Libri di William L. Coleman

The fourth edition of "Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics" - the pioneering, original text in this field - emphasizes children's assets and liabilities, not categorical labels. It includes fresh perspectives from new editors - Drs. William Coleman, Ellen Elias, and Heidi Feldman. This comprehensive resource offers recommendations and guidance on normal development and behavior and its genetic influences, the effect of general physical illness and psychosocial and biologic factors on development and behavior. With a more user-friendly design and online access through Expert Consult functionality, this resource offers easy access comprehensive guidance.

This handbook addresses behavioral problems that patients and their parents frequently bring to the pediatrician's attention, such as school avoidance, nightmares, and 'hanging around with the wrong friends'. Because these behaviors are the family's problem rather than just the child's, Dr. Coleman presents family-focused, solution-oriented techniques that primary care practitioners can implement. This handbook is particularly timely in light of the growing importance of behavioral and developmental pediatrics.
