Subject: A comprehensive reference for parents, school personnel, and all who have regular contact with children, the A-Z Handbook of Child and Adolescent Issues contains hundreds of entries dealing with virtually every issue relevant to the psychology of young people. Modeled after medical desk references, this "user-friendly" guide is specifically designed to provide detailed information and valuable guidance that anyone can understand and benefit from. Entries range from commonly occurring behaviors, such as thumb-sucking and temper tantrums, to those which are more pathological in nature, such as adolescent suicide and childhood schizophrenia. Each entry contains a detailed definition in non-technical language; concrete, real-life examples of the topic being discussed; and information on differentiating "normal" behaviors from those rightly-considered reason for concern. For those issues which may require professional intervention and treatment, the book offers in-depth yet understandable analyses of theories of cause, typical symptom presentation and clinical course, advice on when it is appropriate to seek professional help, and practical suggestions for successful intervention. Readers can also learn what information will be asked of them by the clinician, what information can be reasonably asked of the clinician, as well as details of the actual treatment experience. Each issue is presented within a developmental framework, implicitly incorporating the subtleties which must be taken into account when working with adolescents and children. Unique in its completeness and content, this is an essential reference for anyone who interacts with young people - an A-Z guide to the complete childhood experience. https://www.amazon.com/Handbook-Child-Adolescent-Issues/dp/0205283276/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=9780205283279&qid=1588775142&s=books&sr=1-1
