Recenzje

A masterful revision of the first comprehensive approach to mental health assessments issues in infants and young children. The first edition was a classic and this 2nd edition continues this tradition. This will be a critically important book for research and clinicians alike. It remains the definitive guide to the topic of infant mental health assessment.
