商品描述

Handedness is a multidimensional phenomenon co-determined by polygenetic and developmental aspects, multifactorial influences and in some cases, pathological impact. It is important for professionals working with children, including those who are still undecided about their writing hand, to assess, analyse and understand the complexity of handedness comprehensively to prevent problems related to switched or atypical handedness. Beyond Left and Right Handedness uses a practice-based approach to handedness and systematically integrates theory, research and practice. Part I, 'Theory and Research, ' critically evaluates and utilises the broad spectrum of the handedness literature as a theoretical basis for the development of handedness instruments. Part II, 'Assessment and Analysis, ' presents diagnostic and analytical instruments developed by the author based on numerous in-depth studies and extensive clinical practice over 20 years. These include the HandednessProfile, a standardised assessment of various handedness dimensions; and the Handedness Typology, an analytical framework to interpret different types of handedness. Part III, 'Implications for Practice, ' contains detailed case studies on assessment and treatment by professionals working with children presenting with unclear and/or atypical handedness.

"This book provides the reader with a comprehensive and scholarly discussion of the topic, presenting a careful, in-depth description of all aspects of the topic and providing professionals with the necessary, evidence-based tools to address handedness in practice. It is an invaluable resource that is well situated in the latest evidence-based understanding of handedness and provides a comprehensive guide to addressing the important development of handedness." - Prof. Dr. Helen Polatajko

商品描述(中文翻譯)

手性是一個多維現象，由多基因和發展方面共同決定，受到多重因素的影響，在某些情況下還會受到病理影響。對於與兒童工作的人員來說，包括那些尚未決定寫字手的兒童，全面評估、分析和理解手性的複雜性是非常重要的，以防止與手性轉換或非典型手性相關的問題。《超越左手與右手》採用基於實踐的手性方法，系統性地整合理論、研究和實踐。第一部分「理論與研究」批判性地評估並利用手性文獻的廣泛範疇，作為發展手性工具的理論基礎。第二部分「評估與分析」介紹了作者基於20年來的多項深入研究和廣泛臨床實踐所開發的診斷和分析工具，包括《HandednessProfile》，這是一種標準化的各種手性維度評估；以及《Handedness Typology》，這是一個用於解釋不同類型手性的分析框架。第三部分「實踐的啟示」包含了針對呈現不明確和/或非典型手性的兒童的專業人員在評估和治療方面的詳細案例研究。

「這本書為讀者提供了對該主題的全面且學術性的討論，仔細深入地描述了該主題的各個方面，並為專業人員提供了必要的基於證據的工具，以在實踐中處理手性問題。這是一個寶貴的資源，充分體現了最新的基於證據的手性理解，並提供了針對手性發展的重要指導。」- Prof. Dr. Helen Polatajko
