Stein, Dixon and Stein’s Encounters with Children, Fifth Edition, offers a unique, how-to approach to understanding the developmental stages of childhood, providing practical strategies for today’s clinicians who interact with children and families. Unlike pathology-focused pediatrics texts, this compact volume examines typical child development and offers expert guidance on childhood stages, developmental challenges, family wellbeing, and social determinants of health. From the neonatal visit and newborn exam through the late adolescent years, this highly regarded reference provides thorough, evidence-based guidance with an emphasis on relationships as central to a child’s wellbeing. Content is aligned with the well-child visit schedule, making it highly relevant to new and experienced clinicians alike. Now under the expert guidance of new editors, Drs. Jenny Radesky and Caroline Kistin, this edition:
- Brings the child’s perspective into focus through the use of numerous children’s drawings and quotes
- Contains a new chapter on the juvenile justice system and school-to-prison pipeline, as well as updates to topics and language that are inclusive of BIPOC families, LGBT families, those experiencing poverty and related material insecurities, children experiencing foster care, and community partnerships to help families under stress
- Draws upon the knowledge and experience of experts in the field and includes new guidance on addressing social determinants of health, promoting parent-child attachment, promoting equitable school readiness, and supporting families through traumatic experiences
- Provides Observational, Interview, and Examination points for each age, and presents a "Heads Up" section in each chapter, alerting clinicians to certain behaviors that may be present
- Discusses key topics such as childhood depression, digital and social media, educational opportunity, community violence, bullying, learning disabilities, and much more
- Includes data gathering sections at the end of each chapter that demonstrate how to apply information in clinical settings by using age-appropriate interview techniques and activities
- An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date
