Features: With the advancement of social and economic development, the process of urban industrialization has accelerated, and competition has intensified, leading to a series of significant changes in people's lives. These changes have also had a profound impact on the current healthcare system. As the disease spectrum of humans has evolved, the traditional biomedical model has rapidly shifted toward a bio-psycho-social medical model. Due to the increasingly evident role of lifestyle habits and socio-economic behaviors in the occurrence, development, and progression of various diseases, the incidence of psychological and behavioral disorders among the population has been rising year by year. This has made the involvement of medical psychology, behavioral medicine, and developmental behavioral medicine in modern clinical medicine inevitable. Our publishing house has organized experts from relevant disciplines and fields, combining China's actual conditions, to compile this specialized book. Since the work of mental health for children and adolescents in China started relatively late and references are still insufficient, this book draws on many international relevant materials and data. Some theories and research are also at the forefront. This book can serve as a reference for clinical psychological work and research in disciplines such as child health care, developmental behavioral pediatrics, general pediatrics, school health, and child and adolescent health. It is also suitable for professionals in psychology, education, rehabilitation, and social work for teaching and research purposes, as well as for parents as a reference.
