Child and Adolescent Mental Health

This volume covers all the core aspects of child and adolescent mental health. Beginning with the background and origin of emotional and behavioral problems, it looks at models and tools for assessment and treatment and then examines specific problems encountered in children, young people, and their families from different cultural backgrounds. Chapters are structured to incorporate difficulties that span the age spectrum but present differently over time, such as eating disorders, depression, ADHD, and sleep difficulties. This edition includes access to a website with additional case studies, references with helpful links, and information on resources and educational services.
