Enhancing coparenting using video feedback
Sharing the secret
A diagnosis of breast cancer implies an emotional burden on the patient’s personal and family functioning, especially in traditional societies. Along with the physical and emotional difficulties that are inherent to cancer, there is also a tendency in Arab society to keep the disease a secret. The present study examined the impact of sharing information about the mother’s illness on the emotional and educational scholastic functioning of children…
Framing the work
When working with families of infants and toddlers, intentionally looking beyond dyadic child‐parent relationship functioning to conceptualize the child's socioemotional adaptation within their broader family collective can enhance the likelihood that clinical gains will be supported and sustained. However, there has been little expert guidance regarding how best to frame infant‐family mental health therapeutic encounters for the adults responsib…
Dance/Movement Therapy for Infants and Young Children with Medical Illness
Waimh position paper
The World Association for Infant Mental Health (WAIMH) decided to compose a position paper on infants’ rights in wartime, as there is still a general lack of attention paid to the impact of war‐related traumas on infants’ development and psychological health. Though there are numerous areas of violent conflicts around the globe, there have been few published studies that relate specifically to infants. Consequently, humanitarian aid programs tend…
The Worldwide Burden of Infant Mental and Emotional Disorder
Children worldwide experience mental and emotional disorders. Mental disorders occurring among young children, especially infants (birth –3 years), often go unrecognized. Prevalence rates are difficult to determine because of lack of awareness and difficulty assessing and diagnosing young children. Existing data, however, suggest that rates of disorders in young children are comparable to those of older children and adolescents (von Klitzing, Doh…
Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood Dc
The Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood: Revised Edition (DC:0-5; ZERO TO THREE) is scheduled to be published in 2016. The articles in this section are selective reviews that have been undertaken as part of the process of refining and updating the nosology. They provide the rationales for new disorders, for disorders that had not been included previously in the Diagnostic Classific…
Eating and Feeding Disorders in the First Five Years of Life
Problems of eating and feeding are one of the most common reasons of referral to pediatric and infant mental health clinics. This article is drawn from work done by the ZERO TO THREE Task Force developing the DC:0–5 Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood, specifically dealing with eating disorders in the first 5 years of life. The proposed changes come from both reviewing major studie…
Correlates of Change in Postinstitutionalized Infants’ Sustained Social Withdrawal Behavior Following Adoption
Infants adopted from institutions experience inadequate care prior to adoption and are therefore expected to show elevated sustained social withdrawal behavior shortly after being adopted. Social withdrawal is expected to decrease as they adapt to their new families. Sustained social withdrawal was assessed 1 month’ postadoption (Time 1) and again 6 months later (Time 2) via the Baby Alarm Distress procedure (A. Guedeney & J. Fermanian, ). At Tim…
An infant who was born with a life‐threatening skin disease
A longitudinal case study of a 3‐year‐old toddler, born with a congenital, severe, life‐threatening skin disease, with comorbid diagnoses of failure to thrive and feeding disorder, is described and discussed. The referral, diagnostic, and therapeutic processes are described, and the main themes of the treatment sessions are presented in the associative order that they occurred. The understanding of the case is very much based on the “me‐skin'' co…
Clinical challenges of adoption
Adoption is accompanied by well‐known risk factors that contribute to unique clinical challenges for children, parents, and clinicians. Adoption also serves to illustrate issues that remain relatively “silent” in the typical transition to parenthood. In this article, the authors review the normal developmental challenges that parents face during adoption, the adoption‐related risk factors that may impinge on the child's development and attachment…
Parenthood and Mental Health
Phenomenology, psychopathology, and short‐term therapeutic outcome of 102 infants aged 0 to 12 months consecutively referred to a community‐based 0 to 3 mental health clinic
Infants ages 0 to 1 year consecutively referred for psychiatric treatment during the year 2005 were followed, and variables associated with diagnosis and short‐term outcome were assessed. Infants were evaluated using the Psychiatric Infant Navigator Chart and Evaluation that includes nosological diagnoses [ Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood, (DC 0–3), Zero to Three, 1994] as well…
Does the portal of entry determine our view? Interfaces between dyadic and three‐way assessment of a clinical family transitioning to parenthood
The purpose of this interface was to explore the influences of dyadic and three‐way observation on clinical assessment of young families. Three independent clinicians observed a clinically referred family using semistructured play paradigms, each with only a limited view of the family. One had only the data on dyadic interactions, the second only had data on the family triad, and the third observed both the dyads and the triad. Interactions were …
Sustained withdrawal behavior in clinic-referred and nonreferred infants
To examine the relations between infants' sustained withdrawal behavior and children's mental health status and maternal and child relational behavior, 36 clinic-referred and 43 control infants were evaluated. Families were visited at home, mother-child free play and feeding interactions were videotaped, and mothers completed self-report measures. Interactions were coded for sustained withdrawal using the Alarm Distress Baby Scale (ADBB; Guedeney…
Clinical Interview for high‐risk Parents of premature infants (CLIP) as a predictor of early disruptions in the mother–infant relationship at the nursery
The relations between mothers' narrative regarding the infant and the premature birth and the quality of mother–infant interaction were examined in mothers of 47 very low birth weight (
A five‐year Israeli experience with the DC
Clinical and research experience with the DC: 0–3 classification in an Israeli infant mental health unit is presented in this article. The clinical use of the DC: 0–3 diagnoses is described in the context of our routine assessment process and basic theoretical approach. Reasons for referral and distribution of DC: 0–3 diagnoses of 414 infants and parents, assessed at the unit between the years 1996 and 2000, are shown. Twenty‐five percent had no …
