Sommario/riassunto

The Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS) is the most comprehensive examination of newborn behaviour: it assesses behavioral repertoire and neurological status. Used increasingly as a way of promoting a positive relationship between parent and child, the new edition also covers motor behaviour and includes new guidelines for clinicians.
