The standard reference in the field, this acclaimed work synthesizes
findings from hundreds of carefully selected studies of mental health
treatments for children and adolescents. Chapters on frequently
encountered clinical problems systematically review the available data,
identify gaps in what is known, and spell out recommendations for
evidence-based practice. The authors draw on extensive clinical
experience as well as research expertise. Showcasing the most effective
psychosocial and pharmacological interventions for young patients, they
also address challenges in translating research into real-world clinical
practice.
