The seventh edition of "Basic Child Psychiatry" has been completely
revised and updated to take account of advances in this fascinating
and important subject.
The opening chapters set the scene with developmental
considerations, epidemiology and assessment. Coverage includes
causal factors and reflects the progress made in the understanding
of the genetics of child psychiatric disorders. The main body of
the book guides the reader through the major disorders. The final
chapters address child abuse and neglect, treatment approaches and
prevention. References are provided to enable readers to locate
more information on subjects they wish to pursue further.
The book refers to the widely used systems of classifying
psychiatric disorders - the World Health Organisation's "ICD-10
Classification of Mental and Behavioural Disorders" and the
American Psychiatric Association's "Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR)" - and provides a succinct
orientation chapter on these systems.
