From a review of the second edition:

"I would strongly recommend this book to all who teach or are training in clinical child psychology. The enthusiastically and vividly written text with all its facts and practical tips makes you aware how broad and interesting the job of a clinical child psychologist is."
—Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy

Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology combines theory and practice to provide a concise yet comprehensive review of the knowledge, concepts and core competencies required for the practice of child and adolescent psychology.

For the third edition, this popular book now includes the clinical problems of adolescence, as well as an updated account of childhood clinical and community-based problems. The clinical literature has been fully revised, with special attention being given to treatment effectiveness.

Each chapter considers a different category of problem or disorder and covers issues of diagnosis, causes, interventions and outcomes. It provides step-by-step guides to assessment, formulation and treatment that can be used in everyday practice, and includes helpful examples and case studies. The theoretical framework for the book is developmental psychopathology and cognitive behavioural theory. It also covers psychiatric aspects such as medication and other physical therapies, and discusses multi-agency collaboration.

This engaging text, by one of the world’s foremost clinical child psychologists, remains a leader in the field. It will be of great value to all clinical psychologists in practice and those in training, as well as other key professionals working with children and young people.

Clinical Applications of Continuous Performance Tests: Measuring Attention and Impulsive Responding in Children and Adults [Hardcover]

Rating:
Author: Cynthia A. Riccio
ISBN : 9780471380320
Buy New from $70.50
The first comprehensive guide to Continuous Performance Test techniques

Continuous Performance Tests (CPTs) are used in the ongoing diagnosis and treatment monitoring of children and adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In Clinical Applications of Continuous Performance Tests, three well-respected members of the behavioral assessment field discuss the clinical use and limitations of CPTs, as well as their diagnostic efficacy for disorders first evident in childhood and adolescence and those evident later in adulthood.

This comprehensive handbook is the first to examine the similarities and differences of the numerous CPT techniques and their research literature. The four major instruments in use today are thoroughly reviewed (Conners' CPT, Gordon Diagnostic System, Integrated Visual and Auditory CPT, and Test of Variables of Attention/Test of Variables of Attention-Auditory), along with a complete overview of their specific applications. Additional CPTs are discussed in the context of how modifications to the CPT paradigm can affect results and, subsequently, interpretation. Brain-behavior correlates of CPT scores and the use of CPTs for monitoring effectiveness of treatment approaches are also covered in depth.

For psychologists, psychiatrists, and neurologists who diagnose and treat ADHD, Clinical Applications of Continuous Performance Tests is a unique and invaluable resource.
* Examines and compares four major, commercially available CPTs
* Includes guidelines for clinical practice and application
* Provides basic neuroscience underlying the CPT paradigms
* Explains how to monitor medication effects with CPTs
* Defines the relationship of CPTs to other cognitive and behavioral measures

Health Anxiety: Hypochondriasis and Related Disorders [Hardcover]

Rating: (1 reviews)
Author: Gordon J.G. Asmundson
ISBN : 9780471999928
Buy New from $2,396.90
Recent years have seen major advances in the understanding and treatment of health anxiety and hypochondriasis, particulary in relation to the cognitive behavioural approach to anxiety. This volume brings together this knowledge of psychological and pharmacological treatments of health anxiety, and relates it to a conceptual framework which provides a basis for assessment, treatment and ongoing research.

"Asmundson, Taylor and Cox have assembled a group of world class scientists and practitioners for this book. The chapters provide a wealth of information on the causes, assessment and treatment of health anxiety related disorders. I believe that their book is the most significant contribution to date to our understanding of health anxiety related disorders. Everyone working in the health field will find something of worth in this book."

Health Anxiety: Hypochondriasis and Related Disorders

This is to our knowledge the first comprehensive book on health anxiety, a subject rarely described before the 1980s. Gordon JG Asmundson, a psychologist and director of clinical research and development at the Regina Health District, Saskatchewan, Steven Taylor, a clinical psychologist and professor at the University of British Columbia Department of Psychiatry and Brian J Cox, a clinical psychologist and associate professor at the Department of Psychiatry, University of Manitoba, have together with 37 colleagues from Canada, United Kingdom and the United States compiled this textbook on hypochondriasis and related conditions.
The book is divided into four parts: Clinical features and theoretical perspectives, assessment and treatment, related conditions, conclusions and future directions with a total of 15 chapters.
Hypochondria as a term dates back more than 2000 years with a definition by Forbes Winslow in 1863 (Obscure diseases of the brain and mind) and today considered as "health related fears and beliefs, based on interpretations, or, perhaps more often, misinterpretations, of bodily signs and symptoms as being indicative of a serious illlness". The disorder occur in about 5% of the general population without gender preference and can begin at any age, but most common onset in early adulthood. Health anxiety can be quite devastating with intense fear and functional disability for the patient, they environment or relatives.
In recent years research has been done, but there is a need for further research in this disorder, effects of treatment and long term outcomes. This book will give you the current status in the field from an international perspective and will be helpful for clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, family physicians and therapists in mental health and general medicine....
