One out of every ten children in the U.S. is affected by a
pervasive developmental disorder (PPD). This comprehensive volume
examines in depth the neuropsychological foundations of these
disorders, providing up-to-date, detailed information on the full
range of diagnostic, assessment, and treatment tools available to
help children suffering from PDDs. With an eye to greater
diagnostic clarity, leading researchers and practitioners of
neuropsychology, neurology, psychiatry, and clinical psychology
discuss the phenomena of the presentations of PDD as they
correspond to their neuropsychological features. They address the
neuropathological and pathophysiological bases of each presentation
and how these factors correspond with functional outcomes in regard
to neuropsychological, emotional, behavioural, and social outcomes.
The manner by which these factors are assessed, and how that
information is used to differentially diagnose, will be discussed
at length, along with methods of intervention. The
interdisciplinary nature of this volume will make it of interest to
practitioners and researchers in the field of neurology,
psychiatry, paediatrics, school psychology, and clinical
psychology. Key Features: Covers the full range of identified PDDs
including Autism, Asberger's, Rett's Disorder, Childhood
Integrative Disorder, and PDD-Not Otherwise Specified Addresses
multiple issues relating to PDDs including their neuropathology and
psychophysiology and advances in assessment, diagnosis, and
treatment Includes contributions from a leading group of
researchers and practitioners from neuropsychology, neurology,
psychiatry, and clinical psychology
