Sleep problems of American children have become a matter of
national concern, with recent estimates indicating that 13% to 27%
of children have sleep problems as reported by their parents.
Considering the profound impact that disrupted sleep can have on
family functioning and processes, it is critical that researchers
and clinicians understand how to identify sources and contexts
related to sleep disruptions and their consequences.
Sleep and Development: Familial and Socio-Cultural Considerations
is the first volume to integrate knowledge and approaches from
numerous disciplines to focus on the sleep and development of
children across adjustment and cognitive domains. Addressing the
sleep patterns of children as well as those of other family
members, sleep specialists from pediatrics, human development,
family studies, and developmental and clinical psychology examine
linkages between sleep and family processes, cultural attitudes
towards sleep, and normative sleep disturbances in children, such
as resistance to bedtime, chronic deprivation, and inconsistent
sleep schedules. Individual chapters offer discussion on topics
such as sleep and attachment, the effects of trauma on children's
sleep, the cultural ecology of sleep, clinical assessment of sleep,
and more. Highlighting research findings obtained within the last
ten years, Sleep and Development synthesizes literature from
disparate areas of inquiry in an effort to frame future
investigations that will lead to a deeper and better integrated
understanding of sleep and development. This comprehensive volume
is a fundamental text for students, researchers, psychologists, and
physicians interested in the study of sleep and sleep problems.
