Developmental And Behavioral Pediatrics: A Handbook for Primary Care (Parker, Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics)

The thoroughly updated Second Edition of this popular handbook provides practical guidance on diagnosing and treating children with developmental and behavioral problems in the primary care setting. New chapters cover pediatric psychopharmacology, sensory integrations disorder, bad news in the media, post-traumatic stress disorder, Asperger syndrome, promoting resilience, the explosive child, family treatment, cultural competence, and bipolar disorder. The authors present current information on common problems such as ADHD, biting, school avoidance, the picky eater, obesity, sleep problems, and colic and on significant developmental disorders such as autistic spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, and the dysmorphic child. A separate section focuses on screening for developmental and behavioral disorders in primary care. Susan T. Erie This book is a clinician's reference guide to developmental and behavioral pediatrics. Each chapter is written in brief outline form and is followed by references for those wishing more detailed information. The aim is to provide busy primary care clinicians with a concise reference on behavioral and developmental issues in pediatrics. The authors seek to help clinicians establish rapport with and elicit information from patients, understand the psychological, biological, and social roots of patients' problems and provide effective treatment for them. With the current trend in medicine toward increasingly outpatient-oriented care, this aim is both worthy and well accomplished . This book is oriented toward all primary care clinicians who treat children, including pediatricians, family practitioners, physician's assistants, nurses, etc., but it might also be helpful to medical and nursing students as a clinical aid. The authors are considered experts in their fields and represent medical schools, colleges, and universities across the nation. There are few pictures in this book, but there are many useful tables and charts that provide rapidly accessible summaries of the data presented in the chapter. The outline format makes this book both visually appealing and easy to read. Also, the references listed at the end of each chapter provide additional resources for both clinicians and interested parents. This is an extremely useful book that discusses two areas of pediatric medicine that are becoming increasingly important to address if quality care is to be ensured. It provides the busy clinician with brief yet thorough information, including treatment options, on a wide variety ofbehavioral and developmental issues.
