978-0-8261-9959-1 (ISBN)
The book builds on an individualized, integrated approach to present a variety of evidence-based strategies for working with children with multiple challenges. It considers children from preschool age to adolescence who present with a number of severe difficulties that may include extreme aggression, oppositional defiant behavior, significant anxiety and depression, cognitive and academic challenges, delays in speech and language, problems with attention and concentration, sensory integration problems, and symptoms of the effects of unresolved trauma. The treatment strategies that are developed can be used by various specialists who work within the intervention team as well as by parents in the home and teachers in day care facilities and schools. Canadian author Landy is recognized in the United States for her innovative parenting program, Pathways to Competence, that has been adopted by the American Academy of Pediatrics in parts of California and Florida.

She was formerly Head of the Division of Child Psychiatry, and Psychiatrist-in-Chief at the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto. Dr. Bradley was consultant psychiatrist to the Child and Adolescent Gender Identity Clinic at the new CAMH-Clarke Division (formerly the Clarke Institute), a clinic which Dr. Bradley founded in the late seventies. Other research interests include evaluation of parenting problems, especially as they relate to parents of young children. Theoretical interests include models that explain the development of psychopathology integrating findings from the developmental literature. Her book Affect Regulation and the Development of Psychopathology (2000) provides a model that integrates biological and psychosocial thinking in psychiatry. Her interest in prevention has led to the development of the Infant Mental Health Project, a community-based coalition aimed at facilitating the work of front-line care providers with parents of young children. Dr. Bradley has played a leadership role in the restructuring of services for children's mental health in Toronto and, as Early Years Champion, led the process of choosing 22 Early Years Centers in Toronto.
