Abstract

The present paper discusses the concept of infant psychiatry and assesses a variety of treatment approaches that have been used with psychologically disturbed infants. Despite these advances we have only made a beginning in communicating these principles to the families of infants in need. Whereas we may know how to assist children with disturbances in feeding, sleeping, or toilet training, we know little about breaking the vicious cycle of deprivation and the ensuing hopelessness and anger in disadvantaged families and those with physically atypical children.
