Already 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.
