Abstract:

The behavioural and emotional disorders exhibited by children and adolescents are at the centre of the study of child psychiatry; however, the interests of those active in the field extend beyond these core areas. The psychosomatic physical conditions in which stress or other environmental factors may play a role, delays and deviations in development, and general and specific learning problems are all relevant to child psychiatric practice; and these areas are all covered in this comprehensive textbook of child and adolescent psychiatry. The very practical approach and readable style will make this book essential reading for the entire range of professionals dealing with disturbed children, adolescents, and their families.
