Synopsis:

Sponsored by the Society of Pediatric Psychology, this authoritative work is recognized as the definitive reference in the field. In concise, peer-reviewed chapters, leading authorities comprehensively examine links between psychological and medical issues from infancy through adolescence. Psychosocial aspects of specific medical problems and developmental, emotional, and behavioral disorders are explored in depth. The volume discusses issues in training and service delivery and reviews evidence-based approaches to intervention and prevention.

See also Clinical Practice of Pediatric Psychology, edited by Michael C. Roberts, Brandon S. Aylward, and Yelena P. Wu, which uses rich case material to illustrate intervention techniques.
