Pediatric Neurotoxicology: Academic and Psychosocial Outcomes de Cynthia A. Riccio

Pediatric Neurotoxicology: Academic and Psychosocial Outcomes: Specialty Topics in Pediatric Neuropsychology

Editat de Cynthia A. Riccio, Jeremy R. Sullivan
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 aug 2016
This book focuses on children and the impact of neurotoxins on the developing brain to guide the practice of psychologists working with children in clinical and school settings. Each chapter covers a distinct neurotoxin or group of neurotoxins, with particular emphasis on the impact of the neurotoxin exposure on the developing brain and long-term cognitive and psychosocial outcomes. This is more complex than studying neurotoxins with adults because of the rapid development occurring in the child's brain. Further, children are more susceptible than adults to the effects of neurotoxins due to their developmental status. Many of the effects discussed in this volume occur in utero, thus setting the stage for an altered developmental trajectory.

Recenzii

“Pediatric Neurotoxicology: Academic and Psychosocial Outcomes, a small but packed volume on the short- and long-term effects of pediatric neurotoxicity. Published as part of a series entitled Specialty Topics in Pediatric Neuropsychology, this small book should be included as a basic reference for beginning students in human genetics or neurodevelopment, pediatric clinicians, teachers, and human service providers in the foster care and adoption systems.” (Barbara Y. Whitman, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 62 (7), February, 2017)

Pediatric Neurotoxicology
Academic and Psychosocial Outcomes
 
Cynthia A. Riccio and Jeremy R. Sullivan, editors
 
 
This comprehensive guide details the harmful effects of a wide range of neurotoxins on the developing brain, emphasizing cognitive, academic, emotional, and behavioral outcomes. It describes the mechanisms involved as neurotoxicity impacts the brain during pre- and postnatal exposure to alcohol, nicotine, prescription and street drugs, and environmental and chemical toxins. These robust findings are compatible with current understanding of neurodevelopment, and with current technological and other methods of identifying damage to children’s brain-behavior structures and functioning. In addition, contributors identify factors that may reduce negative outcomes as well as offer recommendations for interventions and preventive strategies.  
Included in the coverage:
 
    <  Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders: academic and psychosocial outcomes.
  •   In utero exposure to nicotine, cocaine, and amphetamines.
  •   Psychotropic medication in pregnancy: focus on child outcomes.
  •   Neurocognitive effects of pesticides in children.
  •   Exposure to lead and other heavy metals: child development outcomes. 
  •   The academic and psychosocial impact of air pollution on children.
Pediatric Neurotoxicology synthesizes cross-disciplinary findings and clinical insights to benefit neuropsychologists, pediatricians, clinical social workers, child and school psychologists, and other professionals working to improve development and functioning in this underserved [ok?] child population.
