Although research on the diagnosis and treatment of depression
in children and adolescents has lagged far behind that in adults,
recent large-scale studies -- armed with operationalized criteria
and validated assessment instruments -- have done much to close
this gap. In The Many Faces of Depression in Children and
Adolescents, Drs. Shaffer and Waslick lead a distinguished group of
contributors in presenting an overview of the key findings and
concepts emerging from recent empirical efforts to understand the
cause of depressive illness in youth. Featured are the following: -
Current findings regarding the epidemiology, diagnosis, and
treatment of depression in childhood and adolescence- Results of
major clinical trials evaluating outpatient psychotherapeutic
interventions for depressed and suicidal children and adolescents
(e.g., cognitive-behavior therapy and interpersonal psychotherapy
for depressed children and adolescents; dialectical behavior
therapy for suicidal youth)- State-of-the-art principles of
pharmacotherapy for acute, continuation, and maintenance treatment
phases of major depressive disorder in children and adolescents-
Dilemmas and challenges related to the diagnosis of bipolar
disorder in children- Current knowledge regarding the epidemiology
and clinical manifestations of -- and the etiological risk factors
for -- suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and completed suicide-
Developments in the emerging field of youth suicide prevention
An invaluable compendium of current thought on a disorder whose
potential consequences can be nothing short of devastating, this
volume belongs on the bookshelf of every clinician who treats
children and adolescents.
