This 2000 publication reviews the rapid development of functional neuroimaging techniques and their implications for child psychiatry. It is unusual in its focus on children, and in integrating brain mapping with genetics and behavioural testing. This reference will help clinicians and investigators to: * Understand through imaging the mechanisms of childhood psychiatric disorders * Decide which technique is most appropriate for their purposes, with respect to technology, experimental design, data analysis and ethical considerations * Appreciate the role of molecular genetics and neuropsychology in planning brain imaging studies Coverage includes description of brain imaging strategies and the application to children of imaging techniques used in adults, set against an overview of normal behavioural and cognitive development. Linking the latest findings from neuroimaging to neurophysiological models, this is an essential resource for researchers and clinicians concerned with neurodevelopmental disorders.

An authoritative account of clinical and research applications of functional imaging techniques in child psychiatry.
Review of the hardback: 'This book will be of great use to doctors,
researchers and teachers and as it is known the brain does not
reach maturity until about the age of 20 it implies a maturing
concept … This very clear, current and rigourous work brings
psychiatry and neurology to its origins.' Dr J. M. Sala, European
Journal of Psychiatry
Review of the hardback: 'Every professional and novice in
functional neuroimaging will benefit from these authors' insightful
reflections on the caveats and dangers involved in interpreting
functional neruoimaging … Functional Neuroimaging in Child
Psychiatry is an interesting, informative and comprehensive
textbook on the subject; worthwhile reading for the lay reader, the
novice and the expert.' Cognitive Neuropsychiatry
