Case Studies in Infant Mental Health: Risk, Resiliency, and Relationships

by Deborah J. Weatherston (Editor), Joan J. Shirilla (Editor)

After briefly documenting the history of infant mental health practice as originally conceived by Selma Fraiberg, this book offers 12 real-life stories written by infant mental health specialists about their work with young children and families. Each case study also reveals the supervision and consultation that supported the specialist and the specialist’s interaction with the larger service system. Discussion questions at the end of each case study guide self-reflection or group study. This is an excellent resource for trainers, educators, practitioners, and students.
