en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 mai 2019
Pediatric irritability, defined as increased proneness to anger relative to peers, is among the most common reasons for mental health referrals. The past fifteen years have witnessed a dramatic rise in the empirical study of pediatric irritability with the goal of developing more effective methods of assessing and treating these impaired youth. Irritability in Pediatric Psychopathology offers a comprehensive overview of this work, approaching the topic from multiple perspectives and disciplines including child psychiatry, clinical psychology, developmental psychology, and neuroscience. Offering five sections composed of chapters written by international experts, the book begins be defining pediatric irritability, reviewing its prevalence, current assessment methods, and novel behavioral and psychophysiological indicators. The second section reviews the literature on the development of pediatric irritability from preschool age through adolescence and young adulthood. The third section summarizes the current evidence for genetic and neurobiological factors contributing to pediatric irritability, while the fourth reviews its presentation transdiagnostically across mood and anxiety disorders, disruptive behavior disorders, and autism. Finally, the book concludes with a presentation of evidence-based psychological and pharmacological interventions. Irritability in Pediatric Psychopathology is an essential resource for researchers, clinicians, and trainees working with children and adolescents.

Recenzii

Thistimely volume explores anger symptomatology in children and adolescents. Currently one of the most common reasons for pediatric referral for psychological evaluation, irritability is a common symptom in multiple disordersThe essays examine and report on how irritability presents itself across many disorders; consider potential long-term consequences; and make recommendations for treatment. This book will be most useful to clinicians, though select essays may be useful to scholars of development psychology.
A state-of-the-science book on pediatric irritability by leading experts in the field.While irritability is a common referral complaint that brings parents and children to mental health professionals, much needs to be understood about its significance across mood and behavioral disorders. This book provides a valuable and needed resource to guide assessment and treatment.
Irritability is finally getting the scientific attention it deserves. This book provides the latest translational perspective on this dimension of human behavior from the fields of child psychiatry, clinical neuroscience, and developmental psychopathology. It will be valuable to researchers, but it will also have a place for helping clinicians and informed parents to understand a critical feature of psychopathology.
The complex transdiagnostic manifestations of pediatric irritability are superbly addressed in this landmark compilation of perspectives by the leaders in the field. This incomparable resource on what is currently known delineates the research agendas in epidemiology, phenomenology, assessment, neuroimaging, genetics, and therapeutics over the next decade. Essential reading for all clinicians and investigators focused on the mental health of children and adolescents.

Notă biografică

Amy K. Roy is an Associate Professor of Psychology at Fordham University where she also serves as the Director of the Integrative Neuroscience Program. She has been the recipient of numerous awards including two Young Investigator Awards from the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation (formerly NARSAD), an Anxiety Disorders Association of America Career Development Travel Award, and a New Clinical Drug Evaluation Unit New Investigator's Award. She has authored/co-authored over 40 peer-reviewed papers and has edited a book on Pediatric Anxiety Disorders. Melissa A. Brotman is the Director of Neuroscience and Novel Therapeutics, Section on Mood Dysregulation and Neuroscience, Emotion and Development Branch at the National Institute of Mental Health. Currently, her developmental, translational research integrates basic and clinical approaches to the study of mood disorders in children and adolescents. Specifically, she uses affective neuroscience techniques (e.g., fMRI, behavioralparadigms) to understand the brain-based mechanisms underlying severe irritability in youth, and then uses that pathophysiological knowledge to guide the development of novel targeted interventions. She is on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Affective Disorders. Finally, mentoring is an essential aspect of her career; she was recognized in September 2016 when she received the NIMH Outstanding Mentor Award. Ellen Leibenluft is a Senior Investigator at the National Institute of Mental Health Intramural Research Program. Her contributions include identifying chronic irritability as an important clinical problem distinct from pediatric bipolar disorder, and using cognitive neuroscience to elucidate the nosology and pathophysiology of pediatric mental disorders, thus enabling the development of novel interventions. She has authored over 250 publications and served as an Editor and Editorial Board member for multiple journals in her field. She has received many awards, includingthe NIMH Director's Merit Award and election to the National Academy of Medicine.
