Supplemental Materials

Children with Multiple Mental Health Challenges by Sarah Landy
ISBN: 9780826199614
Publication Date: 2013
This book builds on an individualized, integrated approach to present a variety of evidence-based strategies for working with children with multiple challenges. It considers children from preschool age to adolescence with a number of severe difficulties. These may include extreme aggression, oppositional defiant behavior, significant anxiety and depression, cognitive and academic challenges, delays in speech and language, problems with attention and concentration, sensory integration problems, and unresolved trauma. The treatment strategies included can be used by various specialists within the intervention team, as well as by parents and teachers.
Children with Social, Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties and Communication Problems by Melanie Cross
ISBN: 9781849051293
Publication Date: 2011
Children and young people with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties (SEBD) are far more likely to have communication problems than their peers. Exploring the ways in which children's language and emotional development are linked, Melanie Cross considers the reasons why behavioural and communication difficulties often occur together. Identifying the common causes of these problems, and why they so often go undetected, she provides practical guidelines for assessing communication skills, and describes the complexities of identifying communication problems in children, including those in public care. She shows that improving children's communication skills can also improve their behaviour, and that speech and language therapy is an important, yet often absent, service for children with SEBD.
Depression in Children by Bernice T. Naylor
ISBN: 9781607414551
Publication Date: 2009
Among both children and adolescents, depressive disorders confer an increased risk for illness and interpersonal and psychosocial difficulties that persist long after the depressive episode is resolved; in adolescents there is also an increased risk for substance abuse and suicidal behavior. Unfortunately, these disorders often go unrecognized by families and physicians alike. Signs of depressive disorders in young people often are viewed as normal mood swings typical of a particular developmental stage. In addition, health care professionals may be reluctant to prematurely "label" a young person with a mental illness diagnosis. Yet early diagnosis and treatment of depressive disorders are critical to healthy emotional, social, and behavioral development.This new book presents the latest research in the field across a wide spectrum of countries.
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5®) by American Psychiatric Association Staff; Carolyn Kernberger
Call Number: REF. RC455.2.C4 D54 2013
ISBN: 9780890425541
Publication Date: 2013
This is the standard reference for clinical practice in the mental health field. Since a complete description of the underlying pathological processes is not possible for most mental disorders, it is important to emphasize that the current diagnostic criteria are the best available description of how mental disorders are expressed and can be recognized by trained clinicians. The classification of disorders is harmonized with the World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases (ICD), the official coding system used in the United States. The disorders included in DSM-5 were reordered into a revised organizational structure meant to stimulate new clinical perspectives.
