"An essential resource from the co-author of Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS), J. Kevin Nugent, and his colleagues, this system is just what clinicians in hospital, clinic, or home settings need to help new mothers and fathers get to know their baby, increase their confidence and competence as parents, and support their child's growth and development."--BOOK JACKET ER -
