Handbook of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Infancy and Preschoolers

Everything clinicians and health care workers need to known about child and adolescent psychiatry. This book provides the most up-to-date, comprehensive coverage of all we know about child and adolescent psychiatry. Volumes 1, 2 and 3 explore the developmental stages and syndromes of infancy and preschool, grade school, and adolescence. Each of these volumes addresses the normal development during each period, the theoretical and clinical perspectives of the period, and the clinical syndromes most commonly associated with it. Volume 4 explores the varieties of development and the impact of psychosocial, medical, and foreign cultural factors on development on all three stage groups. Partial table of contents:
