Ethical Dilemmas in Infant Mental Health

Charles H. Zeanah, Alison Steier, Paula D. Zeanah
Several features of infant and early childhood mental health, in particular, the relationship focus, the urgency of action when early support and intervention is needed, the breadth of this multidisciplinary field, and the influence of social and cultural contexts of infant and early childhood caregiving and development, present unique ethical challenges. Current efforts to address the clinical complexities of IECMH provide important resources to inform ethical decision-making but stop short of the detail of formal ethical codes which not only provide guideposts for clinicians but also communicate expectations about the field the public can appreciate. Our goal is for this webinar to stimulate a robust dialogue about the types of ethical issues unique to infant and early childhood mental health, including the challenges and best practices in recognizing and addressing ethical issues.
