“Home-Based Services in Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health is encyclopedic in nature with attention to every aspect of the work. This book will take the place of multiple texts covering the critical components involved in the practice of infant and early childhood mental health. Cornett provides a thorough overview of the history of the field, detailed examination of developmental concepts, comprehensive examination of treatment selection and critical treatment issues, and thorough exploration of parenting tasks at each phase of a child’s development. The careful use of case examples to illustrate critical issues such as disturbances in child and family function adds significantly to a reader’s understanding. Specific and detailed information on strategies for engaging and aligning with families throughout treatment will be of great use to beginning clinicians and those new to infant and early childhood mental health.” “Home-based Services in Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health is a comprehensive text and reference that both new and experienced clinicians will find helpful in their everyday practice. It reflects both the author’s compassion and drive to support infants and young children as well as her 25-plus years of experience as a clinician, supervisor and administrator. As a result, Home-based Services in Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health covers important information about all aspects of infant and early childhood mental health work, including history and theory along with carefully considered practice recommendations. Filled with vignettes and examples, the text provides detailed information and guidelines needed to provide a range of mental health assessment and services to very young children and their families in many settings, as well and material that will be useful in systems-building and care coordination approaches.” “This thoughtful book provides an overview of the knowledge base and practice concepts central to infant and early childhood mental health intervention. Particular strengths include its comprehensiveness and its consistent focus on the relationship between young child and caregiver as the cornerstone of practice. Cornett’s book will benefit new practitioners seeking an orientation to the field, and will find its way to the desks of experienced practitioners and supervisors needing a valuable reference and handbook.” “Where else in the infant mental health literature can one find, in a single text, presentation of basic theory in assessment and intervention, alongside discussion of the nuances we have come to understand as key to effective program and practice: issues in engagement; how trauma changes everything; cultural sensitivity; and even the importance of reflective supervision?
