SUMMARY

HANDBOOK OF CHILD PSYCHIATRIC DIAGNOSIS Edited by Cynthia G. Last and Michel Hersen This handbook serves as a resource for diagnosing childhood psychopathology in accordance with the American Psychiatric Association2s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Noted clinicians and researchers present empirical findings based on research activity stimulated by DSM on each of the officially defined childhood disorders. A general overview of the field is followed by chapters devoted to each of the DSM categories and a look at the future of this increasingly important subject. 1989 (0-471-84887-5) 574 pp. PSYCHIATRIC INPATIENT CARE OF CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS: A Multicultural Approach Edited by Robert L. Hendren and Irving N. Berlin This unique guide helps sensitize child psychiatrists and psychiatric workers to crucial cultural and ethnic variations in background, familial characteristics, and cultural expectations of their child and adolescent inpatients. It also shows them how to integrate such culturally diverse children into their treatment programs. This groundbreaking book includes contributions by a group of distinguished practitioners, all of whom are experienced in psychiatric treatment and the multicultural approach. 1991 (0-471-51509-4) 330 pp. FROM RITUAL TO REPERTOIRE: A Cognitive-Developmental Systems Approach with Behavior-Disordered Children Arnold Miller and Eileen Eller-Miller This groundbreaking work introduces a dynamic cognitive-developmental approach to the treatment of severely disordered children. Its systematic application of increasingly complex rituals (spheres) has been proven to expand rapidly and dramatically a child2s experience of reality and help to transform disordered into functional behavior. The first part introduces a dynamic new theoretical synthesis and the second part is devoted to practical considerations. This is an invaluable working resource for anyone involved in the treatment of severely disordered children. 1989 (0-471-84897-2) 521 pp. Behavioral interventions for childhood disorders are, at last, gaining wide acceptance among child psychiatrists and pediatricians. Proven to be a relatively quick and effective method of treatment for everything from ADHD and conduct disturbances to separation anxiety and obsessive/compulsive disorders, behavioral therapy is rapidly becoming a preferred intervention strategy, both in inpatient and outpatient environments. Yet, despite their growing enthusiasm for behavioral techniques, practitioners are hard pressed to find useful guides and references targeted specifically for behavioral interventions with children in a psychiatric setting. This book was intended to fill that void. Edited by two acknowledged leaders in their field, and including contributions from a host of distinguished clinicians and researchers, this book arms therapists with state-of-the-art behavioral approaches to the assessment and treatment of child psychopathology in the psychiatric setting. While its first two sections cover, in depth, general assessment and treatment issues-including chapters on frequently encountered problems, such as child maltreatment and pediatric pain-the book2s core constitutes a practical guide to behavioral methods as applied to a wide range of child psychopathologies. Each chapter in this section is devoted to a different problem, and coverage within each is organized according to six major categories: "Description of the Problem," "Prototypic Assessment," "Actual Assessment," "Prototypic Treatment," "Actual Treatment," and "Summary." Topics covered include mental retardation, ADHD, conduct disorders, separation anxiety disorder, phobias, anorexia and bulimia, depressive disorders, obsessive/compulsive disorders, tic disorders, elimination disorders, sub-substance abuse, post-traumatic stress disorders, obesity, somatization disorders, and pAmmerman, Robert T. is the author of 'Handbook of Child Behavior Therapy in the Psychiatric Setting', published 1994 under ISBN 9780471578444 and ISBN 0471578444.
