Opis

In recent years the escalating costs of health care have caused managed care programs to shift the delivery of pediatric psychological services away from specialized medical centers and into primary care and school settings. One result has been a radical expansion of school psychology into issues of clinical intervention, health promotion, and the assessment of psychotropic medications. School psychologists are now expected to either deliver or (more likely) to provide consultation regarding a wide variety of pediatric psychological services. Because this is a recent phenomenon, very few school-based psychologists or allied health practitioners (school counselors and social workers) have received training in pediatric psychology. The mission of this book is to provide them with a comprehensive and authoritative guide to their newly acquired responsibilities in such areas as psychotherapy, psychopharmacology, health promotion, and prevention of disease.
This book is appropriate for anyone concerned with issues of pediatric psychology in school settings: school psychologists, pediatric psychologists, clinical child psychologists, as well as pediatricians and child psychiatrists.

Recenzje

"I am very impressed with the scope and aim of this proposal and with the lineup of authors. In sum, Ron Brown's proposal shows a great deal of promise, has very few weaknesses, is unique, and has a high likelihood of being very successful and influential."
—Ken Merrell
University of Oregon

"I agree with the editor's premise that recent changes in the health care system are shifting the delivery of pediatric psychological services within school settings. Because attention to pediatric issues of mental health is a relatively recent phenomenon, many school and community practitioners may not have received training in their graduate programs, so that a handbook in this area may be a great resource to them."
—Colette Ingraham
San Diego State University

"There are a number of positive aspects of this book: the topic is important for current practice, the author is a well respected professional in pediatric psychology, and many of the contributors are also well known. There are now a handful of school psychology programs with courses in pediatric psychology which might use this book as a text."
