Zusammenfassung:Clinicians and researchers working with children frequently encounter problems in multiple domains, including language, learning, and behavior, and recent studies show that as many as one third of children seen in psychiatric clinics for behavioral and learning problems may also have underlying language disorders. Language as a connecting bridge between learning disability and psychiatric disorder is the unifying theme of this wide-ranging book. In a combination of review chapters and research reports on major studies such as the Connecticut Longitudinal Study, and the Colorado Reading Project, the distinguished international contributors cover many important neuropsychiatric disorders of childhood. Particular prominence is given to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, dyslexia, and autistic disorder. Explanations for the comorbidity of psychiatric and language disorder are sought in developmental, cognitive and biological fields, the contribution of new imaging modalities is considered, and implications for etiology, treatment and rehabilitation are explored. Topical issues such as syndrome definition in dyslexia, acquired memory disorder in childhood and biology-behavior correspondence are well covered, as are a range of treatment options. A final section is devoted to outcome studies. Enlivened with case vignettes, and offering insights into the range of current thinking on language and behavior, this book is a rich resource for professionals and advanced students concerned with child health and development, offering ideas for a unified view of language, learning and behavior problems.
