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.
Reviews
Review From the reviews: “The book religiously adheres to empirical evidence from studies of clinical evaluation and treatment of neuromuscular disease. … its writing is crystal clear, with nice summaries in each section and at the end of each chapter. … it is a superb tool in conjunction with traditional teaching or when used by practitioners or teachers. … it is an outstanding source of the actual evidence, carefully reviewed and discussed, free of flashy distraction. As such, I will turn to it frequently as a trusted reference.” (S. Claiborne Johnston, Muscle & Nerve, February, 2007) “…useful for non-specialised and specialised neurologists treating neuromuscular disorders, and especially for those under the pressures of medicine who have difficulties in gathering detailed information required to reach unbiased conclusions.” -Schweizer Archiv Fur Neurologie und Psychiatrie “The information … constitutes an easily accessible resource for the busy practitioner or the novice in the field, because the reader can select questions of interest without needing to read a whole review on the subject. The format is didactic and keeps the reader engaged. … this book can provide easy reading for the busy general neurologist and offers quick and succinct answers to questions raised in everyday practice regarding the diagnosis and management of common neuromuscular problems.” (Marinos C. Dalakas, The New England Journal of Medicine, May, 2007)
