Clinical Child Psychiatry From Wiley

Product Description

Clinical Child Psychiatry, Second Edition serves as a focused text of the major problems, challenges and practices commonly encountered in clinical child psychiatry.

The introductory section covers assessment of the patient, treatment planning and a review of CBT and play therapy. Each chapter in section two reviews a clinical disorder in detail, giving diagnostic criteria and clinical management advice and is enhanced by case studies. The final section covers special topics such as foster care, adoption, loss and grief, sleep disorders, forensics and socioeconomics.

Clinical Child Psychiatry, Second Edition provides invaluable guidance for all practitioners: interns and residents entering the field, pediatricians and family physicians who now provide the preponderance of child psychiatric services, and experienced clinicians encountering new areas of practice.

Praise from the reviews:

"… the information provided is practical and presented in user-friendly fashion. The editors have done an excellent job in organizing this text. I recommend this text to interns and residents in psychiatry and child psychiatry as well as to pediatricians and general psychiatrists." AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PSYCHIATRY (first edition review)

“… useful as a reference guide. For those entering the field, it is a good book to begin with…it is easy to read and the methods used to employ this information enhance the text." DOODY'S HEALTH SERVICES

Download Description
Clinical Child Psychiatry, Second Edition is the successor of the successful textbook edited by Drs Klykylo and Kay in 1998. This book comprises a textbook of current clinical practice in child and adolescent psychiatry. It is midway in size between the small handbooks that provide mainly a list of disorders and treatments, and the large, often multi-volume texts that are comprehensive but not easily accessible. It is designed to be a reference for clinicians that is both easily usable and authoritative, a chairside reference for the consultation room. This book addresses a defined series of clinical entities that represent the bulk of current treatment modalities and disorders encountered in 21st-century practice. It is designed to be authoritative in the areas addressed while at the same time being rapidly accessible in format. To facilitate access, it presents disorders in declining order of frequency. The authors believe that worthwhile clinical work must be informed both by evidence-based practices and by psychiatry's traditional attention to internal and interpersonal dynamics. They are committed to an approach that is broadly biopsychosocial while based on current clinical evidence for a pragmatic, clinical focus.
