Infant & Early Childhood Mental Health: A Comprehensive Developmental Approach to Assessment and Intervention

Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health redefines how we work with infants young children and their families when mental health developmental or learning problems occur. Early childhood assessment and intervention experts, Stanley Greenspan and Serena Wieder, demonstrate how to use their well-established and documented DIR (Developmental Individual-Differences Relationship-Based) Floortime model to work with the full range of infant and early childhood challenges. These challenges include interactive problems anxiety disorders depression attachment disorders attentional problems trauma elective mutism, regulatory-sensory processing problems, and autism spectrum disorders. Greenspan and Wieder demonstrate and present their new data on the most effective ways of intervening with these challenges demonstrating how even children with the most severe mental health and developmental problems can make more progress than formerly thought possible in learning to relate communicate and think meaningfully and adaptively.

For clinicians researchers and educators alike, Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health is a definitive resource for working with infants young children and their families.
