On the Emergence of Infant Mental Health for American Psychologists: Journal coverage

 
The current issue (February-March 2011) of the American Psychologist is devoted to Infant Mental Health. I will bring a copy of the journal, thanks to KMH co-worker Martha Crownover, to our consultation meeting on Friday.
 
 
All the themes that are part and parcel of our discussions are reflected in these pages. Another social space, in this case professional psychologists, -- the same emerging discourse.
 
 
Psychologists, master's level mental health counselors, social workers, early childhood home visitors -- we all come together for purposes of advocacy.
 
 
 
A relationship-based clinical model is emerging front and center across multiple disciplines..
 
 
What is infant mental health?
 
 
Improving access to infant mental health services means "building a qualified infant mental heath workforce, and addressing payment policies." Don't we know it! -gw
