Brain, Mind, and Developmental Psychopathology in Childhood, part
of the International Association of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
and Allied Professions' book series "Working with Children &
Adolescents" edited by Elena Garralda and Jean-Philippe Raynaud,
aims to help advance knowledge on the connections between brain,
mind, and development psychopathology in children and young people,
an area of high relevance across different contexts around the
world. It outlines brain mechanisms underlying children's ability
to regulate behavior, emotions, interactions with others, responses
to stress, and child psychiatric disorders. The book contains
expert views supported by empirical evidence, and there is an
emphasis on drawing out the clinical implications. It brings
together knowledge from a variety of disciplines on bodily and
brain processes that underlie developmental and psychiatric
disorders in children and young people. Chapters include conceptual
and empirical discussion of the biological and psychological
influences on developmental psychopathology in childhood, clinical
updates focusing on the biological underpinnings of individual
child neuropsychiatric disorders as well as integrating biological
and psychological therapies in child mental health. The book also
discusses broader psychological/social problems, with chapters on
the effects of child maltreatment in the developing brain, an
update on understanding and management of self-harm, and advocacy
papers on learning disorders and child and adolescent mental
health.

From Research to Practice in Child and Adolescent Mental Health has
been shaped to reflect the mental health needs of children and
adolescents in low and middle income countries of the world. It
also includes chapters on topics based on research and practice in
high income countries which may have lessons and implications
universally. The first section of the book takes a child and
adolescent mental health services perspective encompassing
epidemiology, mental health needs, and selected policy issues. The
second section provides summaries of research findings into the
mechanisms for problems frequently encountered in child and
adolescent psychiatric practice: schizophrenia, mood disorders, and
sleep problems. The third and last section is about interventions
and practice. It describes the treatment gap between low and middle
income countries in relation to child and adolescent mental health
and shows how professionals or lay people may be trained to
effectively deliver interventions. This monograph has been produced
for the 21st congress of the International Association for Child
and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions (IACAPAP) to be
held in Durban, South Africa, in 2014. This is the first congress
of IACAPAP in Africa, and it takes place at an appropriate time in
view of the continent's burgeoning child population, significant
economic growth and wish to improve the populations' health.
In this volume, Elena Garralda and Jean-Philippe Raynaud aim to
contribute to advancing awareness of child and adolescent mental
health within an international framework that gives special
consideration to problems arising in different contexts around the
world and through expert views supported by empirical evidence and
considering clinical implications. There is increasing recognition
worldwide of the importance of child and adolescent mental health
problems, of the distress and impairment they can cause to children
and their families, and of the markedly adverse effects on
education and on adult psychiatric adjustment when left untreated.
Globally, however, services to attend to these problems in children
are uneven and patchy. There is a need to advance awareness of
child and adolescent mental health and of factors that influence
them. Chapters address the effects on child mental health of issues
ranging from secular changes in family composition in both western
and eastern countries, rapid industrialization, poverty,
deprivation, and adoption, to refugee status and aboriginal life.
It considers emerging issues, such as cyber addiction, PTSD, ADHD
across different cultures, and the autistic "epidemic." They
discuss new service developments (Eastern Europe, paediatric
liaison services) in the context of traditional methods
(traditional Chinese medicine).

This volume, part of the International Association of Child and
Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions' book series 'Working
with Children & Adolescents,' aims to bring up-to-date
empirically derived knowledge on transcultural themes as they
affect child and adolescent mental adjustment, to assist those
seeking to understand and ameliorate the mental health problems of
children and young people. The contributors represent expert views
supported by empirical and clinical experiences. They address first
general transcultural issues of relevance for child mental health
(i.e. political turmoil, the effects of stigma, anthropological
considerations, international adoptions, and the adjustment of
specific immigrant groups); secondly, cultural aspects of specific
child and adolescent mental health disorders. Thirdly, it covers
the training of professionals in transcultural child psychiatry and
setting up temporary interventions in war and conflict areas.
