This practical handbook offers treatment guidelines for the behavioural and mental health problems of young children whose most intimate relationships are disrupted by the experience of violence.Practitioners from a variety of disciplines gain an understanding of the impact of violence and discover concrete intervention strategies to address the consequences of this experience for young children.

This book offers clinicians, counselors, educators, child-care professionals, and others a compassionate yet practical guide to the assessment and treatment of young children who have experienced the death of a parent or primary caregiver.The authors describe how babies, toddlers, and preschool-age children typically respond to overwhelming loss, explain complications in the grieving process that are associated with the sudden or violent death of a parent, and offer vignettes that illustrate therapeutic interventions with traumatically bereaved young children and their families.

DC:0-5 Version 2.0 includes numerical codes to make the inclusion of DC:0-5 disorders in health care delivery and electronic medical records easier. Originally published in 1994, ZERO TO THREE's Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood (DC:0-3) was the first developmentally based system for diagnosing mental health and developmental disorders of infants and toddlers (i.e., 0 to 3 years). The revised DC:0-3, published in 2005 (DC:0-3R) drew on empirical research and clinical practice that had occurred worldwide since the 1994 publication and extended the depth and criteria of the original DC:0-3.DC:0-5 captures new findings relevant to diagnosis in young children and addresses unresolved issues in the field since DC:0-3R was published in 2005.DC:0-5 is designed to help mental health and other professionals:Recognise mental health and developmental challenges in infants and young children, through to 5 years oldUnderstand that relationships and psychosocial stressors contribute to mental health and developmental disorders and incorporate contextual factors into the diagnostic processUse diagnostic criteria effectively for classification, case formulation, and interventionFacilitate research on mental health disorders in infants and young children.DC:0-5 enhances the professional's ability to prevent, diagnose, and treat mental health problems in the earliest years by identifying and describing disorders not addressed in other classification systems and by pointing the way to effective intervention approaches. Individuals across disciplines - mental health clinicians, counsellors, physicians, nurses, early interventionists, social workers, and researchers will find DC:0-5 to be an essential guide to evaluation and treatment planning with infants, young children, and their families in a wide range of settings.What's New in DC:0-5?DC:0-5 includes disorders occurring in children through 5 years oldDC:0-5 extends criteria to younger ages when appropriate, including in some cases the first year of lifeDC:0-5 introduces several new disorders including: Relationship Specific Disorder of Infancy/Early Childhood, Disorder of Dysregulated Anger and Aggression of Early Childhood, and Early Atypical Autism Spectrum Disorder.DC:0-5 retains the multi-axial system allowing optimal consideration of context in assessment and diagnosis; most of the axes have been revised substantially.

The Casebook is a compilation of case studies as a companion volume to DC:0-5TM: Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood (DC:0-5; ZERO TO THREE, 2016, 2021). The casebook is designed to strengthen understanding of clinical disorders in infancy and early childhood, and to help clinicians better understand the application of the multiaxial framework and culturally sensitive/relational approach to diagnosis that is fundamental to DC:0-5.

This widely used work shows how mentoring and supervision can provide regular opportunities for joint reflection of relationships. The book identifies three elements central to successful supervision in infant-family programs: reflection, collaboration, and regularity, in a clear and comprehensive way.

In this book, the authors seek to debunk the idea that all troubling behaviours arising in early childhood will simply pass with time, asserting instead that every effort should be made to attempt diagnosis and treatment of truly abnormal issues early in life, while the baby's brain is still flexible and malleable.Not a guide, nor an ordinary textbook, Does Time Heal All? weaves together complex case and treatment descriptions that focus specifically on the interplay between genetic, biological, psychological, and cultural variables present both in the child and his or her environment.The resulting insights will fascinate and enrich all who seek to trace the thin line between normative behaviour, even if extreme at times, and abnormal behaviour caused by a psychological disorder requiring therapeutic intervention.

The field of infant and early childhood mental health is in a quandary. Best practice demands that infants and young children be treated in the context of their relationships with caregivers. But health insurance systems, including Medicaid, require that an individual, not a relationship, be identified as a subscriber and that treatment be documented and billed accordingly. This discrepancy produces conceptual and ethical dilemmas for clinicians. How do they document relationship-based intervention? How do they bring billing procedures into alignment with best practice? How do they get paid for the work they do?This book offers a solution: The Parent-Child Relationship Competencies (PCRCs) are a set of capacities that emerge spontaneously under ordinary circumstances, but which may be strained, impaired, or absent when something is wrong. PCRC-focused clinical assessment offers a clear path to relationship-based case formulation, treatment planning, documentation, and billing that readily conforms with the requirements of standard systems of care.With a foreword by former Director of the Infant-Parent Program, Jeree H. Pawl, this book will be an indispensable tool for all mental health professionals who work with infants and toddlers and their families.

Because so many people have vital roles to play in helping infants and young children with sensory processing difficulties interact with their environments and the significant people and relationships in them, authors, Susan A. Stallings-Sahler and Gilbert M. Foley, have written this book for a broad multidisciplinary audience of service providers, researchers, and policymakers serving infants, young children, and their families.Highlighting the intersection of sensory processing, sensory processing disorders, and infant and early childhood mental health (IECMH), the book is targeted to a wide array of disciplines from the therapeutic, educational, medical, and psychosocial fields. Practitioners who work in a variety of settings will find it meaningful – neonatal intensive care follow-up programs, early intervention programs, preschools, developmental and mental health clinics, IECMH programs, child life programs, social service agencies, and child care centres.Parents and family members may also find the contents helpful in understanding and caring for their child with sensory, self-regulatory, and social–emotional challenges in ways that will also enhance their relationships and family life.This book is designed to help readers achieve the following goals:Understand the sensory development of infants and young children as well as how the tapestry of sensory processing, self-regulation, and social–emotional capacities become interwoven as development and the child's personality emerge.Understand and appreciate how sensory processing and self-regulation are intimately linked and contribute to social–emotional development and the broader construct of IECMH and psychopathology.Explore the fundamental neurodevelopmental and neurophysiological underpinnings of sensory processing and its influence on attention, movement, self-regulation, attachment, and IECMH as well as areas where dysfunction may occur.Learn about assessment and intervention approaches designed to promote young children's self-regulation, adaptive behaviour, social–emotional development, and mental health through enriching interactions and goodness-of-fit with the physical, relational, and social world.Become aware of new scientific evidence, directions, and outstanding questions in both basic and applied research relevant to this aspect of practice with this unique population.

This guide to the Reflective Interaction Observation Scale (RIOS) is a valuable resource for the practice of reflective supervision/consultation (RS/C) in infant and early childhood settings across disciplines. The RIOS is an accessible, research-based, and evidence-informed framework for anyone wanting to deeply understand the reflective content and processes in a reflective session. The RIOS framework is based on the RIOS research tool, which was created to better understand and empirically measure the active ingredients at play in reflective sessions. The easy-to-use RIOS framework identifies areas to explore, as well as ways in which they are considered. In the process, it provides new learning and perspectives about our work, ourselves, and others. The included RIOS Reflection Self-Check tool offers a way to track the development of the reflective work between supervisor and supervisee over time.
