This volume is the outcome of an international symposium held in Berlin, FRG, which brought together researchers in the field of infant development. The contributors are from Europe and North America, and have as their primary professional interest either pediatrics, biology or psychology. These fields, in spite of common involvement and large overlap, still have to overcome communication problems and differences in scientific approaches. The emphasis of this book is on the efforts of the participants towards reaching a mutual understanding. In spite of disciplinary diversity, the papers in this book complement each other, and set the scene for future multidisciplinary research and exchange in the field of infant development.
Originally published in 2006, this authoritative clinical handbook provides a detailed overview of the main disorders encountered by child and adolescent psychiatrists in clinical practice, ranging from eating, sleep and affective disorders to substance abuse, gender identity disorder and sexual abuse. The approach is evidence based and emphasis is on good clinical practice and quality control of patient care. In contrast to other books in the field, the authors' intention is not to cover exhaustively all the relevant science, but rather to present in condensed form any research findings that are significant for clinical practice. For coherence, each chapter is constructed in the same way: introduction, definition and classification, epidemiology, the clinical picture, aetiology, treatment and outcome. The disorders covered are based on the ICD- 10 and DSM-IV classifications, and appendices include documents for assessment of intervention planning and evaluation.
This authoritative 1996 publication was the first to review comprehensively the important relationship between maternal alcohol abuse during pregnancy and the resulting in utero damage to the child, and the results of this damage during the development of affected children. It includes important contributions by leading and internationally acclaimed clinicians and researchers. The first part of the book discusses clinical issues of alcohol teratogenicity, the clinical picture of fetal alcohol syndrome, and the epidemiology of maternal alcohol abuse and the developmental outcome of the children. The second part addresses pathogenesis and neuropathology, whilst part three reviews developmental issues in the growing child. The final part evaluates approaches to rehabilitation and intervention, and reviews social and public health issues. This comprehensive account will be of interest to gynaecologists, obstetricians, midwives, neonatologists and paediatricians, and for child and adolescent psychiatrists and psychologists.

Das Thema der Hirnfunktionsst-rungen und Teilleistungsschw{- chen im Kindesalter ist von gro er praktischer Bedeutung, weil ein betr{chtlicher Teil von Kindern betroffen ist. Die Auswirkungen machen sich generell in derEntwicklung und ganz besonders im Bereich von Schulleistungen bemerkbar. Die Gliederung des Werkes ist dreiteilig. In einem ersten Teil werden mit drei Beitr{gen sowohl die historische Entwicklung der Konzepte von Hirnfunktionsst-rungen und Teilleistungs- schw{chen wie auch die Forschungsentwicklung dargestellt. Im zweiten Teil werden nach grunds{tzlichen ]berlegungen zur Aufgabe neuropsychologischer Testbatterien zwei neuere Ent- wicklungen f}r die neuropsychologische Testdiagnostik vorge- stellt. Schlie lich werden in einem dritten Teil neuropsy- chologische Aspekte spezifischer Teilleistungsst-rungen im Bereich der Sprache, der Lese-Rechtschreibfertigkeiten und des Rechnens dargestellt. Der Band schlie t mit einer ]ber- sicht }ber Therapieans{tze und Verlauf von Hirnfunktionsst-- rungen und Teilleistungsschw{chen. In dieser Gliederung ist die Art der Darstellung neu. Sie vermittelt zugleich eine aktualisierte Aufarbeitung des Wissensstandes. Mit dieser Zielvorstellung verbindet sich die Erwartung, einem inter- displin{ren Leserkreis den Stand wissenschaftlicher Diskus- sionen wie auch der Auswirkungen auf die Praxis in Kinder- und Jugendpsychiatrie, Psychologie und P{dagogik zu vermit- teln.
