This completely revised and updated second edition of the Handbook of Infant Mental Health
reflects tremendous advances in theory, research, and practice that have taken place over
the past decade. Grounded in a relational view of infancy, the volume offers a broad
interdisciplinary analysis of the developmental, clinical, and social aspects of mental
health from birth to age three. A comprehensive array of topics is covered, including
development of the infant in context; developmental psychopathology; frequently
encountered disorders of infancy; approaches to clinical assessment and intervention; and
social policy applications. Chapters, most of which have new authorship, are written from
a variety of scholarly and clinical perspectives. Entirely new chapters address such
emerging areas of concern as the psychology and psychopathology of pregnancy, the
neurobiology of fetal and infant development, assessment of the infant caregiver
relationship, and a mental status exam for infants. Other new chapters examine gender
identity disorder, infant massage, and training in infant mental health.
