In this volume, Elena Garralda and Jean-Philippe Raynaud aim to
contribute to advancing awareness of child and adolescent mental
health within an international framework that gives special
consideration to problems arising in different contexts around the
world and through expert views supported by empirical evidence and
considering clinical implications. There is increasing recognition
worldwide of the importance of child and adolescent mental health
problems, of the distress and impairment they can cause to children
and their families, and of the markedly adverse effects on
education and on adult psychiatric adjustment when left untreated.
Globally, however, services to attend to these problems in children
are uneven and patchy. There is a need to advance awareness of
child and adolescent mental health and of factors that influence
them. Chapters address the effects on child mental health of issues
ranging from secular changes in family composition in both western
and eastern countries, rapid industrialization, poverty,
deprivation, and adoption, to refugee status and aboriginal life.
It considers emerging issues, such as cyber addiction, PTSD, ADHD
across different cultures, and the autistic "epidemic." They
discuss new service developments (Eastern Europe, paediatric
liaison services) in the context of traditional methods
(traditional Chinese medicine).

This volume, part of the International Association of Child and
Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions' book series 'Working
with Children & Adolescents,' aims to bring up-to-date
empirically derived knowledge on transcultural themes as they
affect child and adolescent mental adjustment, to assist those
seeking to understand and ameliorate the mental health problems of
children and young people. The contributors represent expert views
supported by empirical and clinical experiences. They address first
general transcultural issues of relevance for child mental health
(i.e. political turmoil, the effects of stigma, anthropological
considerations, international adoptions, and the adjustment of
specific immigrant groups); secondly, cultural aspects of specific
child and adolescent mental health disorders. Thirdly, it covers
the training of professionals in transcultural child psychiatry and
setting up temporary interventions in war and conflict areas.
