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.

“A mix of magic realism and Southern gothic, this stunning collaboration between King and McDowell…moves at a hypnotic pace, like an Alabama water moccasin slipping through black water.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)Calliope “Calley” Dakin is no normal little girl. She hears things that maybe a little girl shouldn’t hear—and knows things a little girl should never know. Just seven when her beloved father is tortured, murdered, and dismembered by two women with no discernable motivation, Calley and her mother find themselves caught up in inexplicable events that exile them to Pensacola Beach. There—in a house that’s a dead ringer for Calley’s late great-grandmother’s house—another woman awaits their presence. A woman who understands what Calley is, but can’t begin to imagine just how strong her bond is with her father—even after death...Known for his chilling Blackwater series, author Michael McDowell left behind the unfinished manuscript for Candles Burning on his death in 1999. In the spirit of the ghost stories that Michael loved, Tabitha King has taken up where he left off.

Author Michael McDowell, known for his chilling Blackwater series, left behind the unfinished manuscript of Candles Burning upon his death in 1999. His close friend, Tabitha King, has taken up where he left off, weaving a Southern gothic fabric of murder, guilt, innocence, corruption, and survival, in the voices of the living and the dead.
Seven-year-old Calley Dakin is daddy’s little girl, but her well-born mother persists in her contempt for the Dakin name. When her daddy is tortured and murdered by two women with no discernible motivation, Calley and her mother find themselves caught up in inexplicable events that exile them to Pensacola Beach. There, another woman awaits their presence, a woman who knows what Calley is and who seeks to control her—for Calley is no ordinary little girl.
