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).
