Product Description
Childhood Mental Health Disorders is a comprehensive report, based on a thorough review of the literature, of the current recognized spectrum of childhood mental health disorders, including effective use of psychotropic medications and psychosocial interventions for children and adolescents. All of the studies come from top experts in the medical and psychology communities, and include the most recent, updated information, despite the rapidly changing face of child and adolescent mental health studies. Acknowledging the complexity of these disorders and the need to individualize treatment, the volume is intended as a basic yet comprehensive framework for anyone interested in mental health in children and adolescents. The disorders addressed include attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, autism and schizophrenia, and other commonly recognized disorders.

Ten distinguished academicians and clinicians in this very specialized are of psychology have contributed to “Childhood Mental Health Disorders: Evidence Base And Contextual Factors For Psychosocial, Psychopharmacological, And Combined Interventions”, a review of the professional literature focused on evidence-based practice pertaining to psychopharmacology and psychotherapy for a variety of mental health disorders in children. This seminal volume covers currently available information on the effective use of treatment modalities, sequencing, comparative risks and benefits, the integration of psychotropic medications, as well as psychosocial interventions for children and adolescents. Among the conditions or disorders addressed are those that are internalized (anxiety, depression), and those that are externalized (hyperactivity, conduct, oppositional defiance, attention deficits). An impressively informed and informative body of analytical commentary, “Childhood Mental Health Disorders” should be considered an essential acquisition for professional, clinical, and academic library Child Psychology/Child Psychiatric reference collections and supplemental reading lists.
