Description
"Emanating from a strong scientific and empirical foundation, this book outlines how to treat psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents and how to address common impediments to successful intervention in the real world. Until recently, treatment of child and adolescent psychopathology received scant empirical attention. Now, this book provides state-of-the-art information on treatments of psychiatric and behavioral disorders in children and adolescents. By addressing optimal treatment strategies, secondary and "back-up" interventions, and impediments to effective treatments, this volume is useful and relevant to both clinicians and scholars. Chapters are tightly organized and parallel the DSM-IV, the diagnostic standard for mental health. "This book is divided into three parts, optimizing ease of use and readability. Part One examines the bases of a prescriptive approach to treatment. Part Two examines specific child and adolescent disorders. A complete discussion of each disorder is followed by a case illustration that presents actual or hypothetical treatments. Part Three focuses on the special issues in the treatment of children and adolescents, such as fire setting, sexual abuse, physical abuse and neglect, children of divorce, chronic medical illness, and health promotion." For specialists in psychiatric and behavioral disorders in children and adolescents.
