Every physician who works with children occasionally encounters troubled behavior in their patients--from learning and discipline problems to severe eating difficulties. To provide the best care possible, clinicians, as well as parents, need a practical guide to help them control and remedy these treatable problems. Pediatric Compliance is a straightforward, comprehensive review of effective assessment methods and treatment protocols for common behavioral and biobehavioral disorders in children. Dr. Christophersen, a noted specialist in behavioral pediatrics, presents practical strategies that address such frequently encountered disorders as toileting problems, excessive crying, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and separation anxiety. Based on material presented in a highly successful pediatric psychology course at the University of Kansas Medical Center (where Dr. Christophersen taught from 1974 to 1991), this unique guide contains problem evaluation techniques and proven treatment summaries that can be put to repeated constructive use in daily clinical practice.
