Book excerpt: Within a developmental framework, this book presents a range of effective approaches to treating early relationship difficulties and promoting more sensitive and responsive parenting. Clinicians are guided to understand the different types of problems that parents have with infants and to determine how a given family might best be served--whether by addressing health concerns that are affecting infant behavior, modifying parental beliefs or expectations, or targeting key caregiving skills. Leading experts detail their respective therapeutic models in a practical, clinician-friendly format, including intervention guidelines and illustrative case material. Special topics covered include working with families of infants with special needs and with those at risk for child maltreatment.
