Concise Guide to Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

by Mina K. Dulcan, MaryBeth Lake

The fourth edition of Concise Guide to Child and Adolescent Psychiatry addresses the essential body of knowledge in the field of child mental health that has been accumulating at a rapid pace since the release of the third edition in 2003. With this acceleration of research has come a greater awareness of the increasing emotional and behavioral problems faced by our youth, refined evaluation practices, and enhanced treatment options, including new medications and evidence-based psychotherapies. Findings that most experts agree are relevant to clinical practice are incorporated into this edition. Designed to be a practical reference tool for psychiatrists, psychiatric residents, medical students, and other mental health, pediatric, and education professionals working in a wide variety of settings, Concise Guide to Child and Adolescent Psychiatry is an important tool for all those working in pediatric mental health.
