It is universally accepted that sensitive and responsive caregiving leads to positive cognitive and socio-emotional outcomes for children. While several intervention approaches exist, this text brings together the rationale and current evidence base for one such approach—the Mediational Intervention for Sensitizing Caregivers (MISC).

MISC integrates aspects of socio-emotional health and cognitive development as well as being less culturally intrusive than existing approaches. It is a strengths-based program complementing existing practices and cultures. Editors bring together in one volume the theory and research from the last decade supporting the MISC approach. Chapters focus on a range of topics, such as training the trainer, maternal depression and MISC, applying MISC to families reunited after migration-related separation and more. The book also focuses on several country-specific cases, such as applying MISC to HIV/AIDS-affected children in South Africa or in early childhood care settings in Israel.

This book is essential reading for those working in early educational or clinical settings tasked with developing policy to ensure optimal child developmental outcomes. The book is applicable to professionals from a wide variety of disciplines including clinical, counselling, educational, psychology, psychiatry, paediatrics, nursing, social work and public health.

The mainstream upper-level undergraduate textbook designed for first courses in Developmental Psychopathology

Developmental Psychopathology provides a comprehensive introduction to the evolving scientific discipline that focuses on the interactions between the biological, psychological, behavioral, and social contextual aspects of normal and abnormal human development. Designed for advanced undergraduates and early graduate students with no previous engagement with the subject, this well-balanced textbook integrates clinical knowledge and scientific practice to help students understand both how and why mental health problems emerge across the lifespan.

Organized into four parts, the text first provides students with essential background information on traditional approaches to psychopathology, developmental psychopathology (DP), normal development, and insecure attachment. The next section addresses attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and other problems emerging in childhood. Part III covers problems that arise in adolescence and young adulthood, such as depression, suicide, eating disorders, and schizophrenia. The text concludes with a discussion of special topics such as the relation between pathopsychological issues and divorce, separation, and loss. Each chapter includes a visual demonstration of the DP approach, a clinical case, further readings, and discussion questions. Developmental Psychopathology:

Developmental Psychopathology is the perfect textbook for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses in Child Psychopathology, Abnormal Child Psychology, Clinical Psychology, and Family Dynamics and Psychopathology.

Diagnosing Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) in young people has long been a tough call for clinicians, either for fear of stigmatizing the child or confusing the normal mood shifts of adolescence with pathology. Now, a recent upsurge in relevant research into early-onset BPD is inspiring the field to move beyond this hesitance toward a developmentally nuanced understanding of the disorder.

The Handbook of Borderline Personality Disorder in Children and Adolescents reflects the broad scope and empirical strengths of current research as well as promising advances in treatment. This comprehensive resource is authored by veteran and emerging names across disciplines, including developmental psychopathology, clinical psychology, child psychiatry, genetics and neuroscience in order to organize the field for an integrative future. Leading-edge topics range from the role of parenting in the development of BPD to trait-based versus symptom-based assessment approaches, from the life-course trajectory of BPD to the impact of the DSM-5 on diagnosis. And of particular interest are the data on youth modifications of widely used adult interventions, with session excerpts.

Key areas featured in the Handbook:

The Handbook of Borderline Personality Disorder in Children and Adolescents is a breakthrough reference for researchers and clinicians in a wide range of disciplines, including child and school psychology and psychiatry, social work, psychotherapy and counseling, nursing management and research and personality and social psychology.

This manual demystifies borderline personality disorder in young people by using the principles of good psychiatric management (GPM) to offer clinicians essential guidelines for generalist care. The authors outline common problems that arise during each phase or aspect of treatment, from diagnosis and pharmacology to family interventions, and discuss how to address them.

Le trouble de la personnalit� borderline (TPB), caract�ris� par l'instabilit� dans les relations interpersonnelles, les comportements autodestructeurs et impulsifs,l'hypersensibilit� au rejet et � l'abandon, touche, selon l'American Psychiatric Association, 2 % de la population, mais reste mal identifi�. Les sympt�mes apparaissent chez l'adolescent ou le jeune adulte (plus t�t encore selon certaines �tudes). Les enjeux d'une bonne prise en soins sont donc importants, d'autant que le trouble se d�veloppe chez le sujet jeune et qu'il peut, s'il n'est pas correctement pris en soins, impacter fortement les sujets pendant leur vie adulte.Ce manuel de bonne prise en soins pour adolescents (Good Psychiatric Management for Adolescents [GPM-A]) avec TPB a �t� r�dig� pour surmonter certains de ces obstacles en fournissant des recommandations pratiques et une approche g�n�rale de la prise en soins clinique des patients adolescents avec un TPB. Les �volutions attendues portent sur la diminution de la souffrance, une meilleure ma�trise de soi comportementale, des relations interpersonnelles et du fonctionnement social.Volontiers pratique dans son expos�, l'ouvrage aborde, pour chacun des points qui doivent �tre travaill�s avec le patient et son entourage (familial, scolaire etp�riscolaire), les probl�mes les plus fr�quemment rencontr�s et les r�ponses qui peuvent leur �tre apport�es ; l'ouvrage est �galement compl�t� par des cas cliniques et par des recommandations � l'intention des familles mais aussi des soignants. Cette m�thodologie, centr�e en premier lieu sur le trouble de la personnalit� borderline, constitue aussi une approche th�rapeutique fiable et structur�e, utile pour tous ceux qui ont � prendre en charge un adolescent en souffrance psychique.�
