It goes beyond a behavior-only focus to address key child development issues, including emotional life and lived experiences as well as family and sociocultural contexts.

In addition, it addresses neurophysiology and its relationship to several aspects of child development, including intersubjectivity, mirror neurons, emotional attunement, and intercorporeity. The book explores various systems of child and adolescent psychotherapy as well as the effects of emotional trauma, risk and protective factors, resilience, and the importance of early intervention and prevention on child development.
Key areas of coverage include
Parent-infant attachment and its implications.
