Описание:
In Understanding Abnormal Child Psychology, students will learn about both normative and abnormal development throughout children's lives. Consistent with previous editions, several themes run throughout the book:
Developmental psychopathology: Children's and adolescents' behaviors are on a continuum (from very adaptive to very maladaptive), with only the very severe ends of the spectrum being conceptualized as disorders.
Diversity, inclusion, and understanding: Special attention is given to issues of race/ethnicity, gender, family constellation, religious orientation, primary language, socioeconomic status, and physical differences to help students see the commonalities and differences of abnormal child behavior within a cross-cultural and international context.
New to the 4th edition
Completely revised in both structure and content to reflect the DSM-5
Increase coverage of risk factors related to long-term effects of sexual abuse and bullying.
Increased coverage of diversity to include new "diversities" that have emerged as important, i.e. transgender children
Описание: The book addresses how spastic diplegia develops over the lifespan and explains the evidence-based, best-practice treatments. It empowers parents of young children, and adolescents and adults with the condition, to become better advocates and co-decision makers in the medical process.

Описание: Cerebral Palsy (CP) represents one of the most frequent neurological disorder in the infancy and in the childhood. It includes brain injuries or developmental defects. According to the World Health Organization, it is a main problem of public health. It may include communication, intellectual, and motor disabilities with negative consequences on children inclusion in daily life and caregivers burden. Rehabilitative interventions are primarily focused on promoting self-determination and independence of individuals with CP. Postural control, gait, and motor skills are usually embedded. Additionally, one may envisage request and choice programs aimed at enhancing the childs awareness of his/her own behavior. The volume summarizes some illustrative evidence-based contributions to emphasize the effectiveness and the suitability of the adopted programs. Beside stability of upper limbs and motor performance of children with CP (chapter one), the therapeutic effects of a horse riding simulator which was compared to a traditional physiotherapy on the sitting position of children with spastic CP (chapter two), the evaluation of stability in children with different form of CP was assessed through a rehabilitative platform was implemented (chapter three). The aforementioned experimental examinations presented between-groups investigations. Furthermore, four case-report studies were included. Assistive technology-based setups were used to promote an active role, constructive engagement, and positive participation of the enrolled children with CP and intellectual disabilities. The beneficial outcomes on their quality of life were considered. Chapter four describes a microswitch-based program to enhance ambulation responses of a child with CP. Chapter five provides a detailed illustration of such program to support locomotion fluency. Chapter six illustrates a cluster-technology aimed at pursuing the dual goal of fostering an adaptive response and reducing a challenging behavior. Chapter seven refers to a computerized system focused on enabling a child with CP and intellectual delays with academic performance and communication opportunities. Whenever available, the effects on indices of happiness and/or positive participation were analyzed. Social validation procedures involving external raters were conducted. Practical features of the retained treatments were privileged. Clinical, educational, psychological, and rehabilitative implications of the findings were systematically and critically discussed. Caregivers, educators, families of children with CP, practitioners, psychologists, speech and occupational therapists, medicine or psychology students, and teachers may find some useful insights for both research and practice in daily life settings.

Описание: Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) silently affects a large part of the population, increasing in prevalence with age and with the presence of vascular risk factors. Its harmful effects on brain parenchyma increase the risk of stroke, cognitive decline and dementia, and it is responsible for a spectrum of symptoms that are much less obvious, such as unrecognized mild signs or symptoms of neurocognitive dysfunction, mild mood or behavioral disturbances, gait dysfunction, and a general decline in function generally attributed to normal aging. These consequences pose a heavy burden on patients, families and countries that need to be addressed. Understanding and Treating Cerebral Small Vessel Disease provides an insight into a broad area of research in this field, focusing on topics that deal with the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of CSVD, recent clinical and neuroimaging findings, biomarker developments, comorbidities, prevention strategies and emerging therapeutic options. The contents are distributed in five sections that span these topics. Section I, "Pathophysiology and Subtypes of Cerebral Small Vessels Disease", includes three chapters that deal with the prevalence of different forms of small-vessels disease in vascular cognitive impairment, and the pathophysiological mechanisms of CSVD. Section II, "New Approaches for Diagnosis and Treatment of CSVD", includes six chapters which deal with the microvascular assessment of CSVD through the study of retinal blood (chapter four), a global vision of brain MRI findings in CSVD (chapter five), and digital electroencephalographic changes and computerized analysis methods in CSVD (chapter six). Chapters seven, eight and nine approach the treatment of CSVD, from the assessment of advanced immunoactive therapy for CSVD to the use of non-pharmacological therapies such as transcranial magnetic stimulation and extracorporeal shock wave therapy. The targeting of key pathogenic mechanisms is also discussed in light of experimental data and clinical trials, as well as the introduction of neuroprotection in the treatment of symptomatic and asymptomatic CSVD. Section III, "Potential Biomarkers for CSVD", includes chapters 10-13 dedicated to the early detection of CSVD through brain MRI imaging and the development of alternative circulating biomarkers (brain specific proteins, inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers, autoantibodies). The application of these biomarkers in other conditions closely associated with small vessel neurovascular networks, such as migraine, is also discussed. Section IV, "Cerebral Small Vessels Disease and Comorbid Conditions" is comprised of five chapters (14-18) which approach the relationship of CSVD with infectious diseases (viral, bacterial and parasitic infections), highlighting findings in COVID-19. Conditions related with the nervous system, such as cognitive impairment, schizophrenia and chronic alcohol consumption in association with the development of small vessel pathology in the brain are also discussed. Section V includes chapter 19, which briefly summarizes the main topics presented in this book and offers a quick vision from the editors of future trends in microangiopathy diagnosis and treatment.

Описание: Cerebral palsy presents stable encephalopathy that systemically influences on the childs and adults organism. Orthopedic complications of cerebral palsy possess on the contrary progressive features and those complications cause gradual failure of motor ability of a person: impaired walking, loss of postural ability, reduced self-care and inclusion, finally quality of life becoming much worse. That is why orthopedic aspects are of great importance in children with cerebral palsy. This volume presents a collection of chapters covering a wide range of problems, from a system of universal classification of dysfunctions in Cerebral Palsy and practical issues of prevention of orthopedic complications orthopedic to surgery (diagnostics and quantitative interpretation of gait disorders in such patients, optimal methods of surgical intervention, hip surgery, spinal surgery) and aspects of nutritive status of this specific category of patients, associated comorbidities and their influence and connection with orthopedic problems. Furthermore, three chapters are dedicated to the anesthetic aspects of orthopedic surgery. The substantiation is given to the methods of combined anesthesia and sedation during surgery, as well as in the immediate postoperative period, taking into account concomitant epilepsy, increased intracranial pressure and spasticity in such children. Single-event multilevel orthopedic surgery is a recognized gold standard in ambulatory patients, though it varies according to gait patterns and associated orthopedic problems causing motor disorders. The book contains explanations and methodology of surgeries for conventional gait patterns, as well as in iatrogenic disorders caused by previous unreasonable interventions. The chapter on the correction of deformities and dysfunctions of the upper limb shows the first applied transfer of m.flexor cubitus ulnaris to the radius, which gave extremely positive results both in terms of function and aesthetics. Unfortunately, in Russia the number of CP patients with iatrogenic orthopedic disorders is high. Extremely negative consequences in the form of weakness of the triceps muscles after percutaneous fibromyotomies (so-called "Ulzibat method") or lengthening of the Achilles tendon in diplegia performed before the age of five years and before the development of muscle retraction lead to the development of crouch gait even in patients with high motor potential (GMFCS I, II). This complication of unreasonable surgical interventions develops in 5-7 years after primary surgery and in the opinion of doctors and parents is not related to previous procedures. This book, based on 3D-instrumented gait analysis, shows the features of iatrogenic crouch gait, as well as methods of surgical correction of this difficult situation. The data presented in this book are based, on the one hand, on the personal practical and scientific experience of each author, and on the other hand, the entire team of authors works in collaboration with each other, coordinating their decisions and interventions with colleagues, thus ensuring continuity in treatment of children and adults suffering from cerebral palsy.
