Treating Preschool Children (Jossey-Bass Library of Current Clinical Technique)

The Critical Years A Volume in the Jossey-Bass Library of Current Clinical Technique. This book focuses on the clinical treatment of children from birth through age five, when the most devastating psychiatric syndromes can make their first appearance. This hands-on resource provides the knowledge and tools necessary to assess and treat serious problems such as autism, mental retardation, abuse, and neglect. In addition, it provides a variety of specific interventions for common behavioral issues, including attachment disorders, sleep problems, toilet training, and gender issues. Written with the same sensitivity and insight as Treating School-Age Children and Treating Adolescents, this is an indispensable guide for meeting the challenges of treating children during these early, critical years.
