Children, adolescents and their families are presented with
prodigious difficulties as they face the challenges of the 21st
century. Our children pass through intricate developmental phases
as they traverse through childhood and adolescence on their
inevitable journey into adulthood. Since many parents face
considerable challenges in their endeavours to help their children,
many families turn to their primary care professionals for counsel
in this regard. There are a limited number of books summarising
current concepts of behavioural pediatrics as defined by the first
edition of this book: "what the clinician does to diagnose, to
treat, and most importantly, to prevent mental illness in children
and adolescents." The authors have compiled this updated
information for various health care professionals who are seeking
to provide comprehensive health care for our children and
adolescents -- paediatricians, family medicine physicians,
internists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners,
psychologists, social workers, health educators and others involved
in the care of children and adolescents. Much has evolved in this
field since the publication of the first edition in 1992. Research
in child and adolescent psychiatry, psychology, behavioural
sciences, paediatrics, family therapy, individual therapy and
related fields have led to new and exciting information.
Advancements in psychopharmacology have lead to an explosion of
medications used to treat a wide variety of mental health
disorders, including depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, disruptive
behavioural disorders, eating disorders,
attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and others. This
edition is designed to provide the primary-care clinician with a
practical guide to early recognition and intervention in the
significant problems increasingly affecting the emotional health of
children and adolescents. It is the hope of the editors of this
edition that this updated information will be of considerable help
to clinicians in helping to meet the complex needs of the children,
adolescents, and families that they serve. Today, our families
expect us to look at both the medical and metal health aspects
which affect our children and teenagers.
