It explores the complex relationships between disabling conditions and impairment, with new data and insights on assessment and potential avenues for treatment. Original and revised chapters critique current models of impairment and offers an integrated model rooted in the contexts of medical, mental health, and cognitive challenges in disability. Leading scholars and clinicians provide updated evidence for a much-needed reconceptualization of impairment within the context of diagnosis and disability. This contextual approach to assessment - a wide-ranging quality-of life perspective - goes beyond symptom counting, resulting in more accurate diagnosis, targeted interventions, and improved patient functioning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTopics featured in this book include: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe role of family and cross-setting supports in reducing impairment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelationships between adaptive behavior and impairment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLegal conceptions of impairment and its implications for the assessment of psychiatric disabilities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpairment in parenting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Neuropsychological Impairment Scale (NIS).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Barkley Functional Impairment Scale (BFIS).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Rating Scale of Impairment (RSI).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTreatment integrity in interventions for children diagnosed with DSM-5 disorders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAssessing Impairment, Second Edition\u003c\/i\u003e, is a must-have resource for researchers, clinicians, professionals, and graduate students in clinical child, school, and developmental psychology as well as child and adolescent psychiatry, educational psychology, rehabilitation medicine\/therapy, social work, and pediatrics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45276972286103,"sku":"9781489979940","price":7345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781489979940.webp?v=1769287136","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/assessing-impairment-from-theory-to-practice-9781489979940","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
