Alicia F. Lieberman

Although a number of books discuss the physical and cognitive abilities of the toddler, Lieberman’s is the first to examine the varied and intense emotional life of children from ages one to three. Drawing on her decades of research and clinical practice, the author addresses a multitude of commonly asked questions, including “Why is ‘no’ so often a toddler’s favorite response?”

Emotional Life of the Toddler

Patricia Van Horn

This eloquent book presents an empirically supported treatment that engages parents as the most powerful agents of their young children's healthy development. Child–parent psychotherapy promotes the child's emotional health and builds the parent's capacity to nurture and protect, particularly when stress and trauma have disrupted the quality of the parent–child relationship. The book provides a comprehensive theoretical framework together with practical strategies for combining play, developmental guidance, trauma-focused interventions, and concrete assistance with problems of living. Filled with evocative, "how-to-do-it" examples, it is grounded in extensive clinical experience and important research on early development, attachment, neurobiology, and trauma.

Now updated with new material throughout, Alicia F. Lieberman’s The Emotional Life of the Toddler is the seminal, detailed look into the varied and intense emotional life of children aged one to three. Hailed as “groundbreaking” by The Boston Globe after its initial publication, the new edition includes the latest research on this crucial stage of development. Anyone who has followed an active toddler around for a day knows that a child of this age is a whirlwind of explosive, contradictory, and ever-changing emotions. Alicia F. Lieberman offers an in-depth examination of toddlers’ emotional development, and illuminates how to optimize this crucial stage so that toddlers can develop into emotionally healthy children and adults. Drawing on her lifelong research, Dr. Lieberman addresses commonly asked questions and issues. Why, for example, is “no” often the favorite response of the toddler? How should parents deal with the anger they might feel when their toddler is being aggressively stubborn? Why does a crying toddler run to his mother for a hug only to push himself vigorously away as soon as she begins to embrace him? This updated edition also addresses twenty-first century concerns such as how to handle screen time on devices and parenting in a post-internet world. With the help of numerous examples and vivid cases, Lieberman answers these and other questions, providing, in the process, a rich, insightful profile of the roller coaster emotional world of the toddler.

The Emotional Life of the Toddler

Chandra Ghosh Ippen

Dit boek is een handleiding voor ouder-kindpsychotherapie (CPP, child-parent psychotherapy). Het richt zich op therapeuten die jonge tot zeer jonge kinderen (0 tot 5 jaar) behandelen die geweld of een andere traumatische gebeurtenis hebben meegemaakt. Het boek geeft theoretische achtergronden vanuit de psychoanalyse, de hechtingstheorie en de ontwikkelingspathologie. Ook geeft het voorbeelden van toe te passen interventies. Blijf van mijn mama af! laat zien dat ouder-kindpsychotherapie een waardevolle behandelvorm is voor jonge kinderen die getuige of slachtoffer zijn (geweest) van huiselijk geweld. De therapie kan ook worden toegepast bij andere vormen van trauma zoals emotionele, lichamelijke en seksuele mishandeling, blootstelling aan geweld, ernstige verwondingen, pijnlijke ziektes en medische behandelingen. De beschreven therapie is evidencebased en nadrukkelijk gericht op de relatie met de ouders of verzorgers van het kind. Hierbij is veel aandacht voor veiligheid en vertrouwen tegenover gevaar en angst. Van alle interventies worden voorbeelden gegeven aan de hand van vijf uitgebreide casussen en in de vorm van vele kortere vignetten. Deze, uit het Engels vertaalde, uitgave is een tweede, herziene druk van Don’t hit my mommy!, oorspronkelijk uitgegeven door ZERO TO THREE: National Center for Infants, Toddlers and Families in 2015. ‘Dit klassieke werk is gebaseerd op tientallen jaren ervaring van de auteurs als therapeut en opleider. De toepassing van ouder-kindpsychotherapie (CPP) is sinds verschijning van het oorspronkelijke boek aanzienlijk uitgebreid, met name voor gezinnen die te maken hebben met geweld, op basis van een indrukwekkende hoeveelheid wetenschappelijk bewijs en steeds meer trainers. Naast een rijke hoeveelheid andere hulpmiddelen biedt het boek vele gedetailleerde, fijngevoelige en helder geschreven voorbeeldcasussen die laten zien hoe je ouders en jonge kinderen kunt bijstaan bij het genezen van trauma’s. Ik raad u aan het te lezen, en te herlezen.’ – Charles H. Zeanah jr., MD, Institute of Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health, Tulane University
