Concise Guide to Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

Since the publication of the fifth edition of the
Concise Guide to Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in 2017, the
field has evolved significantly. Evaluation methods have been sharpened,
evidence-based treatments have multiplied, stigma surrounding mental illness
has waned, and debates about disorders and treatments have surged in the
media. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic, the widespread adoption of
social media, and ongoing challenges with access to care have reshaped how
psychiatric professionals support young patients and their
families.

This sixth edition distills and incorporates the latest
research and the collective clinical expertise that leading experts consider
most relevant, delivering actionable insights tailored to today's practice.
Key updates include the following:

* Every section has been revised
to reflect DSM-5-TR criteria
* Outdated diagnostic and treatment
information has been pruned and new recommendations have been made
* A
brand-new chapter on neuromodulation has been added
* Two new expert
authors have joined as contributors

Crucially, the guide retains its
core strengths: the authors bring extensive clinical and teaching
experience, abundant summary tables provide rapid access to essential
information, key references and additional readings offer pathways for
further study, and recommended resources for parents reinforce the
clinician-family partnership.

Covering the diagnosis and treatment of
neurodevelopmental, anxiety, mood, trauma-related, obsessive-compulsive
disorders, and others, this concise guide remains rich in practical
guidance. Designed as a primer for medical and mental health students and
trainees, it also serves as a focused, up-to-date resource for practicing
clinicians.
