With the emergence of the biological sciences in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, some explanations of congenital malformations with a basis in scientific fact were formulated. It was not, however, until the thalidomide tragedy in 1961 that the necessity for further study of the effects of environmental factors on congenital malformations was recognized. By the early 1970s concentrated efforts had begun to be directed toward evaluating the effects on the unborn child of mood-altering drugs taken during pregnancy. Over the past decade, research and treatment programs have led to the recognition of a full range of psychoactive drugs that affect the developing fetus either somatically or behaviorally. Programs for the treatment of the pregnant drug addict have been developed which concentrate not only on the pharmacologic therapy of the woman but also on the social and psychologic characteristics that place her and her unborn child at risk. This book is an attempt to bring together clinicians and researchers who have been active in developing programs for the recognition and management of the chemically dependent pregnant woman and her newborn. The contributions of the multiple disciplines which the authors represent emphasize the need for a multifactorial approach to the problems of drug use and abuse during pregnancy. It is hoped that through this type of approach a better future for substance-exposed infants, innocent bystanders in the process of addiction, can be assured. Ira J.

Moment to Moment: Perspectives on FASDs in Adolescence Young people with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders suffer a wide range of disabilities - physical, emotional, and developmental - due to their prenatal exposure to alcohol. The interventions and treatment they require cover an even broader range. This book, Moment to Moment: Perspectives on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders in Adolescence, is designed for families and professionals who provide care, treatment, and social services to adolescents with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders. It provides detailed information about the effects of prenatal alcohol exposure and provides further insight into the reasons behind the children's behaviors. Experts from the fields of pediatrics, child psychology, social services, education, and more share their perspectives on challenges caregivers face as they provide for adolescents who have been affected by their biological mothers' use of alcohol during pregnancy. Each chapter is designed to shine new light on a distinct angle of FASDs, including the important perspective of a parent who has guided her daughter into young adulthood. As authors, we seek to educate all who can prevent FASDs and those dedicated professionals who treat children with FASDs. But ultimately, we hope that this book and the related Moment to Moment documentary and presentation will help everyone look beyond the behaviors we see and to understand the source and purpose of those behaviors as children with FASDs struggle to deal with a world they have difficulty comprehending.
