PUBLISHERS
 Working with babies and children is most successful when
therapists have a complete understanding and overview of all
appropriate treatment options, and the effects of early influences on
child health and development. This book shows therapists how to
consider these factors in order to work more effectively within their
individual areas of expertise.

Contributors from a wide range of disciplines, including Ann

Diamond Weinstein, Michael Shea, Carolyn Goh, Graham
Kennedy, Matthew Appleton, David Haas, Thomas Harms, Franz
Ruppert, Anita Hegerty and Kate Rosati, explore the influence of
pregnancy, birth and family dynamics on the physical and mental
health of babies and children. They show how these factors relate to
common complaints, such as excessive and different types of
crying, chronic illnesses and poor immune systems, and behavioural
and attachment issues, and how complementary approaches can be
best applied to treat these issues. This book also offers helpful
advice for working within multidisciplinary teams. Illustrated with
case studies and including examples from current research, this
book is a valuable resource for therapists from diverse disciplines.
