Book Description

In recent years, the understanding of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) has evolved significantly, encompassing not only the medical and biological dimensions of this genetic disorder but also the psychological implications it carries for those affected. TSC is a rare genetic condition characterized by the growth of benign tumors in various organs, often leading to a complex interplay of physical and emotional challenges. As a multidisciplinary approach becomes increasingly essential in managing such conditions, the integration of psychological support has emerged as a vital component in the overall care of individuals with TSC. This book, "Psychological Support by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Tuberous Sclerosis Complex," seeks to bridge the gap between medical treatment and psychological well-being. By employing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as a therapeutic framework, this work aims to empower individuals with TSC, their families, and healthcare professionals by providing practical tools and insights to navigate the emotional landscape associated with this condition. In the following chapters, I will explore a range of topics, including the biological and genetic underpinnings of TSC, the psychological ramifications of living with a chronic condition, and the application of CBT techniques tailored specifically for individuals affected by TSC. Each chapter is designed to not only inform but also offer actionable strategies for managing the emotional burdens often accompanying this disorder. It is my hope that this book serves as a valuable resource for clinicians, therapists, and individuals living with TSC. By enhancing the understanding of the psychological aspects of TSC and providing effective therapeutic tools, we can foster resilience, improve quality of life, and promote a more holistic approach to care. I extend my gratitude to all those who contributed to this project, especially the individuals and families affected by TSC who shared their experiences and insights. Your courage and resilience inspire the work within these pages. Together, let us embark on this journey toward understanding and support.

Book Description

This book provides a detailed account of intellectual, other neuropsychological and behavioral manifestations of general pediatric diseases. The conditions discussed include the whole range of pediatric diseases - genetic syndromes, other congenital conditions, metabolic, endocrine, gastrointestinal, infectious, immunologic, toxic, trauma, and neoplastic, as well as sensory disabilities including deafness and blindness. Although the book is not intended to discuss cognitive and behavioral manifestations of conditions usually considered to be primary neurological disease, some of those, including cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, myotonic dystrophy and epilepsy, are included. Where possible, a "translational" approach is used, linking the behavioral and cognitive manifestations of these conditions, to the underlying structural, chemical or genetic abnormalities and their effect on the brain, and, in turn, on behavior and cognition. At the same time, included are significant psychosocial factors. Together, those factors have a major effect on patients' performance, including school performance, and on their families. This book is unique in its extensive coverage of the major pediatric conditions and of the detailed neurological, neuropsychological and behavioral aspects of each condition.

Book Description

This cutting-edge book brings advances in genetics, neurobiology, and psychopharmacology to the clinic to enhance treatment for neurodevelopmental disorders. Significant progress has been made in identifying the neurobiological mechanisms of several disorders and targeted treatments are modifying the outcome of these disorders. However, the ability to utilize this knowledge has not been summarized in one place for the practicing clinician. This book will fill that gap by providing the theoretical underpinnings and the latest advances in targeted treatments. Several neurodevelopmental disorders are reviewed in detail including clinical features and behavioral phenotypes, standard treatments and new targeted treatments based on the latest advances in neurobiology and the animal model studies that have led to new treatments. The disorders covered include psychiatric disorders: schizophrenia, depression, autism and ADHD; single gene disorders including Tuberous Sclerosis, Fragile X Syndrome and fragile X- associated disorders, Angelman Syndrome, PKU, and Muscular Dystrophies; and complex genetic disorders such as Down syndrome. This book also highlights the commonalities across disorders and new genetic and molecular concepts in an easy to read format. This is a very exciting time for new targeted treatments and this volume is a landmark treatise on this new age of treatment.
