| Publisher Description: Family doctors, pediatricians, nurses and other primary care providers function as sentinels in the community for much that is happening in our culture and function, to use a current phrase, as "first responders." This volume can be a key resource for "first responders." -Glenn C. Davis, MD, Former Dean, College of Human Medicine, Michigan State University In the second volume of Behavioral Pediatrics, primary care clinicians can build on their knowledge of basic child and adolescent development and behavior to assist them in their everyday practice.

With experts from numerous disciplines, Behavioral Pediatrics tackles specific topics in each chapter, such as the following:
- Anxiety disorders - Schizophrenia - Disruptive behavior disorders - Eating disorders - Autism spectrum disorders - Abuse in the child and adolescent - Substance use and abuse |
