With the publication of the new Diagnostic and Statistical Manual
of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), and the recent release of the draft
diagnostic criteria to be used in the forthcoming International
Classification of Diseases (ICD-11), students, researchers, and
clinicians are in need of an authoritative and practical guide to
understanding the diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
in childhood and adolescence. This is particularly the case given
that, other than designating a separate diagnosis with a smaller
number of symptoms for preschoolers, these new diagnostic compendia
provide little information regarding developmental differences in
the onset, expression, and course of the disorder. Child and
adolescent mental health professionals-whether they are students in
training, practitioners, or scientists-will benefit from this
book's summaries of the available research on PTSD in young
persons, descriptions of how the expression and consequences of
PTSD might change across developmental periods, and suggested
strategies for differential diagnosis between PTSD and other
disruptive behavioral and emotional disorders that present with
overlapping symptoms across childhood and adolescence. The author
also discusses cutting-edge issues, such as the constructs of
posttraumatic growth and resilience, and summarizes the evidence
base for treatments focused on alleviating PTSD in young persons
through interventions targeting the individual youth, the family,
and their larger ecological contexts.
