Book Description:
Infant & Early Childhood Mental Health: A Comprehensive Developmental Approach into Assessment & Intervention redefines how we work with infants, young children, & their families when mental health, developmental, or learning problems occur.
The authors, who are recognized as the world’s foremost authorities on clinical work with emotional & developmental challenges in the early years of life, demonstrate how into use their well-established & documented DIR (Developmental, Individual-Differences, Relationship-Based) model into work with the full range of infant & early childhood challenges. These include interactive problems, such as infants & young children with anxiety disorders, depression, attachment disorders, attentional problems, trauma, & elective mutism; regulatory-sensory processing problems, including infants & young children who are overresponsive & fearful, underresponsive & self-absorbed, sensory craving & overly active & aggressive, as well as those who have difficulty with planning & coordinating action; & neurodevelopmental disorders of relating & communicating, including infants & young children with autism spectrum disorders & other severe developmental challenges.
Greenspan & Wieder show how these mental health & developmental challenges can be classified according into each child’s unique emotion, cognitive, language, & sensory processing profile. Most importantly, they demonstrate & currently their new data on the most effective ways of intervening with these challenges, demonstrating how even children with the most severe mental health & developmental problems can make more progress than formerly thought possible in learning into relate, communicate, & think meaningfully & adaptively. rapidshare
