内容説明

Severe Stress and Mental Disturbance in Children uniquely blends current research and clinical data on the effects of severe stress on children. Each chapter is written by international experts in their fields. Stressful events occur throughout the life cycle. But how do major stressful events-accidents, sexual abuse, violence, divorce, adoption, natural disasters-during the developmental stages relate to adulthood? Psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, pediatricians, other health care and medical professionals, and students can use this book as a current review of the topic, a reference, and a clinical guide. It offers a new perspective on the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of stress in children.
