Child And Adolescent Psychology

Chapter 10 discusses how the identity of the clinical child and adolescent psychologist forms as someone with specialized competencies and skills to provide services to children and adolescents and their families, and to conduct research into issues of development, psychotherapy, assessment and diagnosis, and treatment. It also covers how this identity is partially achieved through membership in professional organizations, personal continuing efforts to maintain competences and develop new skills, and advanced credentials or board certification in clinical child and adolescent psychology. It addresses that, although membership in professional organizations does not automatically bestow competencies or credentials on a specialty psychologist, it does permit the clinical child and adolescent psychologist to monitor changes in the field, remain current with evidence-based practice and scientific advances, seek counsel on clinical challenges and ethical dilemmas, and gain support from the specialty community of practitioners and scholars.

Emdr Therapy

Abstract Purpose of review Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is recognized as an excellent approach to the treatment of trauma in clinical and academic contexts by several national and international organizations. The purpose of this work is to summarize the results of research on EMDR therapy with children and adolescents in various contexts through a narrative review of the scientific literature. Recent findings Selected studies were clustered in several clinical domains: (2) EMDR and trauma (T), (3) EMDR and violence, (4) EMDR and physical illnesses, and (5) EMDR and psychological problems. Our research indicates how the effectiveness of EMDR therapy within the context of child and adolescent psychology has been widely established in literature. One of the advantages of the use of EMDR therapy with children and adolescents is its flexibility, which allows it to be adapted for various age ranges, situations, and cultures. Summary EMDR therapy is a structured psychotherapeutic method that facilitates the treatment of several psychopathologies and problems related to both traumatic events and more common experiences that are emotionally stressful for children and adolescents, although new studies are necessary to increase its validity.

Child And Adolescent Psychology

This comprehensive, 51-chapter handbook presents recent advances in the expression, etiology, assessment, and treatment of child and adolescent psychiatric disorders and related problems from a developmental psychopathology perspective. Following a broad conceptual overview of this area of clinical research and practice, assessment and treatment practices are examined for specific DSM-5 disorders and other nondiagnostic but nonetheless significant problems in childhood and adolescence, including the maltreatment of youth, children of divorce, children with incarcerated parents, nonsuicidal self-injury among youth, youth with suicidal thoughts and behavior, children who bully or are bullied, youth with medical conditions, and youth with neurobehavioral disorders. The practice of clinical child and adolescent psychology is then explored in diverse settings, including school, community mental health, outpatient, inpatient, forensic, and private practice settings. Implementation of evidence-based practices in these settings may help close the oft-cited gap between research and clinical practice. Finally, timely topics are presented that will likely influence mental health care and research with children and adolescents over the next couple of decades, namely, the neurobiological mechanisms underlying psychopathology and treatment, electronic and telehealth delivery developments, cognitive training methods and technology, transdiagnostic approaches, and pediatric psychopharmacology. The volume concludes with special attention to the dissemination of evidence-based assessment and treatment practices.
