This handbook addresses the delivery of high quality pediatric
behavioral healthcare services that are multitiered,
evidence-based, and integrated, involving interprofessional
collaboration across child serving systems, such as pediatrician
offices and schools. The book sets forth a contemporary, leading
edge approach that reflects the relationship between biological and
psychosocial development and the influence of multiple systems,
including the family, community, school, and the healthcare system
on child development and functioning. It assists child-focused
providers in developing knowledge about the relationship between
biological and psychosocial development and between pediatric
physical health and behavioral health problems. Chapters cover
common chronic illnesses and behavioral conditions and include
guidelines for screening, assessment, diagnosis, prevention, and
coordinated intervention. Chapters also include representative case
studies that help illustrate efficacious, effective
service-delivery approaches. The handbook concludes with
recommendations for future research and directions for integrated
pediatric behavioral healthcare. Topics featured in the Handbook
include: Behavioral health aspects of chronic physical health
conditions, including asthma, diabetes, chronic pain, traumatic
brain injury, and cancer. Physical health implications of
behavioral health and educational problems, including ADHD,
learning disabilities, substance abuse, and ASD. Coping with
chronic illness and medical stress. Patient adherence to medical
recommendations and treatments. School reintegration after illness.
The Handbook of Pediatric Behavioral Healthcare is a must-have
resource for researchers, professors, and graduate students as well
as clinicians, therapists, and other practitioners in clinical
child and school psychology, primary care medicine, social work,
child and adolescent psychiatry, public health, health psychology,
pediatric medicine, nursing, behavioral therapy, rehabilitation,
and counseling.
