, treat, or love a difficult baby must own a copy of this book. If you can't find helpful information summarized here, relevant to any important or special problem pertinent to children ages 0–3, then the data do not yet exist." -American Journal of Psychiatry

"A comprehensive reference that is a valuable addition to a developmentally oriented clinician who interacts with young children and families." - Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics

"An extraordinary example of collaborative work among mental health professionals from a variety of fields." - Journal of Pediatric Psychology
