Featuring over 15 infant mental health case studies jam-packed with practical tips to support your work with young children and their families.
We recognize that even young children can, and do, struggle with mental health and developmental problems. The DC:0—5™ Casebook uses infant mental health case studies to give mental health clinicians, educators, trainers and interventionists a detailed look at how their colleagues are using the only mental health diagnostic classification system specifically for young children to support healthy, emotional development from the start.
The casebook is a compilation of infant mental health case studies as a companion volume to DC:0–5™: 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™.
Each infant mental health case study provides case conceptualization, diagnostic summary, discussion, and some questions for the reader to reflect on related to the case and clinical issues raised.
Featuring over 15 clinical IECMH cases, the casebook puts you in the shoes of leading IECMH professionals from across the globe, bringing the “story” of a child’s and family’s experience to life through:
