The Effects of Early Adversity on Neurobehavioral Development
This book brings together experts in developmental and clinical psychology and behavorial neuroscientists concerned with the course of developmental in the face of pre and perinatal adversity. For graduate-level researchers and academics
The Development of Intelligence
Provides a contemporary review of methods and theories of the development of intellectual abilities from infancy to adulthood by the major researchers in the field.
Infant Cognition
The historical and procedural contexts of four measures of infant attention and learning - measures that have proved the most promising in predicting later childhood intellectual performance - are explored in this volume. Incorporating the latest research literature on individual differences in the preverbal infant, the author examines the psychometric properties for the measures, their concurrent relations with other measures of early cognition and development, and evidence of their predictive ability.
Neurology of the Infant
Recent advances in the field of developmental neuroscience have been quite exciting, especially as they pertain to infants and children, in whom neurologic development proceeds more rapidly than at any other time of life So much has now been learned of normal neurologic development, which in tun informs the more pressing work of understanding how these normal functions become disordered by genetic, physical. or neurochemical mishaps. The information thus gained can, it is hoped, provide clinicians with the means to improve both their diagnostic and therapeutic tools and, more importantly, to use this understanding in the service of preventing or mitigating the effects of these childhood neurologic disorders. The physiologic and pathologic signs of neurologic diseases are better understood in the light of the current gains made in the fields of paediatric neurophysiology, neurochemistry, neuroimaging and genetics. This progress in knowledge can assuredly help the clinician to recognise the nature of the disorder and to plan the most appropriate and effective measures to improve the quality of the affected child's life.
Stability and Continuity in Mental Development
Filling a gap in current literature on human development, this volume explores the influence of psychophysiological, behavioral, and social factors on stability and continuity in the development of the mind during human infancy. The book reviews existing literature, presents new data, and discusses issues of substance in mental development, methodology, and interpretation. Commentaries by recognized experts interpret the research results from the previous chapters.
Handbook of Psychology, Developmental Psychology
Psychology is of interest to academics from many fields, as well as to the thousands of academic and clinical psychologists and general public who can't help but be interested in learning more about why humans think and behave as they do. This award-winning twelve-volume reference covers every aspect of the ever-fascinating discipline of psychology and represents the most current knowledge in the field. This ten-year revision now covers discoveries based in neuroscience, clinical psychology's new interest in evidence-based practice and mindfulness, and new findings in social, developmental, and forensic psychology.
Anaesthesia
This recent publication is a unique contribution to the history of specialized medicine in Hong Kong. Written by two of Hong Kong's foremost practitioners and teachers of anaesthesiology, the work details the history of this specialty in Hong Kong, including early pioneers, the development of the Society of Anaesthetists, the teaching of anaesthesiology at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, the establishment of the Hong Kong College of Anaesthesiologists, and recent developments in clinical anaesthesiology. A wide range of appendices, including lists of successive office-holders of the specialist societies, lists of scientific meetings relating to anaesthesiology held in Hong Kong, and over 30 pages of plates featuring prominent personages in the field of anaesthesiology, ensure that this will remain a landmark volume in recording the development of anaesthesiology in Hong Kong.

Adherence in Dermatology
An essential, comprehensive, and practical guide to understanding, measuring, and modifying patients’ adherence behavior to optimize treatment outcomes, this book covers all major aspects of adherence in dermatology. The first section describes current knowledge on the magnitude and impact of nonadherence; the second outlines measuring adherence in the context of databases, trials and practice. The third section addresses adherence in key skin diseases and the fourth covers numerous strategies to improve adherence by mitigating specific patient barriers. All sections emphasize ways to optimize communication with patients: the foundation for producing successful health behavior change. Low ...
