Description - Language, Learning, and Behavior Disorders by Joseph H. Beitchman
Language as a connecting bridge between learning disability and psychiatric disorder is the unifying theme of this wide-ranging book. 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 aetiology, treatment and rehabilitation are explored. Topical issues such as syndrome definition in dyslexia, acquired memory disorder in childhood and biology-behaviour 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.
