Description
Ideal for both novices and advanced practitioners, the new
edition of Stanley Greenspan's classic guide outlines a practical process
for observing and interviewing children-and organizing and interpreting
their unfolding communications.
Highly acclaimed, The Clinical
Interview of the Child uses actual interviews with children to show
readers how to
* Apply a developmental, biopsychosocial framework for understanding
the inner lives of children at different ages and stages
* Observe and
assess human development, including emotional and cognitive patterns and
perceptual capacities
* Help infants and children to reveal their
feelings, thoughts, and behaviors during the clinical interview
*
Organize and interpret the interview data by constructing a developmental
profile and translating it into DSM-IV-TR diagnostic categories
The
third edition has been expanded and revised extensively, with updated
theoretical and conceptual foundations; information on higher levels of ego
development and reflective and thinking capacities of older children; and a
new section on a developmental biopsychosocial model-the developmental,
individual-difference, relationship-based (DIR) approach.
An
invaluable educational and practical resource, The Clinical Interview of
the Child, Third Edition, is an ideal tool for psychiatrists and
psychologists, pediatricians, educators, social workers, speech
pathologists, occupational therapists, and judges and attorneys dealing with
children and families.

Reviews / Votes
This book is an outstanding introduction to the theory ofmental development. It contributes greatly to the literature by providing a
model for assessment and treatment based upon a developmental
biopsychosocial framework. -- Elliott Pae, M.D., * Doody's Health Science Book Review * Throughout the text, there are many examples of how [Dr.
Greenspan] handles given situations, what words he speaks, and how he
specifically approaches a given situation. It is at those moments that one
best listens in on an expert at work. For the child and adolescent
psychiatrist just starting out, these vignettes are true pearls to
apply. -- Sonya Marie Vieira, M.D. and A. Reese Albright, M.D. * Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry *
