This magnificent third edition brings together all relevant advances in a well-referenced but remarkably accessible volume. It is a true gem for all clinicians and students whose work touches on early childhood and who want their practices to be guided by best evidence. - Peter Fonagy, Freud Memorial Professor of Psychoanalysis and Chair, Department of Clinical, Educational and Health Psychology, University College London, UK The definitive Handbook on infant mental health. This work has become indispensable worldwide for practitioners and trainees in child psychiatry, psychology, pediatrics, and social work. The Handbook presents the best available knowledge and works toward consensus on key issues related to theory, research, assessment, psychopathology, and intervention. - Antoine Guedeney, Head, Department of Child Psychiatry, Bichat Claude-Bernard Hospital, Paris, France; President, World Association for Infant Mental Health Once again, Zeanah has produced a first-rate Handbook. Although the six distinct sections of the book will be familiar, the third edition has new authors, new topics, and the latest updates on research advances and clinical techniques.
