Handbook of Mind/Body Integration in Child and Adolescent Development
The Handbook of Mind/Body Integration in Child and Adolescent Development examines issues relating to the mind/body connection in the development of children and adolescents, addressing problems of adverse life experiences with clinical implications, including somatization, functional or unexplained medical disturbances in various organ systems, psychosomatic conditions, and the effects. It discusses the interactions of emotions, experiences, thoughts in the mind – and their manifestations in the body – of children and youth. The book describes the effects of bodily conditions on the emotional state and mental functioning of children, such as cerebral palsy, major medical conditions, and...
The Origins, Prevention and Treatment of Infant Crying and Sleeping Problems
Babies who cry a lot, or are unsettled in the night, are common sources of concern for parents and, consequently, costly problems for health services. In this book, Ian St James-Roberts summarises the evidence concerning infant crying and sleeping problems to provide a new evidence-based approach to these common challenges for parents and health services. The book begins by distinguishing between infant and parental parts of the problems and provides guidelines for assessing each issue. Topics covered include: • the pros and cons of 'infant-demand' versus 'limit-setting' forms of parenting • causes of infant 'colicky' crying and night waking • effects of night-time separations on infan...
Clinical Handbook of Transcultural Infant Mental Health
This handbook provides a review of relevant topics concerning the interface between culture and mental health, with a particular focus on child-rearing practices and transcultural issues in the perinatal period, infancy, and early childhood. It discusses how to work with infants and families from diverse backgrounds and addresses the most common issues that medical and mental health experts may encounter when working with individuals from other cultures. Chapters examine the considerable range of child-rearing strategies and how families from various cultural groups approach issues such as infant sleep, feeding practices, and care during pregnancy. In addition, chapters address conditions th...
Trastorno por déficit de atención a lo largo de la vida
Aunque es normal que los niños muestren mucha actividad física, algunos de ellos lo hacen de tal manera que les genera problemas significativos a ellos mismos y a quienes los rodean. La actividad excesiva en sí misma no es un diagnóstico y puede ser sólo la expresión normal de cierto temperamento o rasgo personal con el que se nace. Sin embargo, cuando esa hiperactividad se acompaña de exceso de impulsividad, distracción y problemas para mantener la atención (lo cual ocurre en aproximadamente 5% de los niños en edad escolar), entonces sí constituye un trastorno, el llamado TDAH o trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad. El TDAH es una condición crónica que puede p...
Infant and Toddler Mental Health
Countless studies have demonstrated the power of early intervention to permanently alter the course of a child's life. Yet -- heightened by the past decade's research breakthroughs in genetics -- the nature vs. nurture controversy rages on. This volume dispels some of the persistent myths surrounding this controversy. Unlike largely theoretical texts that describe infant behavioral and emotional difficulties and other psychosocial challenges affecting young children, this eminently practical guide illustrates what to do in numerous clinical situations with actual patients. Written by clinicians who work with infants and children and their families every day, this reality-based approach addre...
Miradas multidisciplinarias de la violencia y la vulnerabilidad social
El libro que tengo el honor de prologar es un notable estudio contemporáneo de algunas de las más significativas trazas de la violencia en nuestra sociedad. Un trabajo fundado en investigaciones empíricas y documental-conceptuales, que, desde diversos enfoques epistemológicos, permite comprender las características que la violencia presenta en nuestro entorno y la forma en que ella actúa sobre individuos y comunidades en nuestro país. Reconozco en el cuerpo del texto, el análisis de las violencias, en tres de sus ejes fundamentales: el que se realiza en los campos escolares, el que se da en los núcleos familiares y el que se produce en los entornos sociales. Estas tres localizacione...
