Childhood Behavior Disorders: Progress Since the Late 1990s

"Childhood Behavior Disorders: Progress Since the Late 1990s" provides a comprehensive look at the advancements in this field. We explore how diagnostic criteria for conditions like autism and ADHD have been revised in DSM-5 and ICD-11 to reflect spectrums and lifespan considerations. We examine the current understanding of the interplay between genetics, neurobiology, and environment in their development. Learn about the prioritization of non-pharmacological treatments, the expanded pharmacological options, and the significant impact of the neurodiversity movement on how these conditions are perceived and supported. We also discuss the crucial findings from longitudinal studies tracking outcomes into adulthood.
