Infos

The book presents a comprehensive and well-organized overview of the family-centered care approaches for child disability, and provides multi-professional contributions from the fields of psychiatry, psychology, and rehabilitation science. The volume is divided into three main sections, that highlights the theoretical basis, research evidence, and clinical implications of the family-centered approach to child care. Active engagement of parents in the therapeutic and rehabilitative journey of their children with disability is key to the success of early interventions and their long-term benefits. Research and clinical experiences in healthcare services around the world suggest that early supportive programs may promote children's development at its best, with both clinical benefits and economic advantages for the healthcare system. This volume will appeal to a wide readership, from clinicians and researchers in child disability and rehabilitation, to students and professionals in the fields of  psychiatry, psychology, and rehabilitation science.
