Klappentext

Behavioural Problems in Developmental Disorders: A Paediatrician's Guide helps paediatricians better understand and manage behaviour issues in children and adolescents with developmental disorders. These challenges are common but often not well covered in paediatric training, making them difficult to address in practice.

A key challenge is determining whether a child's behaviour is due to brain differences or shaped by their environment and experiences. Traditional diagnostic labels may not always offer clear guidance. This book bridges the gap between psychiatry and paediatrics, offering practical tools and insights. It covers how to assess a child in context, understand their abilities and experiences, and build a flexible, evolving understanding of their behaviour. It also provides a toolkit for managing behaviour, including what paediatricians can do themselves and how to work effectively with others.

Real-life case examples illustrate the process, and the book ends with a look at specific developmental conditions from a behavioural point of view.
