Este libro expone el efecto de la implementación de un programa de intervención dirigida a población infantil, que presenta un conjunto de dificultades comportamentales, y que pertenecen a sectores sociales vulnerables de la ciudad de Neiva. La obra se fundamenta en el contexto de las investigaciones realizadas a nivel mundial, latinoamericano y nacional sobre programas de evaluación e intervención enfocados en disminuir déficits comportamentales, que permitan una mejor adaptación de los niños a los diferentes ámbitos de su vida cotidiana. En este sentido, uno de los constructos más estudiados en relación con las dificultades del comportamiento es la cognición social, principalmente el dominio de la Teoría de la Mente (ToM) que, explica desde el punto de vista cognitivo, las deficiencias emocionales y comunicativas en situaciones sociales y las dificultades manifiestas en población con diagnóstico de trastornos asociados a sintomatología comportamental, como el trastorno disocial de la conducta (tdc) y el trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad (tdah). El libro comienza con la presentación del desarrollo histórico y la conceptualización de los trastornos en cuestión; posteriormente, se describen las características familiares, clínicas, adaptativas; así como, el funcionamiento ejecutivo y de la cognición social en niños y niñas participantes del programa de intervención. Finalmente, se presentan los resultados y contribuciones del estudio al conocimiento y a la práctica en el área.

Antisocial behaviour and conduct disorders are the most common reason for referral to child and adolescent mental health services and have a significant impact on the quality of life of children and young people and their parents and carers. Rates of other mental health problems (including antisocial personality disorder) are considerably increased for adults who had a conduct disorder in childhood. This new NICE guideline seeks to address these problems by offering advice on prevention strategies and a range of psychosocial interventions.It reviews the evidence across the care pathway, encompassing access to and delivery of services, experience of care, selective prevention interventions, case identification and assessment, psychological and psychosocial indicated prevention and treatment interventions, and pharmacological and physical interventions.Readership: Intended for healthcare professionals in CAMHS, but this will also be useful to professionals in primary care (as there is much emphasis on recognition).

Comprehensively examining the relationship between cognition and emotion, this authoritative handbook brings together leading investigators from multiple psychological subdisciplines. Biological underpinnings of the cognition-emotion interface are reviewed, including the role of neurotransmitters and hormones. Contributors explore how key cognitive processes -- such as attention, learning, and memory -- shape emotional phenomena, and vice versa. Individual differences in areas where cognition and emotion interact -- such as agreeableness and emotional intelligence -- are addressed. The volume also analyzes the roles of cognition and emotion in anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, and other psychological disorders.

This is the first book on the acquisition of Spanish that provides a state-of-the-art comprehensive overview of Spanish morphosyntactic development in monolingual and bilingual situations. Its content is organized around key grammatical themes that form the empirical base of research in generative grammar: nominal and verbal inflectional morphology, subject and object pronouns, complex structures involving movement (topicalizations, questions, relative clauses), and aspects of verb meaning that have consequences for syntax. The book argues that Universal Grammar constrains all instances of language acquisition and that there is a fundamental continuity between monolingual, bilingual, child and adult early grammatical systems. While stressing their similarities with respect to linguistic representations and processes, the book also considers important differences between these three acquisition situations with respect to the outcome of acquisition. It is also shown that many linguistic properties of Spanish are acquired earlier than in English and other languages. This book is a must read for those interested in the acquisition of Spanish from different theoretical perspectives as well as those working on the acquisition of other languages in different contexts.
