Excerpt

The treatment of psychiatric disorders in infancy, childhood, and adolescence has undergone substantial changes since the last edition of this text. Advances in the fields of child and adolescent psychiatry, neurology, and other related pediatric subspecialties have resulted in the development of new evidence-based, diagnosis-specific psychosocial and psychopharmacological interventions, including updates related to the recent release of DSM-5. In the following chapters, our expert colleagues summarize briefly the natural history and clinical features of selected DSM-5 disorders and then focus on evidence-based treatments for conditions under discussion. The child and adolescent section of this book has been substantively revised, and new chapters on communication disorders and elimination disorders have been added since the last edition.
