Assessment Tools for Parent-Infant Interaction and Their Contribution to Perinatal Clinical Care

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Early Interaction and Developmental Psychopathology

Abstract

In the present chapter, we propose an overview of the most widely used tools dedicated to the assessment of early parent-infant interactions during the first year of life. This review does not aim at being totally comprehensive. Its purpose is to offer a reflection on how observation and assessment of parent-infant interaction can both inform and be enriched within a clinical setting. Presentation of selected tools will thus be followed by proposals on how such assessments can be efficient as part of a specialized perinatal care.
