The Division of Psychology provides specialty clinic evaluations and
treatment in the following areas: attention deficit and hyperactivity
disorder, behavioral disorders, chronic health impairment, learning disorders,
and neuropsychological disorders. The division also provides outpatient
and inpatient consultation to children with a variety of medical conditions.
Pediatric residents participate in these psychology clinics during their
required developmental and behavioral pediatrics rotation. The content
of the clinical experience includes supervised parent interviews regarding
behavior, emotional status, school achievement, and social functioning
of the patient. The resident also participates in structured behavioral
observation to learn about the technique of applied behavioral analysis.
Psychological testing is observed by the resident and the resident is
taught some psychological screening tests. Residents who choose an elective
rotation on this service may acquire further understanding of common psychological
problems of children and adolescents.
