However, it was not until the mid-1960s that attempts were made to consolidate developmental-behavioral issues into an identifiably distinct fund of medi cal knowledge. During the ensuing two decades, developmental-behavioral pediatrics was recognized as a clinical and research subspecialty, within the framework of compre hensive health care for children. The influence of public advocacy groups, topic-dedicated journals, national professional specialty societies, subject-related continuing education programs, and federal legislation (PL94-142) has served to crystallize developmen tal-behavioral pediatrics as a specialized field of study. As a consequence, during the past ten years significant modifications have restructured medical student and pediatric resi dent education, providing an emphasis on developmental-behavioral issues. The focus on neurodevelopmental, educational, and psychosocial issues reflects changing priorities in traditional health care for children. The postgraduate training of pediatric fellows, in two and three-year training programs, was initiated to accommodate professional manpower needs in both academic and practice settings. Many of the problems in childhood development and behavior frequently span the traditional areas of child neurology, child psychiatry, and general pediatrics. As a result there has been some confusion in demarcating professional responsibilities in diagnosis and management, as well as poorly defined terminology and classification schemas. With the birth of developmental pediatrics as a pediatric specialty, a more cohesive fund of knowledge has been accumulated and more meaningful strategies have been designed for prevention, diagnosis, and management. Although originally an "offshoot" of profes sional interest in mental retardation, developmental-behavioral pediatrics has signifi cantly broadened its clinical perspective to include such topics as: learning disabilities, communication handicaps, cognitive disorders, neuromotor problems, behavioral prob lems (e.g., hyperkinesis), and adjustment reactions-to mention only a few. Within this framework, these disorders are of critical concern to the developmental pediatrician. Although confusions in terminology and classification persist, a "working" definition of developmental-behavioral disorders might best be conceptualized as any disorder which is potentially capable of producing a chronic handicap that adversely affects the quality of the child/adolescent's life. Perhaps the key component of this definition of developmental-behavioral disorders relates to the recognition that, in asso ciation with most of the problems for which intervention is not provided, there is a negative effect on the child's self-concept, self-esteem, and self-confidence. Poor self concept can in turn jeopardize the course of childhood, adolescence, and adult life. As vii viii PREFACE these negative psychosocial variables persist, they may significantly impede neurodevel opment and behavior. Often the superimposed personality and behavioral disorder can present a greater management problem than the original pathology. For the child, the family, the educational system, the community, and the professional team, developmen tal-behavioral problems generally encompass problems associated with emotional and financial strains. These variables further impact on the course of the neurodevelopmental or neurobehavioral disorder. Because of their special skills, pediatricians have been assigned a significant and critical role in developmental-behavioral medicine. However, the complex nature of these disorders generally necessitates a well-coordinated interven tion by an interdisciplinary team. The scope of developmental concerns has been dramatically expanded during the past decade. To cover all of the developmental-behavioral disorders in depth would require a work encyclopedic in nature, perhaps consisting of several volumes. Therefore, we have not made an attempt to cover the broad area of developmental-behavioral pediatrics entirely in this book. We have, instead, compiled what we feel to be many of the essential and timely topics that confront the pediatric health care provider in the area of child development and behavior. Effort has been made to present this information in a concise text, with a more extensive appendix that includes useful tables and information for quick reference. Although we hope that medical students, pediatric residents, fellows, and practitioners will find this book particularly useful, we have dedicated this work to all professionals who help families and their children who have developmental disabilities.
