Addressing the major advances in biomedical, psychological, social,
and environmental sciences over the past decade,
Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics, 5th Edition, remains the
reference of choice for professionals in a wide range of fields,
including medicine and health care, education, social service,
advocacy, and public policy. This foundational, pioneering resource
emphasizes children's assets and liabilities, not just categorical
labels. Comprehensive in scope, it offers information and guidance
on normal development and behavior, psychosocial, and biologic
influences on development, developmental disorders,
neurodevelopmental disabilities, and mental health conditions. It
also discusses tools and strategies for diagnosis and management,
including new assessments that can be used in telehealth
encounters. Offers a highly practical focus, emphasizing clinical
approaches to evaluation, counseling, treatment, and ongoing care.
Provides new or expanded information on theoretical foundations of
human development and behavior; trauma, adverse childhood events,
and resilience across the life span; mechanisms of genetic,
epigenetic, and neurological conditions; and principles of
psychological assessment, including a broad array of evaluation
approaches. Discusses management and treatment for developmental
and behavioral conditions, spanning common factors, cognitive
behavior therapies, rehabilitative services, integrative medicine,
and psychopharmacology. Contains up-to-date chapters on celebrating
socio-cultural diversity and addressing racism and bias, acute
stress and post-traumatic stress disorder in youth, sexuality and
variation, and alternatives to restrictive guardianship. Begins
each chapter with a colorful vignette that demonstrates the
importance of the human dimensions of developmental-behavioral
pediatrics. Offers viewpoints from an interdisciplinary team of
editors and contributors, representing developmental-behavioral
pediatrics, general pediatrics, psychiatry, psychology,
occupational and physical therapy, speech-language pathology, and
law. Provides the latest drug information in the updated and
revised chapters on psychopharmacology. Includes key points boxes,
tables, pictures, and diagrams to clarify and enhance the text.
