Neurodevelopmental Disorders in Children and Adolescents: A Guide to Evaluation and Treatment (Clinical Topics in Psychology and Psychiatry) 1st Edition (2018) (PDF) by Christopher J. Nicholls

Description

Neurodevelopmental Disorders in Children and Adolescents provides an innovative perspective on developmental disorders in youth, one focused on embracing and working with the “messiness” and many variables at play in child and adolescent development. The volume’s approach is aligned with the NIMH Research Domain Criteria project, which hopes to move away from categorical diagnosis toward multidimensional analysis. Each chapter focuses on a particular aspect of development, cluster of diagnoses, or clinical concern. The book also emphasizes humility, an awareness of diversity and difference without stigma, and support for collaborative and integrative healthcare. This is an essential volume for practitioners hoping to improve how they evaluate and treat developmental disorders in children.

User’s Reviews

Review “In this charming, comprehensive, and warmly written book, Chris Nicholls
invites us to set aside categorical thinking and allow ourselves to see the
child, their family, and their unique life contexts in all their messy
splendor. Are we considering variance in a child’s test data or history to
reflect interesting considerations or annoying facts that don’t fit our
diagnostic impression? At every turn of the page, Dr. Nicholls resists the
‘wishful desire for a nice, simple explanation for just how complicated
life is.’ Reading this book is like having the great good fortune to be
personally mentored by the type of seasoned, collaborative, highly
knowledgeable professional you would bring your own child to see.” ―Karen
Postal, PhD, ABPP-CN, clinical instructor of neuropsychology at Harvard
Medical School “Dr. Nicholls has provided the neuropsychological community
with an outstanding model for applying a developmental approach to
dimensional analysis of disorders in children and adolescents. If I were
training graduate students and postdoctoral residents, Dr. Nicholls’s work
would definitely be on our reading list. For practicing clinicians, this
volume will broaden conceptualization of neuropsychological interpretation,
add significantly to a knowledge base, and reinforce the integration of
information from a variety of sources into a sophisticated understanding of
the individual, leading to pragmatic recommendations for implementing
strategies to make a meaningful difference for the individual.” ―Wilma G.
Rosen, PhD, ABPdN, neuropsychologist in private practice and adjunct
assistant professor in the graduate program in psychology at the City
University of New York “Dr. Nicholls’s clinical experience and expertise is
evident in this unique volume, which addresses conceptual and practical
issues when working with children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental
disorders. I believe the book will be thought provoking for beginning and
experienced practitioners.” ―Andrew S. Davis, PhD, professor of psychology
at Ball State University
