Popis: Pediatric psychologists are frequently consulted by pediatric and subspecialist physician colleagues to address disruptive behavior and noncompliance in the medical setting. Externalized behaviors that interfere with medical care can impede health improvement and outcomes, putting pediatric patients at risk for longer hospitalizations and medical complications, and places increased demand on the already limited resources of the healthcare system. Both inpatient and outpatient approaches for addressing disruptive behavior and noncompliance are presented in this chapter. Assessment and intervention models are discussed, as well as strategies for pediatric psychologists consulting and collaborating with medical colleagues in a joint effort to improve patient care and health outcomes. Influences of family systems and the role of medical trauma as contributing factors in disruptive behaviors and noncompliance are highlighted.
