What happens to children with psychiatric disorders as they mature?
Many children experience attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder,
depression, suicidal behavior, anxiety disorders,
obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, and conduct disorder.
Long-term outcome of childhood disorders is becoming increasingly
more important as clinicians, teachers, and parents take a broader,
more comprehensive view of childhood disorders, their natural
history, their developmental impact, later adolescent and adult
functioning, and their possible multigenerational consequences.
Developmental factors pertaining to the child, such as the age at
onset and severity of the disorder, other comorbid conditions, the
child's sex and IQ, and physical or neurological health, all seem
important in influencing outcome. In addition, social factors, such
as socioeconomic status, family composition, mental health of
parents, family functioning, and child-rearing practices seem to
affect outcome. Finally, the impact of treatment is also crucial
because it provides a picture of long-term efficacy of various
approaches. Do They Grow Out of It? Long-Term Outcomes of Childhood
Disorders is a comprehensive review of this important area that
familiarizes clinicians and others about long-term outcomes of
childhood disorders. This book will guide their present
interventions, which will improve long-term outcome in the future.
Each chapter is written by a professional with expertise in both
the disorder and its long-term sequelae. The authors critically
review available information on long-term outcome of the particular
childhood disorder; what factors, particularly treatments,
influence this outcome; and what future research or clinical
directions appear promising.
A View from Psychoanalysis and Developmental PsychologyChallenging
the traditional developmental sequence as well as the idea that
issues of attachment, dependency, and trust are confined to
infancy, Stern integrates clinical and experimental science to
support his revolutionizing vision of the social and emotional life
of the youngest children, which has had spiraling implications for
theory, research, and practice. A new introduction by the author
celebrates this first paperback edition.

This book expands current and existing understanding and knowledge
about regulating other's emotions. The book creates new tools,
knowledge, and perspectives, while also offering intervention
strategies. The regulation of other's emotions is not a new
phenomenon; this process has occurred since the beginning of social
interaction of human in congregated settings and throughout all
human relationships. What is new however, is studying and
determining the impacts of regulating other's emotions and their
processes for the utilization as a tool within various
environments, industries, and business sectors. This is an
excellent resource for researchers, consultants, librarians,
researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, educators, and
others. This book can be utilized as an advanced book for study or
as a guide.
Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) has emerged as
the standard first-line treatment for insomnia. The number of
patients receiving non-medication treatments is increasing, and
there is a growing need to address a wide range of patient
backgrounds, characteristics, and medical and psychiatric
comorbidities. Adapting Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia
identifies for clinicians how best to deliver and/or modify CBT-I
based on the needs of their patients. The book recommends treatment
modifications based on patient age, comorbid conditions, and for
various special populations.
'Entrepreneurial identities permeate virtually every facet of the
venturing process, but the study of these identities has received
surprisingly little attention among scholars. Thomas Duening and
Matthew Metzger address this problem with this insightful and
timely edited volume. They have compiled an impressive array of
research that covers both macro- and micro-level explorations of
entrepreneurial identities. Most importantly, these chapters
provide numerous examples of tangible advice to interested
educators about how to foster the entrepreneurial spirit and build
the entrepreneurial identity within their own students. This book
is a must-read for anyone interested in entrepreneurial
identities.' - Charles Murnieks, Oregon State University, US
Entrepreneurship is an academic discipline that, despite decades of
growth in research and teaching activity lacks a traditionally
distinct or common pedagogy. In this book, editors Thomas N.
Duening and Matthew L. Metzger explore entrepreneurial identity as
a new basis upon which curricula can be constructed for aspiring
entrepreneurs. Critically, this perspective is based on the insight
that there is a fundamental difference between venture development
and entrepreneur development. Unfortunately, most current
interventions for aspiring entrepreneurs focus on the former at the
expense of the latter. The editors have collected work from an
international team of authors with diverse views on how identity
theory applies to entrepreneur development. Chapters focus
primarily on macro-level identity issues (that is, how do these
entrepreneurial archetypes form, persist, and sometimes change) or
micro-level identity issues (that is, how can educators and
resource providers identify, communicate, and incentivize identity
construction among aspiring entrepreneurs). This book provides a
general theoretical background and offers numerous suggestions for
application and further research. One example of this is the 'For
Further Reading' feature at the end of each chapter which is
perfect for assisting those who want to delve deeper into various
topics. This essential resource will be of interest to researchers,
resource providers and students alike. Contributors include: D.
Boje, A. Donnellon, T.N. Duening, R. Gill, B. Mathias, M.L.
