The Infant Mental Health Journal: Infancy and Early Childhood is a developmental psychology journal focusing on early social and emotional development and characteristics that influence social-emotional development from relationship-based perspectives. We focus on the prenatal-age 5 period and employ relationship-based perspectives in key research questions and interpretation and implications of findings. We are dedicated to an interdisciplinary approach to the optimal development of infants, toddlers, very young children, their families, caregivers, and teachers.

The Michigan Association for Infant Mental Health (MI-AIMH) is the copyright holder and owner of the Infant Mental Health Journal (IMHJ). MI-AIMH contracts with the Alliance for the Advancement of Infant Mental Health to manage business tasks related to the IMHJ.

Through a cooperative agreement between MI-AIMH, the Alliance, and the World Association for Infant Mental Health (WAIMH), the IMHJ is known as the Official Journal of WAIMH.
