Book SynopsisForeword by Philippa Perry‘Based on groundbreaking research that has the power to change the lives of countless children - and the adults who love them.’ – Susan Cain, New York Times bestselling author of Quiet'A necessary and important book.' - Philippa Perry, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Book You Wish Your Parents Had ReadAre you a hardy and resilient dandelion, or are you a more sensitive and fragile orchid?Building on the definitions of introvert, extrovert or highly sensitive, The Orchid and the Dandelion exposes – for the first time – how a combination of environmental and genetic factors contribute to what makes us who we are. This breakthrough research explains why some people struggle where others succeed, why happiness comes so easily to some while frustrations weigh more heavily on others.In The Orchid and the Dandelion, Dr W. Thomas Boyce – one of the world’s foremost researchers in the field of pediatric health – presents findings that children have two very different responses to their environments. While some children are like dandelions and can thrive in almost any environment, there are others who, like orchids, are much more reactive and susceptible to their surroundings. Now we finally have a scientific framework to understand people and how to address their unique needs to help them find their fullest potential.This groundbreaking book draws on extensive research into genetics and the exploding field of epigenetics, examples and real stories that will re-frame how we think about orchid and dandelion children – and the adults those children have become. By understanding which of us are, genetically and environmentally speaking, the orchids of this world, Dr Boyce explains how to care for and parent our children – the true orchids. He shows how we can help them thrive by sharing insights and lessons from his thirty years of research in the field.Trade ReviewThis is a necessary and important book. -- Philippa Perry * Guardian *Groundbreaking research that has the power to change the lives of countless children—and the adults who love them. -- Susan Cain, New York Times bestselling author of QuietThis is the first parenting book I've read in a while that is based on common sense and science.

Book SynopsisIn ADHD and the Edison Gene, Thom Hartmann shows that the creativity, impulsiveness, risk taking, distractibility, and novelty seeking that are characteristic of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are not signs of a disorder at all but instead are components of a highly adaptive skill set utilized by our hunting and gathering ancestors. These characteristics have been critical to the survival and development of our modern civilization and will be vital as humanity faces new challenges in the future. Hartmann, creator of the "hunter versus farmer" theory of ADHD, examines the differences in neurology between people with ADHD and those without, sharing recent discoveries that confirm the existence of an ADHD gene and the global catastrophe 40,000 years ago that triggered its development. He cites examples of significant innovators with ADHD traits, such as Ben Franklin and Thomas Edison, and argues that the children who possess the ADHD gene have neurology that is wired to give them brilliant success as artists, innovators, inventors, explorers, and entrepreneurs. Emphasizing the role that parents and teachers can play in harnessing the advantages of ADHD, he shares the story of how Edison was expelled from school for ADHD-related behavior and luckily his mother understood how to salvage his self-esteem and prepare him for a lifetime of success. Offering concrete strategies for nurturing, educating, and helping these children reach their full potential, Hartmann shows that rather than being "problems" such children are a vital gift to our society and the world.Trade Review“Like Edison, Thom Hartmann is a visionary who uses history to illuminate the potential cost to society of shackling unique minds aching to soar. He questions the cultural imperative that compels us to label what is outside the bell curve as pathological rather than extraordinary. In this new edition, Hartmann urges us to nurture the fearlessly innovative child and celebrate their differences. Our futures will ultimately be shaped by those undaunted by the spectra of the impossible--because they have been taught to believe in their own self-worth.” * Ellen Littman, Ph.D., coauthor of Understanding Girls with ADHD *“Instead of pathologizing the differences we call ADHD, we need to value neurodiversity, and Thom’s book shows us in rich detail how and why this is true. Thom’s work can help protect children and adults from the devastating effects of being viewed through a pervasive pathological lens--a much more severe problem than ADHD could ever be!” * Sari Solden, M.S., L.M.F.T., psychotherapist and author of Women with Attention Deficit Disorder and *“Thom Hartmann has made one of the most important contributions to transforming our understanding of ADHD. Thom was the first to consider ADHD in an evolutionary context. He showed that ADHD has not only a significant survival advantage in hunter gatherer societies, but that it also confers powerful advantages in our contemporary civilization. Thom was one of the very first to comment on the link between ADHD and creativity. He will be recognized as a pioneer contributing to the reconceptualization of ADHD from being simply a ‘disorder’ to being viewed as a ‘mode of thought’ characterized by strengths, such as enhanced creativity.” * Richard Silberstein Ph.D., professor emeritus, Swinburne University of Technology *"From the marvelous mind, and lively pen of Thom Hartmann comes this new opportunity to celebratethe magnificent diversity of how we learn to thrive Read it... and start a new conversation with your kids." * Rabbi Hillel Zeitlin, Director, The Maryland Institute for Ericksonian Hypnosis & Psychotherapy *“The very gene associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may have helped humans survive sudden climate changes before the end of the ice age. Thom Hartmann explains that children and adults with ADHD have characteristics such as risk-taking, distractibility, creativity and impulsiveness that are ideal for life paths that could well save us in the future. They're ideally suited to becoming entrepreneurs, explorers, inventors, innovators, emergency room physicians and fighter pilots. Drugs are not the answer; nor is the structured education system which has no room for "problem" children. Hartmann has strategies to help parents and teachers bring out the best in so-called hyperactive kids.” * Nexus, February 2016 *“The very gene associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may have helped humans survive sudden climate changes before the end of the ice age.…children and adults with ADHD have characteristics such as risk-taking, distractibility, creativity and impulsiveness that are ideal for life paths that could well save us in the future. They’re ideally suited to becoming entrepreneurs, explorers, inventors, innovators, ER physicians and fighter pilots. Hartman has strategies to help parents and teachers bring out the best in so-called hyperactive kids.” * Nexus Magazine, March 2016 *“There is a lot of practical advice on how to interact and encourage ‘Edison Gene’ children; showing how to celebrate their skills rather than condemn their behavior. I found this book insightful, informative and inspirational. The message I took away from this book was: ‘child-hood’ is not a psychological disorder--stop drugging our kids.” * New Dawn, Sandy Brightman, March 2016 *Table of ContentsForeword by Lucy Jo Palladino, Ph.D. Acknowledgments Introduction: A New View for Our Children Genetics and Differences 1993: The Hunter Gene Distractibility Impulsivity Risk-Taking Where Have All the Hunters Gone?

Director, Department of Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health, World Health Organisation. “There cannot be many places where the `Sustainable Development Goals’ nestle comfortably between `Acute Kidney Injury’ and `Osgood-Schlatter Disease’ however this is the beauty of this excitingly novel publication. It will prove of value to established paediatricians, doctors in training from many backgrounds as well as to aspiring paediatricians. `The Unofficial Guide to Paediatrics’ is a wonderful compilation of a systems-based approach to a challenging subject matter, with something of interest for everyone. From the `sharp end’ of the complexities of adolescent medicine to the pragmatism of pursuing a career in paediatrics this volume is beautifully illustrated and well-referenced and contains a wealth of knowledge and experience from a range of contributors who clearly appreciate what life is like on the front line of paediatric practice. This book will complement the current drive towards peer learning, encompassing the ability to embed evidence-based practice in real life context as part of a wider community of learners. Zeshan and his team have delivered something which will act as a catalyst for learning and a wonderful aide memoire which puts knowledge back in the hands of those who aspire to deliver the best care to children and their families. Many congratulations on this first edition – it certainly will not be the last!” Dr Andrew Long MA FRCP FRCPCH FHEA FAcadMEd. Vice President (Education), RCPCH.

The reviews from current practicing senior clinicians clearly support this wonderful approach by the future leaders of our speciality, who have all taken this chance to shine – if you want to, are, or used to work in paediatrics and child health then get a copy!' Dr Joe Brierley. Consultant Critical Care & Bioethics. Great Ormond St Hospital for Children, London. Medical President European Society of Paediatric & Neonatal Intensive Care “It’s always difficult to grasp what’s important when you’re approaching a subject like paediatrics. The Unofficial Guide to Paediatrics is smart because it tries to combine speciality-specific knowledge with the experience of practitioners at all levels and - most importantly - the duty of care and advocacy for children. Throughout the book, the emphasis is on how one might best approach children and adolescents presenting for care, and in the involvement of the paediatrician in a team.” Professor David Osrin.

Consultant Paediatrician, Kings College NHS Foundation Trust, Senior Lecturer Kings College London (Course Director, MSc in Advanced Paediatrics), Training Programme Director “Paediatrics is a `big’ topic about `little’ people. It is intellectually challenging and an exciting field for research and learning, but it can also be daunting when medical school is often set up to focus on adult medicine. Caring for children is different – both in a purely scientific sense, but also the way a sick child and their family should be approached, the dynamic of the hospital and multidisciplinary team, the ethical and sociocultural considerations involved, and even the career pathways that present are unique – all of which are covered in this book. `The Unofficial Guide to Paediatrics’ features an easy-to-read overview of paediatrics, broken down by systems. Each chapter describes core conditions by beginning with aetiology and clinical features, and progresses through investigations, differential diagnoses, management, complications, and finally prognosis. Furthermore, this book covers history taking, examination, communication, and practical skills – all supplemented with clinical cases, labelled diagrams, and information about common examinations and assessment criteria. The authors have also provided illustrations of common procedures and medical devices in clinical practice. In the wonderful world of paediatrics, this is a wonderful resource for students, junior doctors, and paediatric trainees alike - or anyone looking for a simple and reliable complement to learning from the literature and clinical encounter. The development and success of this has been no child’s play - one might even say, it’s a milestone of an achievement! “ Beryl Lin. President University of New South Wales Medical Society. Co-chair University of New South Wales Paediatrics Special Interest Group. “The first edition of the 'Unofficial Guide to Paediatrics' is a delight. It is a new kind of paediatrics textbook for a new generation of students and professionals learning about child health and clinical paediatrics. Its quality will ensure its position alongside the very best resources available for supporting those trying to improve health care for children worldwide.” Dr Dan Magnus. Consultant Paediatric Emergency Medicine, Bristol Royal Hospital for Children International Child Health Group Convenor, RCPCH “A thorough and beautifully written textbook, covering a broad range of topics on child health without compromising on detail, evidence and nuance. Highly recommended for anyone who works in healthcare for children and young people.” Dr Ronny Cheung. Consultant in General Paediatrics. Evelina Children's Hospital, UK “The unofficial guide to paediatrics is a fantastic resource for medical students and paediatric health professionals. It is system-based, clear and easy to follow, beautifully illustrated and incredibly practical. Its a great resource for front-line paediatricians, with chapters on practical skills, communicating with children and families and becoming a paediatrician. It also contains a wealth of real-life clinical cases and multiple-choice examinations that will be useful to those studying for undergraduate and postgraduate examinations. Congratulations to the team that wrote it.” Dr Benita Morrissey. Consultant Paediatrician. Undergraduate Lead for Paediatrics, Queen Mary University, London. “Paediatrics is meant to be fun and so is this book. It is beautifully illustrated and both succinct and practical . It should help the early postgraduate to navigate their way through the early years of paediatric practice with confidence and joy” Professor Mitch Blair. Professor of Paediatrics and Child Public Health.

Extensive use of tables and Figures facilitates rapid learning and provides an excellent quick reference particularly for students.

Book Synopsis'Heart-wrenching, heart-warming and heartfelt - Mother Ship is a beautifully crafted, warts-and-all love letter to our wonderful NHS' Adam Kay, author of This is Going to Hurt After her identical twin girls are born ten weeks prematurely, Francesca Segal finds herself sitting vigil in the 'mother ship' of neonatal intensive care, all romantic expectations of new parenthood obliterated.As each day brings a fresh challenge for her and her babies, Francesca makes a temporary life among a band of mothers who are vivid, fearless, and inspiring, taking care not only of their children but of one another.Mother Ship is a hymn to the sustaining power of women's friendships, and a loving celebration of the two small girls - and their mother - who defy the odds. A comforting and encouraging read, especially for others enduring the same experience. 'A heart-wrenching insight into what must have been such a fragile, overwhelming and terrifying time - yet there's humour in there too. Beautiful' Giovanna Fletcher 'A beautiful, lyrical memoir that navigates the unpredictable landscape of NICU and the will to survive' Christie Watson, author of The Language of KindnessTrade ReviewA heart-wrenching insight into what must have been such a fragile, overwhelming and terrifying time - yet there’s humour in there too. Beautiful * Giovanna Fletcher *[Segal] writes with delicate eloquence, combining passion and comic understatement so deftly that this feels the only way the book could have been written… I don’t think I’ve turned the pages so urgently in a book about motherhood before -- Lara Feigal * Guardian *A beautiful memoir: wise, moving and profoundly humane. Segal writes with such exquisite clarity that each word is a gift, each sentence a votive offering. Mother Ship moved me to tears, but it also taught me the unassailable power of decency and kindness when life is at its most fragile and vulnerable. A book that left me changed for having read it * Elizabeth Day *As gripping as a thriller and as moving as a love story -- Amanda Craig * Spectator *A compelling and emotionally taut exploration of what it means to be a parent in unexpected and challenging circumstances... The pages of Mother Ship are filled with love, anguish, despair and hope in the face of adversity. As a memoir, it is both insightful and moving; as a diary of 56 days in neonatal care, it is an exquisitely written paean to motherhood -- Hannah Beckerman * Observer *

Book SynopsisLike a treasure chest, this resource overflows with valuable resources - information, ideas and techniques to inspire and support those working with children who have experienced relational and developmental trauma. Drawing on a range of therapeutic models including systemic, psychodynamic, trauma, sensory, neurobiological, neurocognitive, attachment, cognitive behavioural, and creative ideas, Dr Karen Treisman explains how we understand trauma and its impact on children, teens and their families. She details how it can be seen in symptoms such as nightmares, sleeping difficulties, emotional dysregulation, rage, and outbursts. Theory and strategies are accompanied by a treasure trove of practical, creative, and ready-to-use resources including over 100 illustrated worksheets and handouts, top tips, recommended sample questions, and photographed examples.Trade ReviewWhen we lift the lid on a child's trauma it can feel overwhelming and impossible to address. Dr Karen Treisman's accessible, insightful and resource laden book will change this for ever for every practitioner, therapist, parent and carer and the precious children they support. -- Jane Evans, Childhood Trauma & Parenting Expert, author of Cyril Squirrel Finds Out About Love and How Are You Feeling Today Baby Bear?Children are doers more than they are talkers, and when we join them in doing, we find we are able to discover the story at the child's pace. Dr Treisman has given us a wonderful book to help us to do this. Full of ideas, exercises and compassionate ways of joining with children to fully discover who they are, and to help them to manage difficulties that they are experiencing. This is grounded in the best of what we know about relational trauma. This book will enhance the most creative of us, and be a rich resource for those of us who doubt our own creativity. It will give all of us ways to go slower, to help children to feel safe enough to reveal their own story, and to find the confidence to allow us to share this story with their safe parents. Now healing can begin. My treasure box is certainly richer for having this book on my shelf. -- Dr. Kim S. Golding, Clinical Psychologist and authorAs a Treasure Box, Treisman has created exactly what it says on the tin. Embedded in the relational world of development, this book takes us on a journey of thoughtful, sensitive, creative and deeply moving interventions. The lives and minds of children and young people can only be enriched if we embed this magic in our work. -- John Simmonds, OBE, Director of Policy, Research and Development at CoramBAAF, LondonThis book is an extraordinary achievement. It is packed with myriad, tools, methods and suggestions that will be indispensable to therapists, parents and anyone working with traumatised kids. Most importantly, the book's simplicity is deceptive as every page is built on the firm foundations of the latest science and a deep understanding of the effects of developmental trauma. I predict this will be a book that trauma therapists will be scared to leave home without. -- Dr. Graham Music, Consultant Psychotherapist, Tavistock Clinic and author of Nurturing NaturesRelational trauma requires relational repair' says Dr Treisman throughout her book and it's a mantra worth repeating. Her book explains what relational repair really involves, from creating safety and regulation, to exploring complex and layered emotions to tackling rage and sleep disturbances. It is packed with ideas and materials to guide and support therapeutic conversations, much of which could be used by therapeutic parents. What I especially love is the combination of compassion both for child and parent and its insistence on a sound, scientific approach. The pictures, the pebbles, the glue and the glitter are all set within a robust trauma-informed framework that reflect the emotional complexity of building a meaningful relationship with a traumatised child. For those who labour at the coalface of relational repair, it is a nourishing read that will top up your therapeutic tank and make you feel just that little bit more encouraged and cherished and perhaps even vindicated. It deserves to be widely read by all those involved in supporting the healing of relationally traumatised children from commissioners, policy makers and academics right up to foster carers and adoptive parents. -- Sally Donovan OBE, editor for Adoption UK and author of 'No Matter What' and 'The Unofficial Guide to Adoptive Parenting'Are you working with traumatized children? Karen Treisman's book is a MUST read! -- Liana Lowenstein MSW, RSW, CPT-S, Registered Clinical Social Worker, Certified Play Therapist-Supervisor and Certified TF-CBT TherapistThis book is truly a treasure trove of ideas, resources, illustrations, and practical photocopiable worksheets. It is written in an accessible, engaging, and practitioner friendly way, with a real focus on the "how to". It combines the latest trauma, neuroscience, sensory, and attachment theories and then describes how to intervene with children in an engaging, creative, and multi-sensory way. The mantra of the book is "relational trauma requires relational repair"; and this ethos echoes throughout the entire book. The book covers the whole spectrum needing to be addressed in a developmental trauma context, from assessment, to strengths and resilience, to self-care, to specific presentations such as outbursts and nightmares; through to endings and goodbyes. This book is a MUST HAVE for mental health practitioners working with traumatized children. In fact, this is the best mental health book I have read in 2017! -- Liana LowensteinOverflowing with creative ideas and activities, the thing that makes this resource especially valuable is its sensitivity to the ever-present need for safe containment when using intervention. The author gently prompts our awareness of how creative ways of working can provide safe access to the treasures within, for the children so often hardest to reach. Logically organised and indexed, each section is held together by well-written, informative insights. -- Lisa Nel * BACP - Children, Young people & families *Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisBoarding School Syndrome is an analysis of the trauma of the 'privileged' child sent to boarding school at a young age. Innovative and challenging, Joy Schaverien offers a psychological analysis of the long-established British and colonial preparatory and public boarding school tradition. Richly illustrated with pictures and the narratives of adult ex-boarders in psychotherapy, the book demonstrates how some forms of enduring distress in adult life may be traced back to the early losses of home and family. Developed from clinical research and informed by attachment and child development theories âBoarding School Syndromeâ is a new term that offers a theoretical framework on which the psychotherapeutic treatment of ex-boarders may build. Divided into four parts, History: In the Name of Privilege; Exile and Healing; Broken Attachments: A Hidden Trauma, and The Boarding School Body, the book includes vivid case studies of ex-boarders in psychotherapy. Their accouTrade Review"Therapists of all persuasions have been eagerly awaiting Joy Schaverien’s book on Boarding School Syndrome. The political, cultural and social significance of individuals that attended such schools is obvious, and the book is a deep contribution to an important public conversation. Yet it is also a compassionate clinical approach to the suffering of such ‘privileged’ people of both sexes. This beautifully written, lucid and clinically revelatory book is relevant to work with all clients and patients who have been ‘looked after’ right across the social spectrum – and maybe even to those who have not. A must read work that is going to spark intense discussion within the field – and outside the clinical world as well." - Andrew Samuels, Professor of Analytical Psychology, University of Essex"In this thoughtful and sensitive analysis, Professor Schaverien skilfully adapts a qualitative clinical research approach to explore the inner world of trauma of the boarding school child, occasioned by too early a rupture of the attachment bond with the mother, and the potentially damaging developmental trajectory brought about by being abandoned into the ‘privileged’ world of boarding school. Schaverien’s exceptional book cogently challenges long held assumptions concerning the value of such an education. She incorporates some of the best of current neurobiological and trauma research to explore the pain and distress of parents as well as child and to offer clinicians valuable insights into the process of healing the minds of adult patients damaged by ‘boarding school syndrome’." - Margaret Wilkinson, Training Analyst, The Society of Analytical Psychology, London. Author of Coming into Mind (Routledge, 2006) and Changing Minds in Therapy (Norton, 2010)."I came across Schaverien’s work several years ago in the British Journal of Psychotherapy, so was pleased she has explored this phenomenon at length. The book is impressively well researched, acknowledging others’ work and suggesting areas for further research. Highly readable… its content is compelling and poignant. I highly recommend it, to substantially raise awareness of this particular kind of trauma and to ensure it is not overlooked." – Roslyn Byfield, Private Practice"In this excellent book a convincing case is given for the harmful effects of being sent to any boarding school, resulting in what Schaverien has identified as 'boarding school syndrome'... A strength of this book is the effective use of examples to illustrate, illuminate and make the generalisations meaningful... [The] most significant are case studies from her own practice... As well as an overriding psychodynamic theoretical framework, Schaverien uses various other theories and, in combination, these raise the level of the book from description to deep analysis... Schaverien leaves it to the reader to draw conclusions about what it means when all these emotionally wounded ex-boarders fill so many powerful posts in UK Society... I would guess that ex-boarders are likely to be over-represented amongst a psychotherapist's clients. For a British psychotherapist, that is another reason to read this book." – Dr. Nicholas Houghton, artist and university art education teacher, Contemporary Psychotherapy"…Schaverien, a Jungian psychoanalyst, did not go to boarding school: it was as a practitioner that she became intrigued, noting how often boarding school featured in the past of surprising numbers of her patients. That makes her book – an academic work, academically priced, though a gripping read – all the more important…Schaverien brings a clear eye and the experience of 25 years of collecting data to an issue that should concern everyone worried about how children fare in professional care – which, of course, is what boarding school is." – Alex Renton, the Observer "Therapists of all persuasions have been eagerly awaiting Joy Schaverien’s book on Boarding School Syndrome. The political, cultural and social significance of individuals that attended such schools is obvious, and the book is a deep contribution to an important public conversation. Yet it is also a compassionate clinical approach to the suffering of such ‘privileged’ people of both sexes.

Author of Coming into Mind (Routledge, 2006) and Changing Minds in Therapy (Norton, 2010)."Besides focusing on individuals, Schaverien discusses the wider sociopolitical repercussions of the permeation of our ruling class by the products of boarding school education... Although many of the stories are from men, women's voices are also included, shedding light on their future roles as wives and mothers...This book is impressively well researched, acknowledging others' work and suggesting areas for further research. Highly readable (a quality not always found in psychoanalytic texts), its content is compelling and poignant. I highly recommend it, to substantially raise awareness of this particular kind of trauma and to ensure it is not overlooked." – Roslyn Byfield, private practice, UK, Private Practice"...this brave, honest, and helpful, though disturbing, bookshould be on the shelves of any psychotherapist who wants to understand and helpheal the psychological perils of boarding." – Simon Partridge, Attachment: New Directions in Psychotherapy and Relational Psychoanalysis "There's an aggrieved generation of angry parents whose bible is Boarding School Syndrome, Joy Schaverien's searing account of the damage done by that system..." - Tibbs Jenkins, GraziaTable of ContentsList of Figures.

Book SynopsisParents can play a strong role in helping their children overcome anxiety disorders--given the right tools. This innovative, research-based book shows clinicians how to teach parents cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to use with their 5- to 12-year-old. Session-by-session guidelines are provided for giving parents the skills to promote children's flexible thinking and independent problem solving, help them face specific fears, and tackle accompanying difficulties, such as sleep problems and school refusal. User-friendly features include illustrative case studies, sample scripts, advice on combining face-to-face sessions with telephone support, and pointers for overcoming roadblocks. Several parent handouts can be downloaded and printed in a convenient 8 1/2 x 11 size.Trade Review"This book fills an important gap by helping therapists to empower parents with the skills and confidence to help their anxious child. Creswell and her coauthors give us a science-based, engaging, extremely practical book that is underpinned by years of experience. Detailed exercises and case examples ensure that any therapist will deliver consistent results. The strategies in this book will change the lives of children with anxiety disorders and their families."--Ronald M. Rapee, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Psychology and founding director, Center for Emotional Health, Macquarie University, Australia "Creswell et al. have harnessed their collective talent and considerable clinical experience in this eminently readable, highly useful guide. Unlike most treatments for anxious children--which are directed primarily, if not exclusively, to the children themselves--this approach is oriented toward the parents. By actively and collaboratively engaging the parents, the clinician can bypass many barriers to effective treatment with children. The approach is developmentally sensitive, contextually informed, evidence based, and low intensity (four of the eight sessions can be conducted by telephone). This is an impressive book with considerable potential."--Thomas H. Ollendick, PhD, ABPP, University Distinguished Professor, Department of Psychology, Virginia Tech "Creswell and colleagues present an efficient and effective CBT-based program that enables parents to help their children overcome the distress and functional impairment associated with problematic anxiety. Clearly written and well organized, this book guides providers at all levels through each step of the treatment process, from the initial assessment through relapse prevention. It contains a multitude of useful charts, figures, and case examples."--John C. Piacentini, PhD, ABPP, Director, Childhood OCD, Anxiety, and Tic Disorders Program, UCLA Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior "A succinct, incredibly practical, and well-written book. Therapists get knowledge and tools for working effectively with parents of children struggling with anxiety. I hope that many parents have the opportunity to experience this empowering approach."--Wendy K. Silverman, PhD, ABPP, Alfred A. Messer Professor of Child Psychiatry and Director, Anxiety and Mood Disorders Program, Child Study Center, Yale University School of Medicine "When I teach Introduction to Child and Family Therapy, one of the first questions that comes up is how to work with parents. This book is the best resource for students seeking answers to this question. It is so clear, scientifically grounded, and clinically useful that I strongly recommend it as a supplemental text and a resource for clinicians at all levels. Teaching parents how to implement the skills that therapists have been studying for years will expand the reach of our efforts with anxious children, and, most probably, will improve our outcomes."--Eduardo L. Bunge, PhD, Clinical Psychology PhD Program, Palo Alto University "I can't wait to use this book in my practice with parents! The authors present a clear, step-by-step, evidence-based guide for therapists. With this book, practitioners can teach parents (who often believe erroneously that reassuring their anxious child will help) to foster their child’s independence, 'curiosity' about his or her worries, and testing of possible solutions. Parents will see their children gain perspective, mastery, and confidence as their fears decrease."--Cynthia G.

Book SynopsisA quick, non-invasive, non-intrusive and cost-effective method with high reliability and high validity is much in demand for the early detection of neurological anomalies which point to cerebral palsy and developmental deficits later on in life. Over his years as a distinguished developmental neurologist, Heinz Prechtl has devised such a method; a qualitative assessment of general movements (GMs) as a specific predictor for neurological impairments. His method is described in this book. GMs form part of a distinct pattern of movements in preterm babies, term newborns and young infants. They are complex, frequent, and usually of sufficient length. Changes in the normal quality of GMs are a reliable indicator of brain dysfunction. Includes a CD-ROM giving 15 cases selected from the book. Each is of about one minute in duration and demonstrates the different age-specific movement patterns.Table of ContentsAuthors' appointments; Introduction: how it all came about; 1. Basic concepts of developmental neurology; 2. What are spontaneous movements?; 3. How to record and assess general movements?; 4. What could interfere with the quality of movements?; 5. How objective, reliable and valid is the general movement assessment?; 6. The clinical application of the method; 7. Quantitative assessment is an insensitive indicator of an impaired integrity of the nervous system; 8. Brain ultrasound and general movement assessment; 9. Neurological examination and general movement assessment; 10. What other methods of general movement exist?; Epilogue; References; Index.

Book SynopsisMichel Odent, the leading pioneer for natural childbirth, indicates that the period between conception and a child's first birthday is critical to life-long health. In this prophetic book - first published in 1986 and reproduced here in its original form - he argues that different parts of the 'primal adaptive system' develop, regulate and adjust themselves during foetal life and the time around birth and infancy. 'Everything which happens during this period of dependence on the mother has an influence on this basic state of health, this primal health.' He suggests that the later well-being of adults, their ability to withstand the 'diseases of civilization' such as hypertension, cancer, alcoholism and failures of the immune system resulting in AIDS, allergies and viral diseases, can all be traced back to society's ignorance of the vital importance of the primal period. Since the first edition of this groundbreaking work, research has continued apace, offering further evidence to substantiate Odent's ideas. In the important new "Introduction and Postscript", the author reviews recent developments and relates them to the central themes of Primal Health. This book is essential reading for all who care about the health of our children and the ongoing health of society as a whole.Trade Review'Michel Odent asks the fundamental question that is often avoided: What is health? If you don't find it easy to come up with an answer - and especially if you do - read this book. It is brilliant!' - Sheila Kitzinger, author of Rediscovering Birth and Birth Your Way

Book SynopsisAbout our author Jacqueline Bauman-Waengler has been a professor for more than 25 years. Her main teaching and clinical emphases are phonetics and phonology, including disorders of articulation and phonology in children and child language disorders. She has published and presented widely in these areas both nationally and internationally. In addition to the 6th Edition of Articulation and Phonology in Speech Sound Disorders: A Clinical Focus, Professor Bauman-Waengler has also published Introduction to Phonetics and Phonology: From Concepts to Transcription (2009) with Pearson.Trade Review“This work is more thorough and clinically oriented than other texts on the topic. I believe this is a text that every graduate student will keep in their library for the rest of their practice. The text provides practice clinical scenarios that are not available in other texts and clinical worksheets for students. The theories that other texts cover are included here but more detail is provided in this text. The author also includes more information on vowels than other texts… including development, assessment and remediation of errors. I am very impressed by the current information available in this text on apraxia of speech and the inclusion of information about pan Asian language, Spanish dialects and recent information about remediating phonological disorders…. I would definitely adopt this text.” – Christine Fiestas, Texas A&M-Kingsville “This chapter [“Therapy for Articulation-Based Speech Sound Errors”] is an excellent resource for students and practicing clinicians. It is the primary reason why I use this book and strongly recommend that students who think they might end up working with children keep the book. The amount of useful detail regarding the individual phonemes is invaluable.” –Tim Brackenbury, Bowling Green State University “I think the organization of this book is great and easy to read. I think the presence of all the clinical applications and the test questions at the end of the chapter is great. The more practice with examples the better.” – Carol Tessel, Florida Atlantic University “The text is comprehensive, clearly written and well organized; The clinical examples are well done-The video links with related questions will be valuable to students.” – Maria Grigos, New York University “I like how the beginning of this chapter [“Therapy for Articulation-Based Speech Sound Errors”] is structured, with good advice and tips for each stage in the articulation-based approach. The in-depth discussion of how both correct and incorrect productions are made is a major strength of this textbook…. The chapter [“Treatment of Phonemic-Based Speech Sound Disorders”] provides an excellent overview of a large number of phonological therapy techniques.” –Peter Richtsmeier, Oklahoma State UniversityTable of ContentsBrief Contents Clinical Framework: Basic Terms and Concepts Articulatory Phonetics: Speech Sound Form Phonetic Transcription and Diacritics Theoretical Considerations and Practical Applications Normal Phonological Development Assessment and Appraisal: Collection of Data Summarizing Data and Classifying Speech Sound Disorders Dialects and English as a Second Language Therapy for Articulation Disorders: Obtaining and Accurate Production of a Speech Sound Treatment of Phonological Disorders Speech Sound Disorders in Selected Populations

Book SynopsisOne in 70 children are admitted to paediatric intensive care (PIC) at some time during childhood. Most paediatric junior doctors will rotate through PIC, and will be involved in organising acute intensive care for critically ill children. The range of children and their illnesses going through PIC is vast, making it a hugely diverse specialty. A critically ill child will end up there regardless of their underlying disease, and as a result consultants in PIC must be true generalists and need to acquire knowledge and skills in all areas of paediatrics, as well as acquiring significant knowledge of anaesthesia and surgery. From setting up the ventilator, to managing low cardiac output, Paediatric Intensive Care gives practical and realistic advice for children''s doctors and nurses in intensive care. Information is presented in easily-accessible ''5 minute chunks'' to enable you to quickly get the answers you need, with extensive cross-referencing ensuring that different aspects of a particular clinical problem are fully covered. With detailed answers to specific problems and expert guidance on how to manage the complex issues faced in PIC, this handbook is an indispensible guide for all those who provide care to sick children.Trade ReviewThis very condensed but detailed handbook describes in its 43 chapters the anatomy, pathophysiology and treatment of conditions necessitating intensive medical care in neonates, infants and children... As the editors write this book is not just for intensivists, but should help also paediatric clinicians. * Inbar Kushnir, Editorial Manager; PER Volume 15 no.2 *Table of ContentsGENERAL INTRODUCTION TO PAEDIATRIC INTENSIVE CARE; ORGAN SYSTEM SUPPORT AND RELATED PRACTICAL PROCEDURES; SPECIFIC SPECIALTIES; COMPASSIONATE AND FAMILY-ORIENTATED CARE
