Every day, millions of children experience serious mental health
issues, such as symptoms related to autism, psychosis, mania,
depression, and anxiety. Moreover, many youth struggle with issues
related to trauma, eating, sleep, disruptive behavior, and
substance use. Most of these youth do not receive evidence-based
treatments. Instead, they commonly receive untested, ineffective,
and even harmful treatments. Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy
presents the research-supported treatment packages and their
individual components for every major mental health issue facing
infants, children, and adolescents. Each chapter also identifies
and analyzes other variables and resources that influence
treatment: parents, assessment, comorbidity, demographics and
medication. Useful resources are included for each mental health
issued covered in the book. The chapters are organized in the same
order as they appear in the DSM-5.
Is it possible to overcome the enduring problem of child
maltreatment? In Eradicating Child Maltreatment, leading
international figures in the field of child welfare address this
enduring and thorny question, setting out a public health approach
to prevention. It draws on groundbreaking research and practice on
prevention and early intervention from around the globe spanning
health, social care, education and criminal justice. Contributors
describe what is known about the incidence of child maltreatment,
how far we have succeeded in eradicating it, which preventative
strategies have been proven to be effective, and offers evidenced
recommendations for policy and practice. Aiming to draw us nearer
to the goal of a world free from child maltreatment first
articulated by the visionary paediatrician Dr. C. Henry Kempe in
1978, this important book provides new insights for professionals,
managers, academics and policymakers across the range of child and
family welfare services.
