Mental Health Consultation in Child Care: Transforming Relationships Among Directors, Staff, and Families
This text is intended for mental health professionals, consultants-in-training, and students of early childhood development and child-care. Johnston and Brinamen, affiliated with the Infant-Parent Program at the U. of California, San Francisco, have several decades combined experience providing mental health care consultation services in various child care settings. Here they describe theory and practical approaches to communicating with faculty, administrators, children, and parents, and dealing with such issues as internal struggles and bias, disagreements among faculty, and the mental health needs of individual children. Successful consulting in diverse circumstances is demonstrated throughout the book in two hypothetical case studies, imagined from the extensive experiences of the authors.
