School Mental Health, An Issue of Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics of North America

1st Edition
Volume 24-2
March 20, 2015
Margaret Benningfield
English

This publication promotes school based mental health services as a means for increasing access to care and for early intervention. There are 3 levels of intervention in school-based mental health: 1. Universal promotion/prevention... Implementing whole-school approaches (including training teachers and administrators) to ensure and foster wellness. 2. Targeted prevention: Providing prevention services for youth at-risk of developing mental health problems. 3. Indicated services: Providing assessment and direct care for youth with identified mental health needs. The approach of this Issue presents current evidence-based practice in schools and review of schools as a vital part of systems of care for youth. In addition to psychiatrists, this issue addresses collaboration with families, educators, administrators, social workers, counselors and psychologists. The Editors leading this issue are from Vanderbilt University and University of Maryland. Both Vanderbilt and Maryland have well-established clinical programs that provide a full continuum of mental health services, including "indicated services" to serve youth with mental health diagnoses (i.e., severe psychiatric disorders). Psychiatrists are part of the treatment team, and work directly in the school or provide consultation (often via telehealth technologies). Given that family engagement is a major part of making therapies work effectively, partnering with families is a critical part of the treatment process.

ADHD: Non-Pharmacologic Interventions, An Issue of Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics of North America

1st Edition
Volume 23-4
September 17, 2014
Stephen V. Faraone
English

This issue of Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics provides an overview of childhood traumatic exposures and their impact for health care providers: child and adolescent psychiatrists, general psychiatrists, other pediatric behavioral health providers and primary care clinicians. Children in the United States are exposed to trauma more frequently than most clinicians are aware - either as a single occurrence, or through repeated events. These exposures result in neurobiological, developmental and clinical sequelae that can undermine children's health and well-being. This publication describes the multiple types of traumatic exposures and their sequelae, methods of screening and assessment, and principles of effective prevention and clinical treatment. Emphasis is on areas of particular relevance to children - disasters, war, domestic violence, school and community violence, sexual victimization, complex trauma - and differentiates disasters as unique traumas, requiring trauma-informed systems of care to effectively meet the needs of the exposed population. The third section of the issue describes strategies for primary prevention - violence prevention, useful public policies - and risk mitigation - skill and resilience building strategies. Evidence based treatments for trauma-induced clinical disorders are reviewed.

Daniel Marcelli + 2 more
French

"L'adolescence est l'âge où chaque individu doit pouvoir se "soucier de lui-même" ou en d'autres termes, développer à son propre égard une connaissance de soi et de ses limites à l'intérieur desquelles la capacité à "prendre soin de soi" est un facteur fondamental de santé, physique et mentale, actuelle et future. Cela ne se fait ni en un jour ni par la grâce d'une génération spontanée. L'objectif le plus ambitieux de cet ouvrage, qui fête bientôt ses 30 ans et accueille de nouveaux collaborateurs, est d'apporter à chaque professionnel au contact d'adolescents en difficulté les connaissances et les repères lui permettant de répondre au mieux à cette priorité." Daniel Marcelli, Alain Braconnier À l'occasion de cette 8e édition les chapitres concernant les automutilations, les troubles du comportement alimentaire, la dépression et les tentatives de suicides ont été largement remaniés. Cette nouvelle édition tient également compte de la sortie du DSM-5.

Crise et urgence à l'adolescence

1st Edition
July 4, 2013
Marie-Jeanne Guedj Bourdiau + 1 more
French

Crise, urgence... des mots utilisés par les adolescents eux-mêmes et porteurs de confusion. A travers la sexualisation du corps et la distanciation d'avec les figures parentales, le processus d'adolescence a pour conséquence une fragilisation du Moi de l'individu. Cet ouvrage, écrit par deux spécialistes de l'adolescence, propose des repères d'évaluation pour différencier une crise maturante, celle qui conduit à une impasse du développement et celle qui nécessite une réponse urgente. L'ouvrage clarifie tout d'abord les concepts de crise et d'urgence à l'adolescence puis présente les nombreux aspects cliniques de la crise à l'adolescence (violence, signes annonciateurs, motifs cliniques de la demande en urgence, approche nosographique). Il développe ensuite la prise en charge : 1ère rencontre, suivi téléphonique, évaluation et orientation des soins (ambulatoire, hospitalisation, prescription).
