• This book draws on the experience of an international group of paediatric epidemiologists, all of whom are world authorities in their field. In a consistent format they discuss biological considerations, patterns of occurrence, risk factors and the impact of interventions for each type of disorder. The disorders reviewed include not only the traditional morbidity of childhood such as infections, birth defects, asthma, and cerebral palsy, but also the new morbidity: emotional problems, intentional and n-intentional injuries, and suicide. This book will have wide appeal to health professionals at every level as it draws on personal experience combining paediatrics and epidemiology.

• Readers may welcome some explanation why our three authors reversed the sequence of events by tackling the problems of beyond the best interest of the child.
•  Earlier than in 1973, the difficulties and mistakes surrounding children placement loomed so large and  clamored so insistently for solution that the questions what and for what reasons these children find themselves at he mercy of state disposition were pushed into the background.
• Joseph Goldstein has been leading insight and loving-kindness meditation retreats worldwide since 1974. He is a co-founder of the Insight Meditation Society (IMS) in Massachusetts, where he continues as one of the resident guiding teachers. In 1989, together with several other teachers and students, he established the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies and, later, The Forest Refuge. A seminal figure in the emergence of Buddhism in the West, Joseph is the author of numerous books including One Dharma. He lives in Barre, Massachusetts.
