- 소개/요약This volume provides a hands-on description of the steps involved in the treatment of pediatric Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures (PNES), a rare, highly morbid, often misdiagnosed conversion disorder that presents with seizure-like symptoms. This book equips professionals with the tools needed to improve the poor quality of life of youth with PNES and their families. The text begins by introducing the disorder's main features, the diagnostic challenges, techniques to diagnose PNES, and how to provide feedback on the diagnosis as well as the short and long-term treatment plan. The text's clinical examples of dos and don'ts during the child's therapy and work with the parents provide the reader with skills and techniques to stop the non-epileptic seizures and treat the underlying conversion disorder. The book's appendix includes resources about PNES, treatment paradigms, templates of letters about the condition and behavior management plan for the child's school, and cognitive behavioral therapy treatment resources. Written by the few experts in this area. Pediatric Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures is the ultimate guide for psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, school counselors, nurses, primary care physicians, neurologists, epileptologists, and all medical professionals working with children experiencing conversion disorders, such as PNES.
