This fully updated edition of Developmental Neuropsychology: A Clinical Approach addresses key issues in child neuropsychology with a unique emphasis on evidence-informed clinical practice rather than research issues. Although research findings are presented, they are described with emphasis on what is relevant for assessment, treatment and management of paediatric conditions. The authors focus on a number of areas. First, the text examines the natural history of childhood central nervous system (CNS) insult, highlighting studies where children have been followed over time to determine the impact of injury on ongoing development. Second, processes of normal and abnormal cerebral and cognitive development are outlined and the concepts of brain plasticity and the impact of early CNS insult discussed. Third, using a number of common childhood CNS disorders as examples, the authors develop a model which describes the complex interaction among biological, psychosocial and cognitive factors in the brain-injured child. Finally, principles of evidence-based assessment, diagnosis and intervention are discussed.

The text will be of use on advanced undergraduate courses in developmental neuropsychology, postgraduate clinical training programmes and for professionals working with children in clinical psychology, clinical neuropsychology and educational and rehabilitation contexts. The text is also an important reference for those working in paediatric research.

This volume provides an evidence base for clinical practice specific to traumatic brain injury (TBI) sustained during childhood, using a biological-psychosocial conceptual framework. Unlike previous books that have focused on a particular aspect of pediatric TBI, such as assessment or intervention, this book covers a broad scope of topics that offers the reader a comprehensive outlook on the characteristics and repercussions of pediatric TBI, from the time of the accident and throughout the lifespan.

The book takes a clinical perspective incorporating current and past research and evidence regarding advances that have occurred in areas such as outcomes, predictors, medical technology, and rehabilitation post-TBI. The topics are illustrated with past and current research, as well as a range of clinical case studies.

The volume is invaluable to established and new clinicians and researchers, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who work in the field of pediatric TBI field, including psychologists, neuropsychologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, nurses, social workers, psychiatrists, neurosurgeons, neurologists, geneticists, educators, pediatricians, rehabilitationists, and representatives from the legal profession.

This volume has as its primary aim the examination of issues concerning executive function and frontal lobe development. While many texts have addressed these issues, this is the first to do so within a specifically developmental framework.

This area of cognitive function has received increasing attention over the past decade, and it is now established that the frontal lobes, and associated executive functions, are critical for efficient functioning in daily life. It is also clear, and of particular relevance to this text, that these functions develop gradually through childhood, and then deteriorate during old age. These developmental trajectories, and the impact of any interruption to them, are the focus of this volume.

Frequently identified as sensational literature filled with violent characters, intricately woven plots, changing identities and confusion between issues of right and wrong, many considered the Dime Novel guilty of sending serious and improper messages to the day's impressionable youth. Though read by many from the middle of the nineteenth century to the early twentieth century, these short, pocket-sized publications were severely criticized. This work looks at the authors, publishers, illustrators, and subject matter of the dime novel. Other types of children's literature, such as story papers, chapbooks, broadsides, serial books, pulp magazines, comic books and today's paperback books are discussed, as well. American life and thought and how they reflect cultural nationalism through their ideological teachings in personal morality and ethics, humanitarian reform and political thought; a study of the dime novel's contribution to the genre of children's literature is thus provided. Eight appendices are offered: Appendix A provides a chronology of the Dime Novel and related works from 1860-1902; Appendix B is an annotated bibliography of Dime Novels; Appendix C lists Series Books; Appendix D lists Story Paper periodicals; Appendix E is a chronological list of significant children's literature published year by year; Appendix F provides pseudonyms; Appendix G is a list of character names and Appendix H is a biographical dictionary. A book and periodical reference section, an index and illustrations are all included.
