Book SynopsisECHO: A Vocal Language Program for Easing Anxiety in Conversation is for clinicians supporting individuals who may experience social anxiety related to speaking in specific situations, or with certain individuals. Anxiety has a negative impact on working memory, which can make it difficult for individuals to communicate with ease. With reduced experiences talking to a variety of people in various situations, speaking often becomes more challenging. The ECHO program was developed to build ease and comfort with social pragmatic communication, focusing on improving conversational skills for children from later elementary through teenage years. The program can be implemented by speech-language pathologists, psychologists, educators, and other facilitators (including parents), who support the needs of children and teens with selective mutism, stuttering, and those in need of social communication support. This unique intervention program combines methods of vocalization and verbalization to enhance conversational skills with role-play simulations for real-life application. There are three modules in the ECHO program that build upon each other: Module 1 uses interactive games to focus on vocal control, helping the child or teen learn how to initiate voice, modulate intonation and volume with greater ease, and produce classes of speech sounds in words and sentences. Module 2 provides targeted skills for the child or teen to use language for different purposes, change language for the listeners or situation, and follow rules for conversation and storytelling; all with online interactive games to become a more spontaneous communicator. Module 3 builds on the previous two modules by providing conversational role-plays which simulate real-life situations in school, at home, and in social and public settings. A cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) framework is applied to help reduce cognitive distortions. Key Features Three modules bridging the gap from vocalization to conversation The ECHO Checklist to identify communication needs Social Communication Skills Pragmatics Checklist The ARC model for understanding anxiety tolerance, rescue reduction, and communication confidence Thirty-five interactive games and activities with over 150 photos (online and printed) to help children and teens gain skills necessary to vocalize and engage in conversation A PluralPlus companion website with interactive activities for in-person and telepractice useTable of ContentsAcknowledgements Reviewers Introduction The ECHO Program Whom the ECHO Program Serves The Modules How to Initiate the ECHO Program Setup for Face-to-Face and Virtual Online Sessions Gathering Information Connections Between Social Anxiety and Communication The ARC Model - Generalizing Skills Anxiety Tolerance Rescue Reduction Communication Confidence Documentation and Progress References Module 1.

Book SynopsisDescribed by one surgeon as “soul-crushing, diamond-making stress,” surgery on congenital heart defects is arguably the most difficult of all surgical specialties. Drawing back the hospital curtain for a unique and captivating look at the extraordinary skill and dangerous politics of critical surgery in a pediatric heart center, Michael Ruhlman focuses on the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic, where a team of medical specialists—led by idiosyncratic virtuoso Dr. Roger Mee—work on the edge of disaster on a daily basis. Walk on Water offers a rare and dramatic glimpse into a world where the health of innocent children and the hopes of white-knuckled families rest in the hands of all-too-human doctors.

Book SynopsisTrauma can be defined as exposure to a shocking, distressing, or emotionally painful event that can result in negative mental and physical health effects. Due to its interference with development, childhood trauma is particularly detrimental and can result in symptoms including posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorders, depression, dissociation, externalizing behavioral problems, and suicidal ideation. It can increase the risk of substance use, school disengagement, and academic difficulties, and it has been associated with attentional impairment, cognitive performance, and the development of self-regulation. Cue-Centered Therapy for Youth Experiencing Posttraumatic Symptoms presents a psychosocial treatment approach for children and adolescents who have been exposed to chronic traumatic experiences. Cue-Centered Therapy (CCT) derives its name from its focus on the conditioning process that results in sensitivity towards trauma-related cues. CCT addresses four core domains: cognTrade Review"There is not just one way to perform psychotherapy for PTSD. Dr. Carrión shows us another path as a thoughtful clinician and a rigorous researcher. I particularly like his emphasis on education and clear writing of the manual with session-by-session structure." --Michael S.

Cue-Centered Therapy is special in making children the active agents of their own treatment, empowering the child to identify triggers and choose successful strategies to change the imprint of trauma on physiology, thought, feeling, and behavior.

Book SynopsisArguing that death is the central force shaping our social life and order, Michael Kearl draws on a wide variety of disciplines to provide a broad sociological perspective on the interrelationships of life and death. He shows how death contributes to social change, and how the meanings of death are generated to serve social functions.Working from a social as well as a psychological perspective, Kearl analyses traditional topics, including ageing, suicide, grief, and medical ethics. He also examines current issues such as the impact of the AIDS epidemic on social trust, governments'' use of death in symbolism, the business of death and dying, the political economy of doomsday weaponry, and death in popular culture.Trade Review'Michael Kearl's book should inject much-needed impetus to such academic reflection ... there is much of value in this textbook ... Kearl uses all the media available to him to lend substance to his arguments. Indeed it is this richness, together with the breadth of his inquiries, that lies at the heart of the text's strength ... written clearly and, most importantly, by someone who has obviously tried to convey many of the ideas verbally in classes and seminars. It is, consequently, both stimulating and readable.' Dr Tim Newburn, National Institute for Social Work, London, BJGC, Volume 21, No. 1, January 1993

Book SynopsisSelective Mutism (SM) is an impairing behavioral condition in which a child fails to speak in certain social situations despite speaking regularly and normally in other situations. SM presents a significant mental and public health problem due to impact on the social, emotional, and academic functioning of young children at a critical point in their development. SM is closely related to childhood social phobia, but it cannot be treated in the same way because of the young age of the children affected, their lack of speech in the treatment setting, and the need for significant school involvement in treatment.Treatment for Children with Selective Mutism outlines the sequence and essential elements to guide clinicians through a comprehensive, integrated program for young children who display symptoms of SM. This approach utilizes behavioral interventions targeting gradual increases in speaking across settings in which the child initially has difficulty. The integrated nature of the therapy refers to the goal of incorporating input from the clinician with that from the parents and teacher, as well as others impacted by the lack of speech. Exposure exercises are based on behavioral techniques such as stimulus fading, shaping, and systematic desensitization that also allow for a less intense or gradual exposure to the speaking situation. These techniques are combined and used flexibly with a behavioral reward system for participation in treatment. The approach was developed by Dr. R. Lindsey Bergman as part of the UCLA Childhood OCD, Anxiety, and Tic Disorders Program. The treatment protocol consists of 20 sessions, 60 minutes each, delivered over the course of 24 weeks.

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

Book SynopsisChronic pain is a significant health problem for many children and adolescents and is often challenging for healthcare professionals to treat. Estimated to affect approximately 15% to 30% of children, chronic and recurrent pain occurs most commonly in the pediatric population without clearly identifiable underlying physical etiology, such as pain associated with irritable bowel syndrome, headaches, musculoskeletal pain, or complex regional pain syndrome. Chronic or recurrent pain may also be associated with ongoing underlying medical conditions, such as arthritis, cancer, Crohn''s disease, or sickle cell disease. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Pain in Children and Adolescents provides a practical guide for implementing cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for children and their families coping with the consequences of persisting pain. The book is divided into three sections. The first section presents a brief history, theoretical foundations, and background concerning the develTrade Review"With that all too rare combination of extremely careful scholarship and very practical information, Dr. Palermo has provided the field with an excellent, much-needed, and comprehensive text containing state-of-the-art information about the etiology and treatment of chronic pain in children. Highly recommended!"-- Rona L. Levy, M.S.W., Ph.D., M.P.H., Professor and Director, Behavioral Medicine Research Group, University of Washington "This is a terrific book, comprehensive, evidence-based, and well-organized, with chapters ranging from the theoretical to the practical. Palermo treats the issue of pediatric pain with the intellectual rigor of a renowned scientist and the sensitivity of an experienced clinician. This book will be useful for pediatric psychologists as well as for the many other health care professionals - nurses, social workers, physicians, occupational therapists - who are integral to the care of youth with chronic pain. It will be an essential reference for a wide range of subspecialty clinics that treat youth with chronic pain in our Children's Hospital- gastroenterology, rheumatology, neurology, and adolescent medicine, to name a few."-- Lynn Walker, Professor of Pediatrics and Director of the Division of Adolescent Medicine, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine "At last! An evidence-based clinical handbook for pediatric pain management! Every pain clinician and trainee who works with children will want to have a copy on this book on their bookshelf." -- Christine Chambers, Ph.D., RPsych, Professor and Canada Research Chair, Dalhousie University & IWK Health Centre "Palermo's tour-de-force provides a superb 'soup to nuts' guide to the behavioral assessment and treatment of pediatric pain including research, clinical strategies, and helpful appendices full of charts, guides, and activities.

It is a comprehensive work which integrates analytic theories and concepts with a contemporary systems model of development and draws on scholarly research from neighboring fields.Trade ReviewIt has been decades since psychoanalysis has had an adequate textbook on child and adolescent development. Gilmore and Meersand have provided us with an excellent one that avoids the parochialism of traditional psychoanalytic texts, integrating the disparate schools that populate the modern day pluralistic world of psychoanalysis while also weaving in the relevant findings from cognitive and neuroscience.

Book SynopsisNeuroinfections presents 35 subjects, each with a different neurologic infectious or inflammatory disorder. A short vignette provides salient clinical symptoms and signs, laboratory studies, spinal fluid and imaging findings for each patient. A highly focused discussion leads the reader to the final diagnosis. Important features of the history, neurologic examination, findings on CSF and imaging are emphasized. There is no other book that provides a careful case description that includes all the neurologic features of 19 neurologic diseases produced by virus, as well as cases of bacterial meningitis and other infections produced by spirochetes, protozoans and prions, as well as inflammatory diseases of the nervous system of unknown etiology. A unique feature of the book is that every patient described is a real-time case that the author has seen or on whom he provided consultation. Anyone who reads every case in this book will know the essentials needed to diagnose and care for patientTrade ReviewThis is a useful, easy to read, 'charming' book highlighting the clinical presentation of common and not so common infections of the nervous system, written by one of the leaders in clinical and research neurovirology. By using the format of clinical vignettes the reader is immediately engaged and then is asked and told what to do next... Treatment is evidence based when such evidence is available and when not; the reader is provided the approach of an experienced neurologist with a career in neuroinfectious diseases... While this book serves as a resource to which one return when confronted with a patient with a clinical presentation that might well be due to infection or inflammation of the nervous system, it is also possible to simply read the book just for 'enjoyment'. I know I did. -- Robert P Lisak, MD, FRCP, FAAN, Parker Webber Chair in Neurology, Professor of Immunology and Microbiology, Wayne State University School of Medicine, Detroit, MI Dr Gilden has written a remarkably concise and useful guide to the management of a wide range of infections of the nervous system... and he has managed the very difficult feat of giving a wealth of key information about each condition while at the same time getting over with commendable clarity all the key aetiological, clinical and management points... I am unaware of any previous book on this subject, in particular in relation to virus infections of the nervous system, which manages to present such an integrated, comprehensive, and practical approach as has been achieved here. This book will undoubtedly be of considerable value to a wide range of readers including neurologists, infectious diseases and general medicine consultants, specialist trainees, medical students and other health professionals. -- Professor Peter GE Kennedy CBE, MD, PhD, DSc, FRCP, FMedSci, FRSE, Burton Chair of Neurology, Glasgow University, College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences, Scotland, UK Thirty-five succinctly analyzed and cogently discussed vignettes are written by a world renowned clinical neurologist with extensive experience in infections and inflammatory diseases of the nervous system. The cases are practical, well-written and packed with important teaching points and clinical pearls. The author does not shy away from controversy and provides strong opinions on management when scientific data is not available. This is a book that all clinical neurologists should keep on their desk. -- Professor Oded Abramsky, MD, PhD, FRCP, Chairmen Emeritus of the Department of Neurology, Dean Emeritus of the Hebrew University Hadassah Medical School, Jerusalem, Israel "Neuroinflammatory diseases are among the most important, inherently interesting, sometimes exotic, constantly changing, and always challenging problems in medicine. In this wonderful volume, Don Gilden has brought together a lifetime of clinical experience to highlight, in an accessible case method format, both the common and the rare. The result is a unique survey of the field by one of its true giants, with insightful pedagogical insights that burst forth from every page. There is new, practical information here for everyone, from students to the most seasoned practitioner." -- Stephen L. Hauser, MD, Professor & Chair, Department of Neurology, University of California, San Francisco, CA In this book, Dr. Gilden addresses 35 different cases of clinical infectious and inflammatory diseases of the nervous system through highly insightful presentations. Each case tells a practical story of how such diseases begin, are diagnosed and are managed and treated. -- Howard L. Lipton, MD, Department of Microbiology-Immunology, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL Dr. Gilden has provided a very engaging approach to helping clinicians who care for individuals with a wide variety of infections and inflammatory diseases of the nervous system. The challenge of a case description is followed by his analysis of pathogenesis, then management, and finally bulleted "Key Points to Remember." Brief bibliographies list carefully selected references. Neuroinfections will be most useful to neurology and internal medicine residents, and to experienced clinicians who may not be dealing with these disorders on a daily basis. -- Donald Silberberg, MD, Professor and Chair Emeritus, Department of Neurology, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA "This volume will have a significant place in the clinician's library. The format of 1) a case report, 2) what to do now (diagnosis and treatment), 3) key points about the infection and 4) further reading will serve as an excellent manual for students, residents and clinicians. It is clearly and concisely written and will be important in both academic settings and to private practitioners." -- Leslie P. Weiner, MD, Department of Neurology, Keck Medical Center of USC, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA "A helpful and informative summary of major etiologies of neurologic infections, in an enjoyable, easy-to-read format." -- Emerging Infectious Diseases "The narrative is very clear and well written and flows smoothly. ...

Book SynopsisThis is a pioneering book and is the first book of its kind. The book offers guidance about the use of ECT in adolescents with up to date and concise information. The editors of the book are Neera Ghaziuddin MD, MRCPsych (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA), and Garry Walter, MD, Ph.D. (University of Sydney, Australia) who spear-headed the re-introduction of ECT as a safe and an effective treatment option for a subgroup of adolescents with severe psychiatric disorders. This book offers a review of the existing literature, firsthand experience of the authors regarded as experts in their respective field and highly informative case descriptions. The book also offers a historical perspective, explaining the reasons why ECT fell out of favor, particularly among child and adolescent psychiatrists, and the resulting lost opportunity to train clinicians over many decades. Starting around the 1990''s, there has been a revival of interest, probably due to the recognition of treatment resistTrade ReviewThe book, simply put, is the current authority on what we need to know about the use of ECT in children and adolescents. I am tempted to end my review with that statement; however, that would not do justice to the significant efforts the authors and editors have put in to collate all what is known in this field today. . .

Book SynopsisThe Sonia Shankman Orthogenic School has won worldwide recognition for its treatment of emotionally disturbed children. The school and its continuing work at the University of Chicago have been chronicled in Bruno Bettelheim's now classic books Love Is Not Enough (1950), Truants from Life (1955), The Empty Fortress (1967), and A Home for the Heart (1972). A Greenhouse for the Mind continues the story of the school, focusing on how its teachers and counselors create an educational environment in which children will want and be able to learn. Jacquelyn Seevak Sanders worked closely with Bettelheim for thirteen years as a counselor and assistant principal and since 1973 has been director of the Orthogenic School. She offers her interpretation of Bettelheim's vision of a healing world for children, as well as her own ideas and new perspectives from the last decade. In a warm and anecdotal style, Sanders relates the experiences and overarching theoretical principles that have shaped the school and its curriculum. She describes how the staff, schedules, and physical appearance of the school have been developed to create a stable and safe place to learn; how teachers confront their own emotional vulnerability; how the staff accepts the children themselves while disciplining unacceptable behavior; and how the attention of the inattentive can be gained. She chronicles the successes and setbacks of the staff in developing a curriculum that includes reading, science, and physical education, and she exemplifies the school's principles and practices through a story of an imaginary student's educational development. In addition to her experience at the Orthogenic School, Sanders has worked with teachers at all levels from nursery schools to universities, and in A Greenhouse for the Mind she passes on what she has learned about educating difficult childrenprinciples that have been helpful to both disturbed children in a unique setting and more typical children in ordinary settings. Her attention to the role of emotions in the learning process adds an often neglected dimension to traditional cognitive and instructional approaches.

Book SynopsisIn this memoir, the renowned pediatrician and children’s advocate Irwin Redlener draws on poignant personal experiences to investigate the nation’s healthcare safety net and the programs that too often fail to protect and nurture our most vulnerable kids. Redlener argues that we must drastically change our approach to meeting the needs of children.Trade ReviewMotivating and immensely uplifting; an engaging intimate memoir about impassioned connectedness with children in dire need. * Kirkus Reviews *Illuminating. * Journal of Children and Poverty *A deeply moving memoir and call to action. * San Francisco Review of Books *As cofounder with Dr. Redlener of Children’s Health Fund, I have watched him grapple for more than thirty years with the problem of inadequate health care for our poor and working-class children. In clear, often emotional language, Redlener lays out the costs borne by children and our society of failing to resolve these health access issues. Still an optimistic realist, he offers solutions in The Future of Us that are both feasible and affordable. -- Paul SimonThe Future of Us will inform you, fascinate you, and most of all, inspire you. Join Dr. Irwin Redlener, America’s leading advocate for children’s health, as he makes his life journey from rural America to medical school in Europe and the U.S., to treating America’s poor children in the South during the civil rights era to his remarkable creativity and national leadership in founding and leading the Children’s Health Fund and the Children’s Hospital in New York City. Irwin and his partner and wife Karen have improved the health and life prospects of millions upon millions of children, but Redlener never flags in his efforts to do more, and to remind us—with great urgency and eloquence—how much better we can and must do for America’s and the world’s poor and vulnerable children. -- Jeffrey D. Sachs, University Professor of Sustainable Development, Columbia UniversityIn this incredibly personal and readable story of the activist pediatrician who created the big blue bus and brought comprehensive medical care to underserved, at-risk children all over the United States, Redlener argues that by eradicating our differences of opportunity, we can increase the well-being, prosperity, and potential of all Americans. Read this, and become inspired yourself! -- Julianne MooreThis is the book our troubled era has been waiting for. In his beautifully written, fearless exploration of the lives of vulnerable children, Dr. Redlener offers us profound insights into ourselves and our society. The Future of Us is not just wise and wonderful, it’s essential for everyone who cares about the well-being of our children and the nation as a whole. -- Bob Herbert, Distinguished Senior Fellow at Demos and former columnist for the New York TimesThe world needs to listen to the message of the amazing Irwin Redlener—that every child, no matter where and whom they are born to, deserves a chance in life. It truly is “the future of us.” -- Carolyn Miles, president and CEO, Save the ChildrenIn an engaging and heartfelt manner, The Future of Us provides snapshots of the appalling conditions facing children living in poverty in America, and then presents much-needed practical solutions to help them. I highly recommend it. -- Dan Klores, Peabody Award–winning filmmakerExcellently done, and will be an inspiration to those who read it. It particularly addresses the need to form collaborations with others involved in caring for children in their communities. I cannot name another individual who could have written this book, considering Redlener's vast experience. -- Michael Kappy, University of Colorado School of MedicineA must-read for anyone who loves and cares about children and our future. * Utica Dispatch *Ultimately, The Future of Us isn't a memoir about Redlener but a tale told to inspire others to engage in issues, to show them that politics and policy isn't some airy thing divorced from their experience. * Misanthropester *An extraordinary read from cover to cover, The Future of Us is one of those compelling personal stories that will linger in the mind and memory of the reader long after the book itself as been finished. * Midwest Book Review (review of hardcover edition) *Hard-hitting and personal, The Future of Us makes an impassioned plea for change based not only on study but on personal experience, arguing that America needs to drastically change its viewpoints and attitudes towards social programs and helping kids. * Donovans Bookshelf *One of the most important sections of the revised edition is the afterward advising the best ways to champion children’s health throughout this long-lasting pandemic. Must reading! * Recommended by Dee *An inherently compelling read from cover to cover, The Future of Us: What the Dreams of Children Mean for Twenty-First-Century America is an eloquently crafted, thoughtful and thought-provoking read. * Midwest Book Review (review of paperback edition) *Table of ContentsPrefaceAuthor's Notes and AcknowledgmentsForeword, by Jane PauleyIntroduction: The Urgency of Childhood1.

Book SynopsisTrade Review"I would recommend it for students because it demonstrates a way of thinking about medicine that is useful in paediatrics and in all other specialties. I would also recommend it to junior doctors working in an assessment unit or emergency department; a quick glance at an algorithm before seeing a patient is much faster than leafing through pages of text."
