DC:0-3 was the first developmentally based system for diagnosing mental health and developmental disorders in infants and toddlers. Its diagnostic... categories reflected the consensus of a multidisciplinary group of experts in early childhood development and mental health. The newly revised DC:0-3R draws on empirical research and clinical practice that have occurred worldwide since 1994. DC:0-3R is designed to help mental health and other professionals. The features include: recognize mental health and developmental challenges in young children; understand how relationships and environmental factors contribute to mental health and developmental disorders; use diagnostic criteria effectively for classification and intervention; and work more effectively with parents and other professionals to develop effective treatment plans. DC:0-3R enhances your ability to prevent, diagnose, and treat mental health problems in the earliest years by identifying and describing disorders not addressed in other classification systems and by pointing the way to effective intervention approaches.

Patients undergoing diagnostic imaging studies often receive a variety of pharmaceutical agents as part of the imaging procedure. Traditionally,... pharmacists have had limited opportunity to be involved with these agents, but this trend is changing. Today there is increasing interest in pharmacist involvement. With recent changes in regulatory oversight of medication management and heightened attention by accreditation bodies, pharmacists need a better understanding of the use of pharmacologic agents in this area of patient care. Diagnostic Imaging for Pharmacists will provide practicing pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and radiology department personnel with a basic understanding of the pharmaceuticals used as part of the imaging process. The book presents practical information, not covered in most pharmacy school curricula, on diagnostic imaging techniques and the proper use, indications, and routes of administration for each pharmacologic agent. KEY FEATURES: The 13 chapters, with 10 contributing authors, provide An introduction to each of the following imaging modalities: x-ray, nuclear medicine and PET imaging, MRI, and ultrasound Detailed information on the use of specific pharmaceuticals in each modality Background information on the use of ionizing radiation in x-ray and nuclear medicine imaging Regulations on the medical use of ionizing radiation Discussion of the risk and concerns associated with the use of radiation in imaging studies More than 50 figures, including actual images obtained with the various modalities, illustrating the concepts discussed

Inviting the help of colleagues worldwide, the concise Diagnostic Issues in Substance Use Disorders is part of the new series, Advancing the Research... Agenda for DSM-V. Its 19 chapters by an international group of experts are designed to stimulate questions that will help guide research related to the development of the next editions of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11), with the goal of ensuring that the major substance use diagnoses represent the same condition in both references. These 19 chapters cover 10 major issues: categorical versus dimensional diagnoses, the neurobiological basis of substance use disorders, social and cultural perspectives, the crosswalk between DSM-IV and ICD-10, comorbidity of substance use disorders and mental health disorders, subtypes of disorders, issues in adolescence, substance-specific criteria, the place of non-substance-related addictive disorders, and available research resources. The conclusion presents a broadly based research agenda for developing diagnostic concepts and criteria for substance use disorders. This deeply informative compendium distills the work done from 2002 to late 2005 and concludes with recommendations for developing research activities that will inform DSM-V and future editions of the manual. As such, it will prove invaluable for clinicians and researchers everywhere.

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory and practice of diagnostic classification models (DCMs), which are useful for... statistically driven diagnostic decision making. DCMs can be employed in a wide range of disciplines, including educational assessment and clinical psychology. For the first time in a single volume, the authors present the key conceptual underpinnings and methodological foundations for applying these models in practice. Specifically, they discuss a unified approach to DCMs, the mathematical structure of DCMs and their relationship to other latent variable models, and the implementation and estimation of DCMs using Mplus. The book's highly accessible language, real-world applications, numerous examples, and clearly annotated equations will encourage professionals and students to explore the utility and statistical properties of DCMs in their own projects. The companion website (projects.coe.uga.edu/dcm) features data sets, Mplus syntax code, and output.
