Description
Book SynopsisAlready a foundational resource in the field, Dulcan's Textbook of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry has been updated in the third edition, including the latest research and clinical advances. An expanded chapter on telehealth acknowledges the changes and challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and also discusses e-mental health options that support primary care providers, who are often the front line in mental health treatment. Two completely new chapters on pediatric consultation liaison psychiatry examine the history, clinical practice models, scope of interventions, and pharmacological considerations that are relevant to treatment of medically ill children and those seen in primary care—more important than ever, with the significant increase in the number of children with mental health care needs who are seen by pediatricians.
In addition, readers will find thorough, DSM-5-aligned insight from dozens of experts on:
• Neurodevelopmental and other psychiatric disorders, including disorders affecting somatic function, with clinical descriptions, epidemiology, risk factors, diagnosis, treatment options, and more
• A full range of psychosocial treatments, including those focused on both individuals and families, as well as therapeutic milieus and systemic models of care
• The principles and application of psychopharmacology, from antidepressants to antipsychotic medications to mood stabilizers and medications for ADHD
• Specialized issues, including cultural and religious considerations, gender and sexual diversity, and legal and ethical issues
Each chapter features summary points for ease of reference and extensive references for continued study.
Working with young patients, who are changing and evolving with age throughout the course of treatment, and their families presents very real and distinct challenges. This latest edition of Dulcan's Textbook of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry provides child and adolescent psychiatrists, pediatricians, family physicians, general psychiatrists, child neurologists, psychologists, advanced practice nurses, psychiatric social workers, and other practitioners the depth and breadth of knowledge needed to treat children and adolescents effectively.
Trade ReviewMina Dulcan has succeeded in editing an outstanding third edition of
Dulcan's Textbook of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, demonstrating why this text is foundational for child and adolescent psychiatrists and other pediatric mental health professionals. This new edition is concise, current, comprehensive, and easy to use, providing the practical and actionable guidance that clinicians need when treating children and families. The state-of-the art reviews by thought leaders in the field give the clinician the cutting-edge approaches needed to provide evidence-based care, while at the same time providing references that support the science. The new text has expanded on the use of evidence-based rating scales, telehealth utilization and practice, and emerging technologies to give clinicians and educators the tools and knowledge that are required to manage the increasing complexity of mental health service provisions and requirements for measurement-based practice. Dr. Dulcan has identified the most relevant issues for child psychiatry in the increasingly complex health care environment, and chapter authors provide clear guidance needed to advance practice. This is an invaluable resource for child and adolescent psychiatry practice—especially now in our rapidly changing mental health care environment."
