This fifth edition remains a superb and up-to-date reference on
child and adolescent psychiatry and I highly recommend it to any
clinicians who are involved in the care of children and adolescents
with psychiatric disorders.
This text certainly has merit for trainees who might not be exposed
to the full range of child and adolescent psychiatric disorders
during their clinical rotations. The material in this synopsis
reminds clinicians to be mindful of disorders that might not
commonly be the primary focus of psychiatric assessment.
Undoubtedly this concise text will be a useful resource for initial
board review/examination preparation and has been a valuable
reference in preparing for the Royal College of Physicians and
Surgeons of Canada general psychiatry examination. The authors have
succeeded in developing a text to reach a broad clinical audience,
because this succinct overview is presented in a straightforward
manner suitable for clinicians with varying degrees of clinical
expertise. The text also is a helpful reference for medical
students and junior residents learning about child and adolescent
psychiatry.
