Biobehavioral Assessment of the Infant
Edited by Lynn Twarog Singer and Philip Sanford Zeskind
"This volume's contributors are a virtual 'who's who' in the field of infant assessment. These experts describe a range of measures, age-appropriate for the developing fetus through the one-year-old infant, chosen to reflect the concept of development as a dynamic interplay between the child and the caregiving environment, and reflecting various developmental domains, levels of analysis, and technological advancements.....Practitioners will benefit from this authoritative evaluation of the most commonly used clinical and research tools. Scientists will gain insight into the role of assessment in understanding the course of development and the relationship of early risk and protective factors in the determination of long-term outcome."
-Fonda Davis Eyler, PhD, Division of Neonatology, University of Florida Health Science Center
"This book marks the coming of age of infant biobehavioral assessment. Not only does the volume provide invaluable information that is unavailable in any other single source, it advances the field through its scientific rigor, clear organization, and unique sense of the relationship between assessment and overall infant behavior and development."
-Samuel J. Meisels, EdD, School of Education, University of Michigan
"How can we diagnose, evaluate, and predict the infant's developmental course from fetal through postnatal life? What technological advances are available to help appraise the biobehavioral integrity of the child newly arriving in the extrauterine world? This volume covers all the bases in normal and pre-term infants....From cortical electrophysiology to attachment assessment, a full range of contemporary assessment strategies is described in an accessible yet sophisticated and comprehensive manner."
-Marc H. Bornstein, PhD, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development
"The information in this book has direct relevance to continuing debates on public policies and programs that will support the growth and development of our youngest citizens. The volume will be valuable both as a general introduction to this rapidly growing area of inquiry, and as a reference and resource for developmental psychologists, pediatricians, and other professionals who care for infants. It is suitable for both college and graduate-level courses in developmental psychology."
