Taylor & Francis Ltd Pediatric Psychogastroenterology
Book SynopsisBringing together international experts in psychological and behavioural treatments for pediatric gastrointestinal symptoms, this book provides detailed, evidence-based protocols targeting gastrointestinal distress and associated mental health concerns for patients and their families. The first consolidated resource on the topic, Pediatric Psychogastroenterology gives mental health professionals access to the most up to date clinical knowledge and practice. Taking a holistic approach, it guides the reader on the treatment and care of pediatric gastrointestinal patients, as well as how to work with and support children's parents and families. The book is structured around symptom presentation and common challenges, enabling the reader to focus quickly on the area of need. Each chapter includes clinical pearls of wisdom and 62 developmentally appropriate worksheets for patients and their families to facilitate treatment, available for download.This pTrade Review‘The current book is the first to provide comprehensive information needed for any mental health professional entering the field or established providers looking for an update on recent practices and approaches. This book is a pleasure to read and will be an invaluable resource for any mental health care provider encountering youth with GI issues.’ Professor Carlo Di Lorenzo, Nationwide Children's Hospital, The Ohio State University, USA.‘Van Tilburg, Reed and Knowles have assembled an all-star cast that will make this book pivotal to current clinical care of disorders of gut-brain interaction in both health and disease and provide the basis for future research in the field!’ Professor Benjamin D. Gold, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Site for Improve Care Now (ICN), Past President, North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN), USA. ‘What has become clear is the importance of the relationship between pediatric gastroenterologists and psychologists who collaborate on the care of so many patients. But, for that to happen seamlessly, they need to speak the same language and share a common knowledge base. This book will become the standard road atlas for that communication. It so nicely facilitates a mutual understanding of the complexities of the patients we share. Psychogastroenterology is a tour de force that will quickly become required reading.’ Professor Jeffrey S. Hyams, Connecticut Children’s Medical Center, University of Connecticut School of Medicine, USA. ‘This is a must-have practical and essential resource for health professionals providing care to children with gastrointestinal (GI) conditions.’ Professor Tonya M. Palermo, Seattle Children's Research Institute, University of Washington, USA.

For 80% of the population the answer is “yes”—and most people don’t even realize it. Leaky gut syndrome is the root cause of a litany of ailments, including: chronic inflammation, allergies, autoimmune diseases, hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue, diabetes, and even arthritis.To keep us in good health, our gut relies on maintaining a symbiotic relationship with trillions of microorganisms that live in our digestive tract. When our digestive system is out of whack, serious health problems can manifest and our intestinal walls can develop microscopic holes, allowing undigested food particles, bacteria, and toxins to seep into the bloodstream.
