Overview

A team of 51 experts has created a reference that reflects a biopsychosocial approach to patient treatment that is accessible. The contributors have distilled the essence of their work into 20 crafted chapters - including three new chapters on the clinical treatment of children and adolescents - updating key clinical information related to a variety of settings, such as inpatient, partial hospitalization and outpatient. The chapters are organized around three broad areas, from normal development and assessment methods to diagnostic information and finally to treatment, these authors update and summarize: normal child and adolescent development, the psychiatric interview, psychiatric history and mental status examination; a broad spectrum of psychiatric disorders that affect infants, children, adolescents, adults and seniors; the latest treatments, including psychopharmacology and electroconvulsive therapy; psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic psychotherapy, and supportive psychotherapy; and treatment of children and adolescents.
