Troubles du comportement chez l'enfant ; Enfants - Psychopathologie ; Enfants en difficulté d'apprentissage ; Neuropsychiatrie infantile

De nombreux enfants sont atteints de troubles tels que le trouble du déficit de l'attention avec ou sans hyperactivité, les troubles d'apprentissage ou les troubles anxieux. Un fait est toutefois moins connu : la concomitance des troubles constitue la norme et non l'exception. Les parents, les enseignants et les professionnels doivent donc souvent apprendre à intervenir auprès de l'enfant en difficulté en tenant compte d'un nombre considérable de facteurs.

Cet ouvrage, facile à consulter, présente les causes, les symptômes et le traitement des troubles de façon claire et accessible. Le lecteur peut en outre y trouver des conseils précis et efficaces, après avoir découvert les principes généraux de l'évaluation et de l'intervention dans les premiers chapitres. Écrit sur un ton réaliste mais amusant, cet ouvrage s'avère un guide incontournable pour tous ceux qui cherchent à améliorer la qualité de vie d'enfants atteints de troubles multiples.

Neuropsychologie pédiatrique ; Neuropsychiatrie infantile

During the past decade, significant advances have been made in the field of neurodevelopmental disorders, resulting in a considerable impact on conceptualization, diagnostics, and practice. The second edition of Child Neuropsychology: Assessment and Interventions for Neurodevelopmental Disorders brings readers up to speed clearly and authoritatively, offering the latest information on neuroimaging technologies, individual disorders, and effective treatment of children and adolescents.

Starting with the basics of clinical child neuropsychology and functional anatomy, the authors present a transactional framework for assessment, diagnosis, and intervention. The book carefully links structure and function―and behavioral and biological science―for a more nuanced understanding of brain development and of pathologies as varied as pervasive developmental disorders, learning disabilities, neuromotor dysfunction, seizure disorders, and childhood cancers.

This volume features a range of salient features valuable to students as well as novice and seasoned practitioners alike, including:

• Overview chapters that discuss the effects of biogenic and environmental factors on neurological functioning.
• New emphasis on multicultural/cross-cultural aspects of neuropsychology and assessment.
• Brand new chapters on interpretation, neuropsychological assessment process, and report writing.
• An integrative model of neurological, neuroradiological, and psychological assessment and diagnosis.
• Balanced coverage of behavioral, pharmacological, and educational approaches to treatment.
• Case studies illustrating typical and distinctive presentations and successful diagnosis, treatment planning, and intervention.
• Important practice updates, including the new HIPAA regulations.

Child Neuropsychology, 2nd Edition, is vital reading for school, clinical child, and counseling psychologists as well as neuropsychologists. The book also provides rich background and practical material for graduate students entering these fields.

Troubles du développement chez l'enfant ; Neuropsychologie pédiatrique ; Neuropsychiatrie infantile

In this book, the author discusses a range of common neurodevelopmental disorders affecting young people - autism, depression, schizophrenia, ADHD, Tourette's Syndrome and obsessive-compulsive disorder - from the unique perspective of their proposed common origin in the function and dysfunction of the brain's frontostriatal system.

Throughout the book, the author systematically compares and contrasts them from a biological, clinical and evolutionary standpoint, viewing them as extensions of normal personality attributes, which, in less extreme form, may possess certain behavioural advantages, explaining their persistence in the general population. The result is a unique, up-to-date, and wide-ranging discussion of these disorders that draws upon biology, genetics, neuropsychology, neuropathology, neuroimaging, and clinical presentation and treatment. It will be of interest to advanced students, researchers and practitioners in neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry, psychiatry, and clinical psychology.
