Although developmental concepts have held a prominent place in
American psychiatry for over fifty years because of the dominance
of psychodynamic theory, it is only in recent years that advances
in neuroscience have begun to impact developmental psychiatry.
James Harris's two volume work on developmental neuropsychiatry
sets the agenda for this emerging clinical specialty. Written by an
individual with the developmental expertise of a pediatrician, the
behavioral sophistication of an adult and child psychiatrist, and a
deep appreciation of neuroscience, these two books offer an
integrated yet comprehensive approach to developmental
neuropsychiatry.
In Volume I, Part I discusses basic neural science, including
aspects of molecular neurobiology, developmental neuroanatomy,
neurotransmitter systems and neuronal signaling mechanisms, sleep
and circadian rhythms, and basic genetics. Part II provides
background on cognitive neuroscience that relate to attention,
emotion, language, memory, neural networks, and consciousness. Part
III emphasizes the developmental perspective which is crucial to an
understanding of neurodevelopmental disorders. It offers an
ethological framework as well as background information on
cognitive development, emotion expression and regulation, language
development, temperament and personality, and the emergence of the
self.
