Reviews / Votes
"This classic collection will enrich every infant mental health professional's understanding of the legacy of T. Berry Brazelton and his influence on the infant and family field." (Perspectives, Spring 2013) "My concluding thoughts about this book are that Brazelton's genius has infiltrated so many areas influencing parenting, child rearing, neuroscience, etc. The authors of these chapters have honored Brazelton and shown how they and their research have benefitted from his life's work." (Education, Practice, and Research, 2011) "Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty/professionals; general readers." (Choice, 1 April 2011) "Although this book may be of more interest to those teaching at the university level, we thought we'd share it with everyone because of the varied nature of the content and the debt we owe to Dr. Brazelton for his pioneering work on behalf of children." (The Seca Reporter, summer 2010)More details
