"This extremely accessible text is designed to help beginning
clinicians enter the daunting world of child and adolescent mental
health interviewing and assessment. Two seasoned psychiatrists
share their considerable experience with various types of
interviewing approaches, multiple levels of child development, and
the practical use of DSM-5. Their clear, jargon-free prose includes
actual clinical interviews that bring the material vividly to
life."--Gregory K. Fritz, MD, Professor and Director, Division of
Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Warren Alpert Medical School of
Brown University
"This important second edition effectively places the art and
science of child and adolescent clinical interviewing within the
context of DSM-5. The case examples and interviewing scripts make
it a valuable aid for clinicians working with a diverse array of
childhood mental health conditions. I encourage all child clinical,
counseling, and school psychologists to consider adding this second
edition to their libraries. The reproducible parent questionnaire,
which gathers key biopsychosocial information pertaining to past
and present functioning, will be especially helpful for diagnostic
decision making and treatment planning.”--John S. Carlson, PhD,
NCSP, Director, Doctoral Program in School Psychology, Michigan
State University
"An excellent resource for both the experienced clinician and
beginning graduate student. The integration of DSM-5 criteria with
child and adolescent development make this a one-of-a-kind book. It
would make a wonderful text for any course in child assessment and
diagnosis, given its well-organized content, developmental focus,
and applicable (and interesting) case examples. I loved the first
edition and referred to it frequently--the second edition is even
better. Every clinician who evaluates or treats children should
have a copy of this book on his or her shelf."--Ellen Braaten, PhD,
Department of Psychiatry, Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard
Medical School
"This thorough, up-to-date book is sensitive to the unique
challenges of engaging children and adolescents in meaningful
dialogue about their lives. The inclusion of both age- and
diagnosis-based frameworks for interviews is a helpful feature. The
case examples serve to demonstrate the recommended practices with a
variety of presenting problems, and appendices offer additional
useful resources for clinicians. This book is a valuable tool for
psychologists and other professionals working with children and
adolescents, as well as for students."--Rachel Brown-Chidsey, PhD,
Educational and School Psychology Program, University of Southern
Maine
"This book is full of concrete examples of how practitioners
organize their thoughts and devise their questions as they get to
know a child and family. The reader sees how each piece of
information that emerges from a diagnostic interview is like a
puzzle piece that, with time, allows the evaluator to develop a
picture of what is happening in the child’s life right now. The
section on specific diagnoses organizes case vignettes into clear
diagnostic thinking. The authors write with warmth, humor, and the
optimistic belief that difficult behavioral and mental health
problems can be understood and treated."--Judith Warner, author
ofWe’ve Got Issues: Children and Parents in the Age of Medication
-Morrison and Flegel's text is a stellar addition to the newly
minted child psychiatry fellow's library….Its greatest assets are
simplicity and clinical utility….In three easy-to-read chapters
spanning only 70 pages, the authors provide a good introductory
overview of the basics of interviewing a younger crowd. These three
chapters in particular would make excellent reading prior to the
start of fellowship, to give beginning fellows a manageable but
meaty platform to hit the ground running with on July 1st….This
book is an excellent resource, especially for the new fellow
learning the basics, and for those of us still struggling with the
tedium of DSM-5 diagnostic coding. I have found no better guide
that accomplishes both of these tasks in one book without putting
the reader to sleep. If I were to do fellowship again, I would
definitely wish to have a copy of this book.--Journal of the
American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 3/1/2018ƒƒThis
book…is very comprehensive and takes a thorough walk through the
many diagnostic categories that apply to children and
adolescents….This book can be a useful addition to any child and
adolescent psychology or social work graduate program. It can also
be used in any psychiatric residency program with a specialty or
fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatric medicine.--Child and
Family Behavior Therapy, 3/1/2017ƒƒThis is a helpful tool for
clinicians, describing how to tailor interviews to different ages
and how children may present with various disorders based on their
developmental level. Since each section also discusses DSM-5
criteria, it is also a helpful review of criteria.--Doody's Review
