Launched in 1971, Adolescent Psychiatry promised "to explore
adolescence as a process . . . to enter challenging and exciting
areas that may have profound effects on our basic concepts."
Further, they promised "a series that will provide a forum for the
expression of ideas and problems that plague and excite so many of
us working in this enigmatic but fascinating field." The repository
of a wealth of original studies by preeminent clinicians,
developmental researchers, and social scientists specializing in
this stage of life, the series has become an essential resource for
all mental health practitioners working with youth.
Volume 24 of The Annals surveys four broad areas of adolescent
psychiatry that speak to the challenges and opportunities now
before the field. Part I offers three important reassessments of
adolescent development; they focus, respectively, on
separation-individuation theory, the interpersonal matrix of
adolescence, and the psychology of belonging. Part II explores the
future of child and adolescent psychiatry in the context of
school-based mental health services. Several assessments of ongoing
school-based mental health clinics provide the context for
reflection on the future of school-based delivery systems. Part III
examines forensic issues in adolescent psychiatry and includes an
overview of forensic psychiatry for adolescent psychiatrists, an
update on juvenile justice, and a review of the issue of competence
in adolescents. Finally, Part IV offers a series of current
perspectives on psychopharmacology in relation to adolescence.
Contributors review the current status of pharmacological treatment
of different adolescent populations, including adolescents with
behavior disorders, affective disorders, anxiety disorders,
pervasive developmental disorders, and psychosis. The volume
concludes with a timely examination of the role of psychiatric
consultation on an adolescent medical service.
