Childhood Problems

A Clinician's Guide
Carolyn S. Schroeder and Betty N. Gordon
|
 |
Now in a revised and updated second edition, this popular book guides clinicians and
students in assessing and treating common childhood problems. Written in a highly
accessible style, the volume presents an overview of healthy development, examines risk
and protective factors for psychopathology, and spells out a behaviorally oriented model
of assessment and treatment planning for children aged 2-12. Each problem-focused chapter
reviews the literature on the topic at hand and provides step-by-step guidelines for
practice, illustrated with helpful case examples. Updated throughout with the latest
research, the second edition features entirely new chapters on depression, eating
problems, and ADHD. Other topics covered include disruptive behaviors, fears and
anxieties, disturbances related to toileting and sleep, sibling conflicts, and issues
surrounding parental divorce and bereavement. Featuring appendices that describe widely
used assessment instruments, the book also contains over 20 reproducible measures,
clinical forms, and parent handouts, ready to photocopy and use.
