Childhood Mental Health Disorders
Evidence Base and Contextual Factors for Psychosocial, Psychopharmacological, and Combined Interventions
Description:... This book is the latest review of the literature on evidence-based practice pertaining to psychopharmacology and psychotherapy for various mental health disorders in children. This volume thoroughly reviews current information on effective use, sequencing, comparative risks and benefits, and integration of psychotropic medications and psychosocial interventions for children and adolescents. Acknowledging the complexity of these disorders and the need to individualize treatment, the authors of this volume have created a basic yet comprehensive framework for mental health providers. The mental health conditions addressed include the internalizing (e.g., anxiety, depression) and externalizing (e.g., attention-deficit/hyperactivity, conduct, oppositional defiant) disorders. -- Jacket.
