Overview

This new, thoroughly revised fifth edition of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry for the Specialty Board Review offers a comprehensive study guide of child psychiatry. New authors incorporate the latest evidence-based content while still offering the questions and detailed answers format of previous editions. Part I includes chapters covering normal development, diagnostic categories, treatments, and special issues, whilst Part II includes new case problems that test knowledge of assessment and treatment planning. This book includes hundreds of multiple-choice questions, modelled on board examination questions, and includes references from leading textbooks, providing a comprehensive review of the field. Both general and child/adolescent psychiatrists will find this fifth edition essential, not only as a guide for preparing for their first successful board examination but also as a review in preparing for important recertification exams.
