Parents frequently consult both psychologists
and pediatricians about a variety of childhood problems, ranging from sleep disorders to
anxiety. But today there are so many theories about which therapies work best that it is
hard for practitioners to make informed choices. In this book, psychologists Edward R.
Christophersen and Susan L. Mortweet -- both seasoned clinicians -- help the reader assess
available treatments that have documented records of success. In many cases, treatment
manuals exist to guide clinicians in implementing these approaches. Eight comprehensive and engaging chapters cover the common problems
of disruptive behavior, anxiety, sleep disorders, nocturnal enuresis, encopresis, habit
disorders (such as tics and thumbsucking), the treatment of pain and, finally, helping
children comply with medical regimens. Designed for the busy practitioner, the book
describes diagnosis and treatment, with an emphasis on practicality. Summaries and
handouts make the material useful for training purposes as well as daily office use.
Although written for psychologists and mental health professionals, this book will also be
enormously useful to pediatricians who want the latest information on behavioral
treatments that really work.
