Primary Child and Adolescent Mental Health

This third edition of the three volume reference set has been revamped with the new primary care paradigm in mind, furthering its usefulness as a resource in working with mental health in children. Organized chronologically, volume I offers an overview of the subject and explores general issues; volume II addresses preschool, middle childhood and adolescent, and III considers non-age specific problems in addition to specific mental health issues such as diet and exercise, imaginary friends and stealing. A full range of afflictions and disabilities are covered with definitions, assessment outlines, management options, and referral indications as well as case examples.
