Foundations of Social-Emotional Research: A Set featuring Ed Tronick

This multimedia set (one book, two DVDs) puts a wealth of research on the social-emotional development of infants and young children at your fingertips. 

Life's First Feelings examines research techniques that open a window on infant emotions and allow scientists to explore the inner workings of a child'd world. The work of the following researchers is presented: René Spitz, Ed Tronick, Camille Izard, Jerome Kagan, Joseph Campos, Robert Emde, Mary Klinnert, Michael Lewis, Marian Radke-Yarrow, and Stanley Greenspan.  

The program provides evidence that emotions serve important biological and social functions in the development of a child's personality. It seeks to show that infants begin life with a set of survival-oriented emotions and acquire social emotions as they pass through childhood.

In addition, The Neurobehavioral and Social-Emotional Development of Infants and Children gathers together Ed Tronick's most influential writings on infant-adult interactions, developmental processes and mutual regulation into a single, essential volume.

The book carefully addresses such questions as:

• What is a state of consciousness?
• What are the developing infant's capacities for neurobehavioral self-organization?
• How are early infant-adult interactions organized?
• How can we understand the nature of normal versus abnormal development?

The book contains a companion DVD-ROM with clinical footage of Neonatal Assessment of the Substance Exposed Infant (32 minutes) and several examples of the Still-Face Paradigm (6 minutes) with infants and toddlers.
