“…Others would follow to advocate for psychologists to develop primary care mental health services for children (e.g., see Christophersen, 1982;Drotar, 1995;Perrin, 1999;Roberts & Wright, 1982;Routh, Schroeder, & Koocher, 1983;Stancin, 1999). Major pediatric psychology textbooks began including chapters on primary care (Drotar, Spirito, & Stancin, 2003;Stancin et al, 2009).…”

Despite an early interest in pediatrics among psychologists and a natural partnership between psychology and pediatrics, psychologists' impact on services for children in primary care settings could be much greater than it is. The purpose of this article is to describe the special contributions of pediatric psychologists and pediatricians in the development of comprehensive, integrated systems of health care for children; the importance of health behavior change as a preventive measure in the lives of children and adolescents; and how psychologists, through their leadership in clinical, research, and advocacy efforts, can harness the important resources of family relationships to promote the health of children.

“…The BHOP consultation model most closely resembles a melding of the indirect functions model and the collaborative team model described by Roberts and Wright (1982). Although the PCM retains responsibility for the patient's care in accordance with the indirect functions model, the BHC and the PCM collaborate on strategies recommended by the BHC and medical interventions implemented by the PCM as used in the collaborative team model.…”

The primary care setting is the "linchpin of the new health care delivery system" (Haley et al., 1998, p. 237), and given the high volume and the incredible variety of patient complaints (Pruitt, Klapow, Epping-Jordan, & Dresselhaus, 1998), pediatric primary care providers have little time for counseling caregivers regarding developmental or psychological problems. Reisinger and Bires (1980) found that on average, pediatricians spent 97 seconds with an infant under five months and 7 seconds with an adolescent providing anticipatory guidance. Despite the lack of time available for addressing developmental and psychological concerns, there is a clear need for primary care, "the de facto mental health system" (Strosahl, 1996, p. 1), to address the needs of the more than 7.5 million children and adolescents This chapter was authored or coauthored by an employee of the United States government as part of official duty and is considered to be in the public domain.

“…A medical dictionary, such as Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary, can be useful in becoming familiar with basic medical terminology and abbreviations. This familiarity can both enhance communication in the pediatric clinic and improve the ability to describe assessment and treatment recommendations in terms with which the pediatrician is familiar (Roberts & Lyman, 1990).…”

“…The purpose of this paper, then, is to provide a behavioral prescription that will stimulate collaboration rather than parallel development between applied behavior analysis and pediatrics in the promotion and maintenance of child health behavior. The literature is replete with excellent resources for psychologists describing how to establish a behavioral pediatrics training program, how to select an appropriate consultation model to follow, and how to maintain a relationship with a pediatrician once one has been established (e.g., Christophersen, Cataldo, Russo, & Varni, 1984;Drotar, Benjamin, Chwast, Litt, & Vajner, 1982;Roberts & Lyman, 1990;Roberts & Wright, 1982;Stabler, 1979). Nowhere, however, is there a detailed behavioral prescription that directs the behavior analyst how best to initiate contact and successfully establish a collaborative relationship with a pediatrician.…”

A Behavioral Prescription for Promoting Applied Behavior Analysis Within Pediatrics

In recent decades, pediatric medicine has undergone a shift in focus from infectious diseases to the effects of behavior on the health and development of children. At the same time, behavior analysts have increasingly evaluated the direct application of their technology to the development and maintenance of child health behavior. Unfortunately, applied behavior analysts have developed their technology parallel to, rather than collaboratively with, pediatricians and, as a result, are not recognized as experts in the treatment of child health behavior. In addition, behavioral technology is not widely recognized as the treatment of choice by pediatricians. This paper provides a behavioral prescription for behavior analysts who wish to enter pediatrics as expert scientists and technicians. Specific recommendations are provided for stimulating collaborative rather than parallel development between applied behavior analysis and pediatrics in the promotion and maintenance of child health behavior. Strategies for maintaining this collaborative relationship and for strengthening the social relevance of behavior analysis are discussed.
