Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early emotional development, emotional regulation, and the links between emotion and social or cognitive functioning in atypically developing children have not received much attention. This lack is due in part to the priorities given to the educational and therapeutic needs of these children. Yet an understanding of the basic emotional processes in children with atypical development can only serve to promote more effective strategies for teaching and intervening in the lives of these children and their families and may contribute to our understanding of basic emotional processes as well. When referring to "emotions," the editors mean some complex set of processes or abilities, whether or not the topic is normal or atypical development. Specifically, they use the term "emotion" to refer to at least three things -- emotional expressions, emotional states, and emotional experiences. The focus of this volume, these three aspects of emotional life are affected by socialization practices, maturational change, and individual biological differences including, in this case, differences in children as a function of disability. Contributors examine the development of emotions in children with organic or psychological disorders as well as those in compromised social contexts making this volume of prime importance to developmental, clinical, and social psychologists, educators, and child mental health experts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Child and Adolescent Psychology provides an accessible and thorough introduction to human development by integrating insights from typical and atypical development. This integration cements understanding since the same processes are involved. Knowledge about atypical development informs the understanding of typical development, and knowledge about typical development is a necessary basis for understanding atypical development and working with children with disorders. Based on international research, and informed by biological, social and cultural perspectives, the book provides explanations of developmental phenomena, with a focus on how children and adolescents at different age levels actually think, feel and act. Following a structure by topic, with chronological developments within each chapter, von Tetzchner presents and contrasts the major theoretical ideas in developmental psychology and discusses their implications for different aspects of development. He also integrates information about sensory, physical and cognitive disabilities and the main emotional and behavioral disorders of childhood and adolescence, and the developmental consequences of these disabilities and disorders. Child and Adolescent Psychology is accompanied by online resources for lecturers and students to enhance the book, including essay questions for each chapter, Powerpoint slides and multiple-choice questions. The book and companion website will prove invaluable to developmental psychology students.

Chapters describe theoretical and biological foundations and address the roles of cognition and context on emotional development. In addition, chapters discuss issues concerning atypical emotional development, such as anxiety, depression, developmental disorders, maltreatment, and deprivation. The handbook concludes with important directions for the future research of emotional development. Topics featured in this handbook include: The physiology and neuroscience of emotions. Perception and expression of emotional faces. Prosocial and moral emotions. The interplay of emotion and cognition. The effects of maltreatment on children’s emotional development. Potential emotional problems that result from early deprivation. The Handbook of Emotional Development is an essential resource for researchers, clinicians/professionals, and graduate students in child and school psychology, social work, public health, child and adolescent psychiatry, pediatrics, and related disciplines.

Book excerpt: The current book addresses the development of mental state understanding in children with typical and atypical population, and reports new suggestions about the way to evaluate it and to support it through training. The presented frame is multifaceted. In respect to typical populations, the role of maternal reflective functioning, language, communication, and educational contexts has been deepened; and the association with internalizing/externalizing behaviors, performances in spatial tasks and pragmatics has been addressed as well. As to atypical populations, deficits in mental states understanding are reported for children with different developmental disorders or impairments, as the agenesis of the corpus callosum, Down Syndrome, preterm birth, Autism Spectrum Disorder, hearing impairment and personality difficulties such as anxiety. Overall, the papers collected in our book allow a better understanding of the mechanisms influencing mental state understanding and the effects of mental state comprehension on development.

Book excerpt: Finalist for a Books for a Better Life Award A pediatric neuropsychologist presents strategies to help parents of special-needs children navigate the emotional challenges they face. As diagnosis rates continue to rise for autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, and other developmental differences, parents face a maze of medical, psychological, and educational choices – and a great deal of emotional stress. Many books address children’s learning or behavior problems and advise parents what they can do to help their kids, but until Not What I Expected: Help and Hope for Parents of Atypical Children there were no books that explain what the parents are going through - and how they can cope with their own emotional upheaval – for their own sake, and for the wellbeing of the whole family. With compassion, clarity, and an emphasis on practical solutions, Dr. Rita Eichenstein's Not What I Expected: Help and Hope for Parents of Atypical Children walks readers through the five stages of acceptance (similar to the stages of grief, but modified for parents of special-needs kids). Using vivid anecdotes and suggestions, she helps readers understand their own emotional experience, nurture themselves in addition to their kids, identify and address relationship wounds including tension in a marriage and struggles with children (special-needs and neurotypical), and embrace their child with acceptance, compassion and joy.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many studies have documented the importance of emotional knowledge for later social competence in typical children (e.g., Denham, 1986; Dunn & Cutting, 1999; Schultz, Izard, Ackerman, & Youngstrom, 2001). However, less is known about the factors that lead to the development of these skills, or the growth trajectories of these skills in children with developmental disabilities. The aims of this longitudinal study were: (1) to examine the specificity and uniqueness of emotional understanding and expression in atypical populations, and (2) to identify if joint attention skills in early development are predictive of greater emotional understanding and increased positive reported expression of emotions at an older age. The initial sample consisted of 135 children: 37 with a diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), 66 with Down syndrome (DS), and 32 with other developmental delays (DD). At entry children were rated on initiations and responses to joint attention at a mean age of 3.17 years. At follow-up, 122 of the original children were assessed again, at a mean age of 10.7 years, on emotional labeling, identification, expression, and empathy. The ASD group had a lower rate of responding to joint attention at entry. Diagnostic group differences were also found for the DD group, with more negative expressed emotions as rated by parents, but there were no difference in teacher report of negative expressed emotions in the classroom. The DS group performed significantly worse on a number of expressive measures: labeling of negative emotions, identification of both positive and negative emotions, and empathy to a positive vignette. However, when given the same tasks receptively, the DS group did not perform significantly different than the other two diagnostic groups. Early initiations of nonverbal joint attention gestures predicted greater parent reported positive emotional expression, holding diagnostic groups constant with a coefficient of determination equal to .224. These results suggest that improvements in joint attention at a young age may have long-term consequences for later expressive affect in children with developmental disabilities. These data are consistent with other research that has found concurrent associations between joint attention and positive affect (Kasari et al., 1990) and increases in positive affect due to joint attention training (Lawton & Kasari, 2012).
