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.

The Orchid and the Dandelion absorbed me like a novel. -- Psychology TodayA skilled pediatrician, a gifted scientist, and a lucid writer.

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 Synopsis*Previously published as The Deepest Well*‘Finally after thirty years, I finally understood . . . this book holds the answers you’ve been searching for.’ Kerry HudsonThe Surgeon General of California reveals pioneering research on how childhood stress leads to lifelong health problems and what we can do to break the cycle.Perfect for fans of The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk, this eye-opening book includes a free Adverse Childhood Experience test and looks at the widespread crisis of trauma and childhood adversity through the objective lens of science and medicine, providing a roadmap for deeper understanding and change. It is vital now more than ever, as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic, that we find a way to address, understand and heal trauma.Two thirds of us have experienced at least one adverse childhood experience, from the likes of bereavement and divorce to abuse and neglect. In Toxic Childhood Stress Dr Burke Harris reveals the science behind childhood adversity and offers a new way of understanding the adverse events that affect us throughout our lifetime. Based on her own groundbreaking clinical work and public leadership, Dr Burke Harris shows us how we can disrupt this cycle through interventions that help retrain the brain and body, foster resilience, and help children, families, and adults live healthier, happier lives.When a young boy walked into Dr Nadine Burke Harris's clinic he looked healthy for a preschooler. But he was seven, and hadn't grown a centimetre since a traumatic event when he was four. At that moment Dr Burke Harris knew that her gut feeling about a connection between childhood stress and future ill health was more than just a hunch – and she began her journey into groundbreaking research with stunning results.Trade ReviewOffers a powerful - even indispensable - frame to both understand and respond more effectively to our most serious social ills. -- New York Times A heart-breaking, world-shaking, revolutionary book. The Deepest Well uncovers offers a new set of tools, based in science, that can help each of us heal ourselves, our children, and our world. -- Paul Tough, author of New York Times Best Seller How Children SucceedNadine Burke-Harris is one of the most important thinkers in the world.

It saved me. This book has the power to extend that hand to countless others. -- Ashley Judd, actress, political activist and author of All That is Bitter and Sweet This powerful work book brilliantly exposes and explores one of the most critical health issues we face today. Dr Burke-Harris combines a scientist's rigor with a compassionate doctor's heart to paint an unforgettable picture of what is at the center of what ails so many of our communities. -- Bryan Stevenson, author of Just Mercy An extraordinary, eye-opening book. -- People, Book of the WeekThe Deepest Well is a rousing wake-up call, challenging us to re-imagine pressing questions of racial and social justice as matters of public health. The research and stories shared in this highly engaging, provocative book prove beyond a reasonable doubt that millions of lives depend on us finally coming to terms with the long-term consequences of childhood adversity and toxic stress. -- Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow The Deepest Well is more than a riveting medical story - it’s a must-read guide for recognizing, understanding and treating a condition that many will find in our own homes. -- BookPage This important and compassionate book further sounds the alarm over childhood trauma - and what can be done to remedy its effects. -- Kirkus, starred review

Book SynopsisNonverbal interactions are applied to trauma treatment for more effective results.Trade Review"Chapman writes convincingly about her treatment models. . . . [H]elpful to clinicians and aspiring practitioners. And, luckily, for those of us who simply want to learn something new about trauma or therapy, it’s written in a way that’s easy to understand even for non-professional readers." -- PsychCentral"I could not put this book down! This is a must-read volume that will deepen and enrich clinical understanding and greatly enhance clinical assistance to the many victims of trauma. A thoughtful, careful, well-informed clinician, Linda Chapman integrates science and her professional experience to explain the 'why's' of positive outcomes through expressive therapies and the models she has developed for addressing acute and chronic trauma. As she weaves together research data and accessible practice interventions, Chapman’s dedication to helping trauma survivors shines through in each page. I learned so much and can't wait to implement her models with my patients." -- Eliana Gil, PhD, Founder, Gil Institute for Trauma Recovery and Education; Director, Starbright Training Institute for Child and Family Play Therapy; Past President, Association for Play Therapy"This book is packed with clinical wisdom, scholarship, case studies, and detailed neurodevelopment correlates of relational trauma that illustrate the effective use of Chapman’s Art Therapy Treatment Intervention. The author makes an irrefutable case for art therapy’s place in the treatment of PTSD, acute and chronic trauma, and abuse in infants, children, and adolescents. A must-read and an inspiring contribution." -- George Halasz, MD, Adjunct Senior Lecturer, School of Psychology and Psychiatry, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia"In this well-researched book, Linda Chapman articulates a neurobiological understanding of trauma and a theoretically grounded model for the treatment of children and adolescents. Chapman uses moving case examples to illustrate how art can bypass left-brain activity and utilize regions of the brain where traumatic memories are stored. She describes how brain processing affects therapy at different stages, providing depth and clarity. Her style of working is informed, intuitive, theoretically grounded, and relational. This book is a long-awaited contribution to the field." -- Gussie Klorer, PhD, ATR-BC, HLM, LCPC, LCSW, Professor Art Therapy Counseling Program, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville; author of Expressive Therapy with Troubled Children"Imparting clinical wisdom derived from decades of practice as an art therapist with acutely and chronically traumatized children and youth, Linda Chapman presents detailed case examples in a down-to-earth, conversational style, demonstrating the careful, thoughtful, developmentally informed formulations underlying her interventions. This book is essential reading for child and adolescent therapists of all disciplines, supporting the importance of interventions which privilege the non-verbal aspects of therapeutic communication." -- Susan C. Warshaw, EdD, ABPP, Board Certified in Psychoanalysis, Licensed Psychologist; Editor-In-Chief, Journal of Infant, Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy"Drawing upon her extensive clinical experience as an art therapist, Linda Chapman has created a wonderful translational work. It is a major challenge but essential to bring complex neurobiological concepts into clinical practice, in order for our field to move forward and optimally help patients. The tightrope between neuroscientific jargon and distorting oversimplifications of translational implementation is hard to walk, but Linda Chapman does it with grace and respect. Highly recommended for anyone working with traumatized children and youth." -- Bruce D. Perry, MD, PhD, Senior Fellow, The ChildTrauma Academy; Adjunct Professor, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University

Book SynopsisChanging the parent-child dynamic to improve anxiety symptoms.Trade Review"What loving parent would not want to end the suffering of their child? Yet anxiety will run roughshod over families, taking advantage of responses that, on the surface, seem so caring. By the time they arrive in treatment, parents feel helpless and exhausted, while the worried child has become dependent on reassurance and overprotection. McCurry expertly elucidates for readers the tactics of therapeutic change that will stabilize the family system, empower the parents, and foster resilience in the child." -- Reid Wilson, PhD, co-author Anxious Kids, Anxious Parents: Seven Ways to Stop the Worry Cycle and Raise Courageous and Independent Children "Work with parents of anxious children is becoming richer and more nuanced as practitioners used to doing parent training, communication skills work, and traditional cognitive behavior therapy begin to use acceptance and mindfulness-based therapies as well. This wise and well-written volume will help provide that sense of nuance and balance. It is not a treatment protocol, nor is it dedicated to any one approach; it is a guidebook, helping you to use your existing skills in more sophisticated ways and to learn new skills and approaches without having to abandon what you already know. Highly recommended." -- Steven C. Hayes, PhD, Co-developer of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and author of Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life "This book is an incredibly valuable resource for every clinician working with anxious children and their parents. McCurry expertly integrates evocative clinical vignettes with a sophisticated, yet easily understood, biopsychosocial model. He explains the negative parent-child interactions so common in the families of anxious youth and provides an elegant and effective therapeutic approach for enhancing family communication and resolving conflict. Drawing from the cognitive-behavioral, functional analytic, acceptance, and mindfulness literatures, this book provides clear guidance and an abundance of clinical "pearls" for teaching parents how to create a healthy and resilient home environment." -- John Piacentini, PhD, ABPP, President, Society for Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, Director, Child OCD, Anxiety, and Tic Disorders Program, UCLA Semel Institute

Book SynopsisWritten in a unique and innovative style, this book presents pediatric surgery in an interactive clinical context. Each chapter is built upon a specific disease or group of diseases, beginning with a typical case, presented interactively, just as it would be in encountered in clinical practice. These are actual cases that have been encountered by the author and are likely to be managed on any pediatric surgical service. The discussion that follows presents the most relevant issues pertaining to the topic, drawing on the index case, as well as multiple other cases that depict the entire spectrum of the disease or anomaly. The carefully selected suggested readings emphasize sentinel papers, high-quality reviews, and the best and most recent evidence published on the subject. A large number of illustrations help bring the clinical concepts to light. A number of high-quality videos provide a dynamic atlas of common procedures. The book is  useful to the entire range of pediatrTrade Review ‘It is a fine read and a great resource and a testament to the intellect and knowledge of a great general paediatric surgeon.’—Mark Davenport, Kings College Hospital ‘It is well written and well illustrated and for those people who desire a high quality and relevant paediatric surgery book then this is well worth looking at.’—Dr Harry Brown, published by Glycosmedia'This is an excellent addition to the pediatric surgery library.

Book SynopsisDepressive disorders, which include major depressive disorder (unipolar depression), dysthymic disorder (chronic, mild depression), and bipolar disorder (manic-depression), can have far reaching effects on the functioning and adjustment of young people. Among both children and adolescents, depressive disorders confer an increased risk for illness and interpersonal and psychosocial difficulties that persist long after the depressive episode is resolved; in adolescents there is also an increased risk for substance abuse and suicidal behaviour. Unfortunately, these disorders often go unrecognised by families and physicians alike. Signs of depressive disorders in young people often are viewed as normal mood swings typical of a particular developmental stage. In addition, health care professionals may be reluctant to prematurely "label" a young person with a mental illness diagnosis. Yet early diagnosis and treatment of depressive disorders are critical to healthy emotional, social, and behavioural development. This book presents the latest research in the field across a wide spectrum of countries.

Book SynopsisAs the series title implies each Clinician’s Desk Reference is a practical resource and a daily aid for physicians in the hospital setting and in primary care.Asthma is one of the most important chronic disorders in the developed world. Evidence from around the world shows the prevalence of asthma has increased considerably since 1975, and now affects around 7.2% of the world population (about 100 million individuals). In the UK asthma is now the most common chronic disease affecting all age groups with approximately 11% of the population being diagnosed as having asthma at some time in their lives.Understanding of the basic mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of asthma has improved dramatically over the past 20 years. Along with this increase in basic scientific knowledge, randomized clinical trials have produced evidence to guide clinicians in how to manage patients with asthma.The book covers epidemiology, diagnosis and management, and takes a look at future developments. The authors highlight the under diagnosis of occupational asthma and emphasize the importance of effective patient education, particularly asthma action plans. There are ten clinical cases dealing with common diagnostic and management problems, frequently asked questions and appendices containing resources for patients and clinicians including useful websites, information leaflets and major references.Trade ReviewChapters are well designed and the one on management of acute asthma in adults is extremely well done. The descriptions are thorough and complete. Clinical case examples are helpful for readers. Illustrations showing the metered-dose inhaler are useful for clinicians as well as for patients. The chapter on occupational asthma will be very helpful in day-to-day practice. The authors have written a simple guide and clinical reference for asthma. This easy to understand book will find its place on practitioners' desks. (5 stars)—K. P.

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?

Book SynopsisSugden and Wade, leading authors in this area, comprehensively cover motor development and motor impairment, drawing on sources in medicine and health-related studies, motor learning and developmental psychology. A theme that runs through the book is that movement outcomes are a complex transaction of child resources, the context in which movement takes place, and the manner in which tasks are presented. The core themes of the book involve descriptions of motor development from conception through to emerging adulthood, explanations of motor development from differing theoretical, empirical, and experiential perspectives, and descriptions and explanations of atypical motor development when the resources of the child are limited in some way. Readership: Occupational therapists, physiotherapists, paediatricians, teachers (physical education, early childhood development, elementary education), educational psychologists, kinesiology and sports scientists.Table of ContentsChapter 1: An Introduction to Motor Development Chapter 2: Biological Influences on Developmental Change Chapter 3: Developmental Models and Theories, Motor Control and Development Theories: Chapter 4: Early Movement Development: Birth to 24 Months Chapter 5: Motor Development of Young Children: Two to Seven Years of Age Chapter 6: A Movement Development of Young Children; Seven Years of Age through Puberty Chapter 7: Cerebral Palsy: The Condition Chapter 8: Developmental Co-ordination Disorder Chapter 9: Children with Intellectual Disability Chapter 10: Motor Development in Children with Other Developmental Disorders Chapter 11: Children with Visual Impairment Chapter 12: Assessment and Intervention for Children with Movement Difficulties Chapter 13: Perspectives on Development: Typical and Atypical

Book SynopsisMany people sincerely believe that all vaccines are safe, adverse reactions are rare, and no peer-reviewed scientific studies exist showing that vaccines can cause harm. This book — Miller's Review of Critical Vaccine Studies — provides the other side of the story that is not commonly told. It contains summaries of 400 important scientific papers to help parents and researchers enhance their understanding of vaccinations. "This book should be required reading for every doctor, medical student and parent. Reading this book will allow you to make better choices when considering vaccination." — David Brownstein, MD "This book is so precise and exciting in addressing the vaccine controversy that I read it in one evening. I recommend this book to any parent who has questions about vaccines and wants to be factually educated to make informed decisions." — Gabriel Cousens, MD "Neil Miller's book is a tour de force and a clarion voice championing the cautionary principle: 'When in doubt, minimize risk.' Let's talk science. Read this book. The truth will keep you and your children protected." — Bradford S. Weeks, MD "Nowhere else can one find such an organized and concise compilation of research on vaccines. Not only does Miller have a deep understanding of science and the issues at hand, he has made this book easy to reference and cite. Truly, there is no other guide out there quite like it. For everyone who contacts me in the future seeking scientific evidence about vaccines, I will recommend Miller 's Review of Critical Vaccine Studies." — Toni Bark, MD, MHEM, LEED AP , previous Director of the pediatric ER at Michael Reese Hospital "Miller's Review of Critical Vaccine Studies is the most comprehensive and coherent accumulation of peer-reviewed research on vaccine issues and natural immunity I have ever come across.

Book SynopsisCongenital or early-onset disorders of the nervous system have a profound and lifelong impact on the lives of children and their families. Diseases of the Nervous System in Childhood provides up-to-date information on the full range of these neurological disorders, from fetal and neonatal neurology to adolescence. Movement disorders, epilepsies and seizure disorders, metabolic diseases, auditory and visual disorders, and genetic anomalies are among the many topics covered in this text. Extensive reference lists at the end of each chapter guide the clinician to further relevant reading. This fourth edition retains the patient-focussed, clinical approach of its predecessors. The international team of editors and contributors has honoured the request of the late Jean Aicardi, that his book remain ‘resolutely clinical’, which distinguishes Diseases of the Nervous System in Childhood from other texts in the field. This edition: Is completely revised and updated Includes latest developments in genetic advances Contains new chapters on basal ganglia diseases and psychogenic disorders Has an easy-to-use one volume format with full-colour illustrations Table of ContentsJean Aicardi (1926–2015) Jean Aicardi: A Brief Curriculum Vitae About the Editors Authors’ Appointment Preface to Third Edition Preface to Fourth Edition Acknowledgements PART 1: FETAL AND NEONATAL NEUROLOGY 1.
