Sotos syndrome, characterized by its distinctive physical features, cognitive challenges, and various health concerns, presents unique psychological and emotional hurdles for affected individuals and their families. This book, "Psychological Support by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Sotos Syndrome," aims to address these challenges through the lens of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In recent years, there has been growing recognition of the profound impact that psychological support can have on individuals living with genetic conditions. Many families navigating the complexities of Sotos syndrome often grapple with feelings of isolation, uncertainty, and distress. This book seeks to bridge that gap by providing valuable insights, practical tools, and therapeutic strategies tailored to meet the needs of those affected by this syndrome. The foundation of this work lies in the integration of psychological theory, genetic understanding, and therapeutic practices. Each chapter delves into critical topics—from understanding the biological and genetic underpinnings of Sotos syndrome to exploring the various therapeutic approaches available. By combining scientific knowledge with practical applications, we hope to empower readers to engage with the psychological aspects of living with Sotos syndrome in a constructive manner. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has proven to be an effective intervention for addressing a range of emotional and psychological issues. It focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, enabling individuals to challenge negative thought patterns and develop healthier coping strategies. This book not only introduces the principles of CBT but also emphasizes its specific application to the unique experiences of individuals with Sotos syndrome. Moreover, this book acknowledges the vital role of families, caregivers, and healthcare professionals in the therapeutic process. Through the inclusion of personalized therapeutic approaches and tools, we aim to create a comprehensive resource that fosters collaboration among all parties involved in the care and support of those affected by Sotos syndrome. In closing, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all the individuals and families who have generously shared their stories and insights. Your resilience and courage continue to inspire us all. It is my hope that this book will serve as a guiding light, offering support, understanding, and practical strategies for navigating the emotional landscape of Sotos syndrome. Together, we can build a foundation for hope, healing, and a brighter future.

James Harris's two volume work on developmental neuropsychiatry sets the agenda for this emerging clinical specialty. Written by an individual with the developmental expertise of a pediatrician, the behavioral sophistication of an adult and child psychiatrist, and a deep appreciation of neuroscience, these two books offer an integrated yet comprehensive approach to developmental neuropsychiatry. Grounded in neuroscience but enriched by clinical realities, Volume II provides a comprehensive review of the developmental neuropsychiatric disorders. Throughout the text current DSM-IV diagnostic criteria are provided. Part I outlines the diagnostic process and the genetic history, provides details on the conduct of neuropsychological testing, and offers a detailed review of brain imaging techniques, moving from CT and MRI scanning to the most recent developments in functional MRI and PET scanning. Part II discusses mental retardation, cerebral palsy, the learning disorders, the pervasive developmental disorders, and traumatic brain injury. Part III describes behavioral phenotypes in cytogenetic and other genetic disorders, genetic metabolic disorders, and disorders that result from gestational substance abuse. Part IV is devoted to developmental psychopathology and includes Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity disorder, schizophrenia, Tourette's disorder, sleep disorders, and the syndromes of aggression and self-injury primarily occurring in mentally retarded persons. Part V covers treatment and includes detailed descriptions of psychotherapy, behavior therapy, pharmacological interventions, genetic counseling, and gene therapy. Finally, Part VI deals with legal and ethical issues as they pertain to developmentally disabled persons.

Increasingly more and more children with developmental disabilities survive into adulthood. Pediatricians and other clinicians are called upon to care for an increasing number of children with developmental disabilities in their practice and thus there is a need for a practical guide specifically written for paediatricians and primary care clinicians that addresses major concepts of neurodevelopmental pediatrics. In the United States, the specialty training leading to a conjoint board certification by the American Board of Pediatrics and American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, requires a total of 6 years of training (2 years of pediatrics, 1 year of neurology, 18 months of child neurology, 18 months of neurodevelopmental disabilities). As of December 2006, in the US, there were 241 pediatricians and 55 child neurologists certified in the subspecialty of Neurodevelopmental Disabilities. Thus most of the children with developmental disabilities are seen by pediatricians and therefore it is important for these pediatricians to be well informed of common issues in the field. The 60,000 or so pediatricians in the United States (and hundreds more in other countries) are the main target audience for a practical book on neurodevelopmental pediatrics.
