This work provides an overview of what is involved in obtaining mental
health care for children from infancy through adolescence. The book
discusses the various conditions that stem from mental, emotional and
physical factors - everything from bedwetting to lying, from
hyperactivity to rebellion against parental authority, to drug-related
problems - and tells how to determine whether a child's behaviour is a
normal part of child development or whether it signals a deeper problem
for which professional help should be sought.
