The Neurobehavioral and Social-Emotional Development of Infants and Children (Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology) Hardcover – July 31, 2007
Purchase options and add-ons
Internationally recognized as one of the premier researchers on child development, Ed Tronick has held notable teaching positions and conducted vital research for nearly 30 years.
Over the course of his esteemed career, he has received funding for hundreds of key studies in the US and abroad on normal and abnormal infant and child development―including his Mutual Regulation Model and Still-Face Paradigm, which revolutionized our understanding of infants’ emotional capacities and coping―all of which led to critical contributions in the field. Much of his work serves as the benchmark for how mental health clinicians think about biopsychosocial states of consciousness, the process of meaning making, and how and why we engage with others in the world.Now, for the first time, Tronick has gathered together his most influential writings in a single, essential volume. Organized into five parts―(I) Neurobehavior, (II) Culture, (III) Infant Social-Emotional Interaction, (IV) Perturbations: Natural and Experimental, and (V) Dyadic Expansion of Consciousness and Meaning Making―this book represents his major ideas and studies regarding infant-adult interactions, developmental processes, and mutual regulation, carefully addressing such questions as:
- What is a state of consciousness?
- What are the developing infant’s capacities for neurobehavioral self-organization?
- How are early infant-adult interactions organized?
- How can we understand the nature of normal versus abnormal development?
- How do self and mutual regulation relate to developmental processes?
- Is meaning making purely a function of the brain, or is it in our bodies as well?
As a bonus, the book includes a DVD-ROM, with video clips of Tronick’s Still-Face Paradigm, an invaluable teaching aid.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2024Such an important read
- Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2014Tronick explores years of research and ideas that have helped him develop the Mutual Regulation Model of infant-adult interaction that is a keystone for understanding human development. This is a must-have text for anyone wishing to understand the infant mind, the parental role, and the relationship of oneself to the world.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2019The book was just the way you described it! Thanks
- Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2014Dr. Tronnick's book is an essential text in integrating the research in neurobiology, attachment, and social-emotional development. The last decade has brought exciting new understanding of early child development, relationships, and the underlying neurological systems involved. This book will help the reader piece complex concepts together. A must have for every clinician (whether working with adults or children), as well as, an essential textbook for understanding child and family development.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2014Books such as this one are rare, and truly far-in-between. Anyone familiar with research on issues pertinent to Infant-Parent Mental Health will appreciate - yet once again - Ed Tronick's contribution to the literature. A "Must have book" for every department, family, practitioner, and clinician.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2007Tronick's research from the empirical studies of infant neurobehavior, cross-cultural parenting styles, mother-infant interaction to the still-face studies have shaped a generation of reserach on infancy. In this wonderful compendium he brings it all together with his integrative models of mutual regulation and meaning making and now his dynamic systems perspective on the expansion of dyadic states of consciousness. The book is revealing, almost page by page of new ideas and insights, and is filled with implications for new research and reconceputalizing psychotherapeutic process. It is no less than a tour de force.

4.0 out of 5 stars Important content, but it could be less repetitive and less confusing in some passages
This book has some incredible research data on human development, child care in different cultures, and the interaction between caregivers and infants. However, I feel that the author could have decrease the size of this book significantly by not repeating some information over and over again. Also, it had some confusing passages where the author uses the same concept in different contexts, which makes a bit harder to grasp the concept.
