Shaping the Future of Child and Adolescent Mental Health: Towards
Technological Advances and Service Innovations coincides with the
25th International Association for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
and Allied Professions (IACAPAP) Congress in Dubai from December
5-9, 2022. There are three overarching themes of this book.
Firstly, the impact of the Internet and digital technologies on the
mental health and well-being of children and adolescents, including
computerized therapies, and the fundamental role of technologies to
advance knowledge in the field. Secondly, a theme on harnessing the
expansion of knowledge on psychiatric disorders and their treatment
for children and adolescents, exemplified by chapters on different
kinds of adversity in child and adolescent mental health and a
chapter on precision therapeutics. Given the location of the
IACAPAP Congress, the third theme focuses on aspects of child and
adolescent mental health in the Eastern Mediterranean Region.
Chapters provide insights into a broad range of contemporary
technology- and service innovation-related topics in child and
adolescent psychiatry and mental health. These include growing up
in the digital age, cyberbullying, clinical applications of big
data and machine learning, computerized cognitive behavioral
therapy, technology- enhanced learning, lessons from COVID-19, new
understanding of the consequences of psychological trauma,
autoimmune encephalitis, and precision therapeutics in depression.
Acknowledging the global challenge of child and adolescent
psychiatry and mental health, readers will find an emphasis on
contextual challenges in the field, including innovations for
scaling up of mental health intervention in low- and middle-income
countries, and research and training in the Eastern Mediterranean
Region.
Understanding Uniqueness and Diversity in Child and Adolescent
Mental Health examines the determinates of individual differences
in children and young people, along with the origins of
maladjustment and psychiatric disorders. It addresses the ways in
which interventions and mental health services can be developed and
shaped to address individual differences amongst children. Topics
cover the influence of economic adversities and gender differences
on child development and life course, as well as the range of risk
and protective factors associated with the onset and persistence of
problems, including sections on anxiety disorders in infants,
bipolar disorder, and tics and Tourette's. Additional sections
focus on the potential for individualizing treatments as
illustrated by pharmacogenomics, with another highlighting ways in
which services can be adapted for specific environments, such as
the needs of refugee children and systems of service delivery that
can be enhanced by the use of telemedicine.
