Book Synopsis The Mystery of Risk by : Ira J. Chasnoff
Download or read book The Mystery of Risk written by Ira J. Chasnoff and published by Nti Upstream. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ill effects of a baby's exposure to drugs and alcohol while in the womb are demonstrated in this essential reference with cutting-edge information from the fields of medicine, neuroscience, and child psychology. These findings posit that many of the learning and behavior problems seen in children--from poor school performance to patterns of impulsivity often diagnosed as ADHD--are both treatable and preventable. The book first traces the history of fetal malformation back to the time of Aristotle, then presents a resounding call for integrated systems of care for high-risk children and their families. Methods for applying behavior management and treatment techniques are included for health care practitioners, social workers, early childhood intervention specialists, special education teachers, and parents, whether for use at home, at school, or in the clinical setting.

Book Synopsis Ending Discrimination Against People with Mental and Substance Use Disorders by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Ending Discrimination Against People with Mental and Substance Use Disorders written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-09-03 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estimates indicate that as many as 1 in 4 Americans will experience a mental health problem or will misuse alcohol or drugs in their lifetimes. These disorders are among the most highly stigmatized health conditions in the United States, and they remain barriers to full participation in society in areas as basic as education, housing, and employment. Improving the lives of people with mental health and substance abuse disorders has been a priority in the United States for more than 50 years. The Community Mental Health Act of 1963 is considered a major turning point in America's efforts to improve behavioral healthcare. It ushered in an era of optimism and hope and laid the groundwork for the consumer movement and new models of recovery. The consumer movement gave voice to people with mental and substance use disorders and brought their perspectives and experience into national discussions about mental health. However over the same 50-year period, positive change in American public attitudes and beliefs about mental and substance use disorders has lagged behind these advances. Stigma is a complex social phenomenon based on a relationship between an attribute and a stereotype that assigns undesirable labels, qualities, and behaviors to a person with that attribute. Labeled individuals are then socially devalued, which leads to inequality and discrimination. This report contributes to national efforts to understand and change attitudes, beliefs and behaviors that can lead to stigma and discrimination. Changing stigma in a lasting way will require coordinated efforts, which are based on the best possible evidence, supported at the national level with multiyear funding, and planned and implemented by an effective coalition of representative stakeholders. Ending Discrimination Against People with Mental and Substance Use Disorders: The Evidence for Stigma Change explores stigma and discrimination faced by individuals with mental or substance use disorders and recommends effective strategies for reducing stigma and encouraging people to seek treatment and other supportive services. It offers a set of conclusions and recommendations about successful stigma change strategies and the research needed to inform and evaluate these efforts in the United States.

This book outlines effective methods for intervention and assessment and indicates future directions for investigation.

This guidebook explores the controversies over treatment and therapy options and the ethics of care. It advocates positive outcome intervention methods that promote the health interests of both mother and unborn child whenever possible, with an emphasis on clinical efforts geared to change maternal behavior.Practical and comprehensive, Children With Prenatal Drug Exposure explores a full range of provoking topics, including: neurological effects and sensory motor delays caused by cocaine exposure foster care and its impact on motor development adolescent pregnancy and the complications of prenatal substance abuse ethical dilemmas multidimensional measurement systems and longitudinal researchThe book’s authors believe that in order to meet the needs of children who have been prenatally exposed to drugs, care providers must know the limitations associated with the process and methodology of assessment and learn to address the shortcomings of evaluation.

Book excerpt: This book explores common perceptions of and misconceptions about the increasing number of drug-exposed children entering our educational system, showing how poverty and images projected by the media have an adverse affect on the lives of these children. The study investigates teachers' attitudes toward children who are born exposed to crack or cocaine, focusing on teachers' expectations of these students' social and neurobehavioral responses.

Book Synopsis The Quality of the Relationship Between Mothers and Their Drug Exposed Infants and Its Implications for the Child's Mental Health by : Carolyn D. Harris-Muchell
Download or read book The Quality of the Relationship Between Mothers and Their Drug Exposed Infants and Its Implications for the Child's Mental Health written by Carolyn D. Harris-Muchell and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to better understand the relationship between drug exposed infants and their mothers and how this relationship may be associated with mental health outcomes for the child. Hypotheses predicted that drug exposed infants and their mothers would have more relationship impairment and a higher incidence of relationship disorders than non-drug exposed infants and their mothers. It was also hypothesized that greater relationship impairment would be associated with worse adaptive social behavior and more emotional and behavioral problems for children. A nested case-control design was used, involving secondary analysis of data collected from a larger prospective cohort study. Two measures were used to assess relationship problems: the Parent-Infant Relationship Global Assessment Scale and a Videotape Rating Scale for Relationship Disorders that was developed as part of this study. Both measures were based upon Axis II of the Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood. These measures were used to code videotaped, feeding interactions that occurred of the infant in the home at 3 months of age. When the child was 2 years of age, adaptive social behavior was measured with the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales and emotional and behavioral problems were assessed using the Child Behavior Checklist. Results indicated that, in general, drug detailed comparison of drug exposed and non-drug exposed dyads indicated a higher incidence of specific relationship disorders among drug exposed dyads. The most prominent relationship problems were over-involvement and a mixed relationship disorder that included a gestalt of neglect, anxiety and anger/hostility. Relationship impairment was associated with better adaptive social behavior by the child in domains such as daily living skills and socialization. This finding suggests that children in more dysfunctional relationships may learn to readily comply with their mother's demands to avoid feared consequences and to become more self-sufficient in the face of maternal neglect or insensitivity. Relationships that involved anger and hostility predicted more depression, anxiety and withdrawal for children at age two.
