Rutter's Child and Adolescent Psychiatry has become an
established and accepted textbook of child psychiatry. Now
completely revised and updated, the fifth edition provides a
coherent appraisal of the current state of the field to help
trainee and practising clinicians in their daily work. It is
distinctive in being both interdisciplinary and international, in
its integration of science and clinical practice, and in its
practical discussion of how researchers and practitioners need to
think about conflicting or uncertain findings.
This new edition now offers an entirely new section on
conceptual approaches, and several new chapters, including:
* neurochemistry and basic pharmacology
* brain imaging
* health economics
* psychopathology in refugees and asylum seekers
* bipolar disorder
* attachment disorders
* statistical methods for clinicians
This leading textbook provides an accurate and comprehensive
account of current knowledge, through the integration of empirical
findings with clinical experience and practice, and is essential
reading for professionals working in the field of child and
adolescent mental health, and clinicians working in general
practice and community pediatric settings.
