Download or read book Pediatric Behavioral Neurology written by Yitzchak Frank and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-11-01 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assembles, for the first time, information required for the recognition, understanding, and treatment of behavioral problems resulting from neurological conditions. Its focus is two-pronged: 1) on conditions where cognitive-behavioral manifestations are major symptoms, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism, and developmental language disorder; and 2) on conditions where these symptoms are significant but secondary, such as brain tumors, epilepsy, and AIDS. This multi-authored guide also outlines effective approaches to behavioral therapy for these conditions. Pediatric Behavioral Neurology is an excellent resource for practitioners whose work demands knowledge of the symptoms, signs, and treatment of behavioral and cognitive disorders caused by brain abnormalities. It is comprehensive, yet concise and easy to use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adult neuropsychiatry is now a well-established field with numerous reputable references. Practitioners who work with children routinely note how references and practitioners knowledgeable in the equivalent work in the pediatric world are rare. Child psychiatrists and neurologists frequently work with individuals struggling with these conditions and would strongly benefit from such a reference that incorporates medical work-up, psychopharmacological recommendations, family/support recommendations and theoretical pathophysiology. Pediatricians and developmental pediatricians often treat children with behavioral and neuropsychiatric sequelae, but are not well-trained in the neuropsychiatric management of these cases. Neuropsychologists and educational psychologists working with children and adults with pediatric-onset conditions will also find the text helpful to contextualize their cases, better-understand the medical evaluation and management and perhaps adjust recommendations that would supplement their own testing methods. Finally, sub-specialists in adult neurology, psychiatry and neuropsychiatry often find themselves working with these children by default as there are few pediatric subspecialists who are available to accept them into practice. When facing complex neuropsychiatric illness in children, many clinicians are stymied because they may have “never seen a case like that”. This text fills the wide gap that currently exists and helps move this field forward. The approach utilized in adult neuropsychiatry that is both clear and accessible does not yet have an equivalent in the pediatric realm, but there is tremendous interest in its development. Children and adolescents with neuropsychiatric conditions are very common and they and their caregivers often struggle to find professionals well educated in this field. Ultimately, a wide range of clinicians will find this text to be a very helpful resource for diagnosis and management in the spectrum of pediatric neuropsychiatric conditions. The case-based approach is also unique with respect to neuropsychiatric approaches, and the clear cut, reader-friendly approach of such a format would likely be well-received among physicians looking for a resource on this issue.

Download or read book Cognitive and Behavioral Abnormalities of Pediatric Diseases written by Ruth D. Nass and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 694 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a detailed account of intellectual, other neuropsychological and behavioral manifestations of general pediatric diseases. The conditions discussed include the whole range of pediatric diseases - genetic syndromes, other congenital conditions, metabolic, endocrine, gastrointestinal, infectious, immunologic, toxic, trauma, and neoplastic, as well as sensory disabilities including deafness and blindness. Although the book is not intended to discuss cognitive and behavioral manifestations of conditions usually considered to be primary neurological disease, some of those, including cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, myotonic dystrophy and epilepsy, are included. Where possible, a "translational" approach is used, linking the behavioral and cognitive manifestations of these conditions, to the underlying structural, chemical or genetic abnormalities and their effect on the brain, and, in turn, on behavior and cognition. At the same time, included are significant psychosocial factors. Together, those factors have a major effect on patients' performance, including school performance, and on their families. This book is unique in its extensive coverage of the major pediatric conditions and of the detailed neurological, neuropsychological and behavioral aspects of each condition.

Download or read book Textbook of Pediatric Neuropsychiatry written by C. Edward Coffey and published by American Psychiatric Publishing. This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning the fields of pediatric medicine, pediatric neurology, and child and adolescent psychiatry, "Textbook of Pediatric Neuropsychiatry" is the definitive resource on all aspects of pediatric neuropsychiatry. Written by world-renowned experts in the field, this comprehensive text provides child and adolescent psychiatrists, neurologists, pediatricians, and other clinicians with complete coverage of the latest developments in research, theory, assessment and diagnosis, treatment, and other vital aspects of clinical practice. This text offers an at-a-glance reference to all fundamental topics in pediatric neuropsychiatry and contains a thorough, exhaustive, and current literature review. The "Textbook" is organized into five sections: Section I discusses the specialty of pediatric neuropsychiatry, normal and abnormal brain development, cerebral connectivity, and normal growth and physical development. It includes an integrative model linking developmental brain biology with behavior. Section II discusses normal behavioral and personality development; bedside, neuropsychological, and psychoeducational assessment of the pediatric patient; and the role of advanced brain-imaging technologies in the evaluation of children and adolescents. This section defines the acceptable limits of normal brain development. Sections III and IV provide the clinical core of the "Textbook" and focus on the neuropsychiatric aspects of psychiatric and neurological disorders in children and adolescents. These sections highlight how the developing nervous system influences the pathophysiology, neuropsychiatric manifestations, clinical course, treatment, and prognosis of psychiatric and neurologicalillness. Section V examines psychopharmacology, electroconvulsive therapy, genetic interventions, psychosocial and family therapies, educational interventions, and residential facilities. The section also includes a chapter on the special legal considerations that impact the provision of care for these patients. This volume is an unparalleled teaching tool that will be a key reference for psychiatry residents pursuing a fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry and for neurology residents seeking certification in child neurology. Because this text discusses brain development abnormalities that may manifest themselves later in life, the "Textbook of Pediatric Neuropsychiatry" will also be an important adjunct text for psychiatric training classes as well as for neurology residents, graduate students in psychology, and social work students. A valuable investment for mental health education and clinical practice, this unique textbook will form the basis for a sophisticated clinical practice.

Download or read book The Effects of Early Adversity on Neurobehavioral Development written by Charles A. Nelson and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2000-09-01 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been a burgeoning of interest in the relation between biological development--particularly brain development--and behavioral development. This shift in focus does a better job of reflecting the whole child and all of development. Not surprisingly, many of the individuals who are concerned with the theoretical side of brain-behavior relations are also concerned with the more practical side. The chapters that comprise this 31st volume of the Minnesota Symposium series collectively capture the subtle dance between the biological and behavioral aspects of early adversity as it influences neurobehavioral development. Individuals interested in this volume represent the disciplines of developmental psychology and psychopathology, child psychiatry, toxicology, developmental and behavioral pediatrics, behavioral neurology, and special education.
Download or read book Textbook of Developmental Pediatrics written by Marvin I. Gottlieb and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 551 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Child/adolescent development and behavior have been a traditional "concern" of prima ry health care providers. However, it was not until the mid-1960s that attempts were made to consolidate developmental-behavioral issues into an identifiably distinct fund of medi cal knowledge. During the ensuing two decades, developmental-behavioral pediatrics was recognized as a clinical and research subspecialty, within the framework of compre hensive health care for children. The influence of public advocacy groups, topic-dedicated journals, national professional specialty societies, subject-related continuing education programs, and federal legislation (PL94-142) has served to crystallize developmen tal-behavioral pediatrics as a specialized field of study. As a consequence, during the past ten years significant modifications have restructured medical student and pediatric resi dent education, providing an emphasis on developmental-behavioral issues. The focus on neurodevelopmental, educational, and psychosocial issues reflects changing priorities in traditional health care for children. The postgraduate training of pediatric fellows, in two and three-year training programs, was initiated to accommodate professional manpower needs in both academic and practice settings. Many of the problems in childhood development and behavior frequently span the traditional areas of child neurology, child psychiatry, and general pediatrics. As a result there has been some confusion in demarcating professional responsibilities in diagnosis and management, as well as poorly defined terminology and classification schemas. With the birth of developmental pediatrics as a pediatric specialty, a more cohesive fund of knowledge has been accumulated and more meaningful strategies have been designed for prevention, diagnosis, and management.

This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are most pleased to present Volume 3 of Developmental-Behavioral Disorders: Selected Topics, designed to serve as a companion for standard reference textbooks that address cogent issues in developmental pedi atrics. Periodic publications such as Selected Topics and theme-related articles, as well as continuing education programs, attempt to supple ment in a timely fashion the rapidly changing knowledge base in devel opmental-behavioral pediatrics. These media are important as forums for enhancing the quality of clinical practice, teaching skills, and re search activities. The need is critical for periodically disseminating and updating information about issues in developmental medicine, in as much as this field of study continues to expand at a meteoric pace. During the past several decades, developmental medicine has been recognized as a defined subspecialty in pediatrics. The spectrum of problems encompassed by this discipline is relatively broad and at times clinically overwhelming. The ultimate goal of preventing delays, disor ders, and/or dysfunctions from becoming chronic handicapping condi tions has, by volume per se, created clinical dilemmas for pediatric health care providers. There are numerous facets of providing efficient and effective care, which in the field of developmental-behavioral pediatrics are often exaggerated impediments to the delivery of services by pri mary health care specialists, e. g. , time, clinical skills, need for inter disciplinary management, medical-legal responsibilities, financial reim bursements. These issues, as well as clinical problems, are still very much part of the information base to be disseminated to concerned pro fessionals.
