DETAILS:

The PSI addresses the early identification and assessment needs recognized by the Report of the Surgeon General's Conference on Children's Mental Health (January 2001). It is well-suited for use in primary health care and pediatric practices, as well as in other settings and programs that serve at-risk children and families or provide early childhood educational and developmental experiences. The PSI is designed for the early identification of parenting and family characteristics that fail to promote normal development and functioning in children, children with behavioral and emotional problems, and parents who are at risk for dysfunctional parenting. It can be used with parents of children as young as one month.
